I am super excited to share a sneak peek at the cover of my newest novel, The Devil's Interval, A Novel of WWII Intrigue, which will be coming out later this year. Set in Reims, France in 1942, the novel follows Marc and Marnie Guyere during the German occupation of Reims. Guyere is a famously corrupt Inspector of the Surete who finds himself caught between the German overlords who run the city and the local resistance, led by his best friend Guilliam Standt. Standt asks Guyere to discover the identity of a traitor in the resistance at the same time the German's running the city expect Guyere to track down and eliminate the partisans. Complicating everything is Guyere's fear that he will lose Marnie to the Germans, to Guilliam or to her increasingly deep depression before he can find a way to send her south to rejoin their young boys in the unoccupied south. Then, the brutal death of a young woman threatens to upset everything.
Keep checking back for updates on when the novel will be available.

Somehow it seems wrong that after cutting billions of dollars from Medicaid, Medicare, Education, health research, climate research and mitigations, FEMA, and firing thousands of dedicated federal workers, the US is going to spend tens of millions of dollars for a military parade to 'celebrate the 250th anniversary' of the Army, which also happens to be Trump's birthday. When asked if the other services would get similar events for their 250th birthdays, Kristi Noem had no answer other than she would check.
A man who avoided service in Vietnam is now having a military parade on his birthday.
When is Congress going to say enough? When are they going to take ownership of their equal branch of government and push back against the administration? Surely, they must be aware that cutting services for 'regular' Americans in order to cut taxes for billionaires is not a winning strategy. And they won't have "Woke" to fall back on in 2026, since they have removed it from all aspects of American life.
We cannot abide cruelty.
