HOW EASY IS IT TO BE A WRITER?
In 1991, I was living in Berlin, shooting a television series, and in my spare time decided to write a post-Cold War/Tom Clancy-style novel. I sent it to an established agency in New York, and an agent called me to say they loved it. She asked me where I learned to write, and I told her at my keyboard. I just wrote. She said that means you are a natural writer. Dreams of fame and fortune filled my delirious mind.
July 2024 is the release date for my first novel, and no, not the one I wrote in Berlin. Between then and now, I wrote and wrote and sent work out and sent work out. I never stopped and it took only thirty-three years to become an overnight success. If I can get published, you can too, if you're daft enough to keep trying. And why not?
James Bond meets Maisie Dobbs in this riveting new historical caper series featuring a gifted young socialist-turned-counterespionage agent on a World War II mission orchestrated by Winston Churchill himself.
REVIEWS
An exciting, page-turning adventure told in a cinematic style, with an intriguing chase across England, and a pulse-pounding, action-filled climax.
Kevin O-Brien, New York Times Best-selling author
Brilliantly researched and a thrilling tale of spies and dark secrets. It's a captivating caper.
Alan Hlad, International best-selling author
I especially liked Caitrin being smart, resourceful and kind. I raised three daughters that way -- and then there is her wit!
W. David Doiron, Reader, Tempe AZ.
The book is an oddity for a World War II novel. It is funny and filled with witty dialogue, mostly coming from Caitrin. When asked what they are carrying in the hay wagon, she answers the Crown Jewels, correctly not expecting to be believed.

There are no ordinary cats.
