Book Announcement

I am excited to announce the upcoming publishing of my second novel, Shadows and Secrets – A WWII Novel. It is the second book in my Shadows of Resistance Series about the dark world of espionage in occupied France during WWII. It will be available as a paperback and ebook on Amazon.com on June 6, 2026. I chose this date to coincide with the eighty-second anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy, an event featured in my book.

About

April 1944 – Anna and Cameron grow closer to one another as they work for a secret agency in England dedicated to “setting Europe ablaze”. However, when the time comes for Anna to be sent again as a courier into Nazi occupied France, Cameron refuses to let her go back alone. Even if it means breaking the rules. 

The agents are tested in new ways as they labor to keep intelligence flowing back to England, working in a fevered pitch as the Allied invasion draws near. When the noose tightens and Germans and collaborators become even more desperate, they must choose who to trust. And decide if they still trust each other.

FAQs

How do I know this book is for me?

Here’s a quick overview of the book so you can decide if it’s for you!

• Historical Fiction
• WWII Espionage
• Dual POV
• Light Romance
• Clean (no language or spice)

Do I need to read the first book in the series?

While this is the second book, it can be read as a stand-alone. There is enough context and summary of the events in the first book to understand and enjoy this novel on its own. However, if you are interested in learning more about how Anna and Cameron ended up as agents in a secret organization, check out the first book here.
