What Was Rescued (2017)
Jane Bailey
"A deeply poignant tale, thoroughly well told by an author who writes in prose that feels as if it’s dancing on air."
Stasi Child (2015)
(Oberleutnant Karen Muller, book 1)
David Young
"Deep and dark, this debut is utterly gripping, sucking you in straight from the get go . . . a corker of an ending. Superb."
