Vanishing Hour (2022)
Laura Griffin
"Wow! Laura Griffin is quite simply one of the best romantic thriller writers out there. Tightly plotted, character-driven, Vanishing Hour keeps the twists and turns coming all the way."

December '41 (2022)
William Martin
"This pedal-to-the-floor historical spy thriller is a knockout! In the weeks immediately following Pearl Harbor, Old Hollywood collides with a secret Nazi cell and the result is a tautly written, adrenaline-filled roller coaster ride with the highest of stakes. Add in colorful characters, hairpin turns, and hold-your-breath suspense, and this has Do Not Miss stamped all over it."

Radar Girls (2021)
Sara Ackerman
"Radar Girls is a wow of a book! I loved Daisy Wilder and her friends and this engaging look into a fascinating, little known slice of WW2 history, the creation of the Women’s Air Raid Defense (WARD). The lush tropical paradise of Hawaii, left reeling in the aftermath of the horrifying attack on Pearl Harbor, provides the perfect setting for this captivating story of friendship, heartbreak and true love. Highly recommend!"
