About The Paris Orphans: A heart-wrenching and moving WW2 historical fiction short story (The Paris Sisters):

Clutching her suitcase tightly to hide her trembling hands, Charlotte takes a steadying breath. This is the most dangerous thing she has ever done, but the lives of five innocent children are depending on her. I can do this…

Paris, 1943: As Charlotte rushes into the station, she can feel the unmistakeable chill of being watched. Turning her head, she catches the eye of a Nazi guard, and forces herself to slow down. Not today, please not today…

Reaching the platform, she sees her sisters Isabelle, Madeline, Antoinette and Gigi waiting with five children, fear etched onto their young faces. As she gets closer, Charlotte can see each child has a faded patch on their coat where a yellow star has been carefully unpicked.

Once she and the children are onboard, Charlotte turns and stares down at her sisters on the platform. Squeezing her eyes shut, she tries to imprint their beloved faces in her mind. And as the whistle blows, she presses her hand to the cold glass, murmuring a silent prayer that her sisters will be safe, and that they will all meet again…

As she turns her attention back to the children in her care, her heart breaks to see tears glistening in their eyes. Taking a deep breath, she promises that they will be safe, that she won’t let anything happen to them. But has Charlotte just made a promise she can’t possibly keep?

The prequel to the Paris Sisters series, this short story tells a tale of bravery and determination in the face of the darkness of the Second World War. Perfect for fans of Roberta Kagan, Kristin Hannah, and Fiona Valpy.

22 Light Years to You

About 22 Light Years to You:

Every life has an arrow of time. It starts at the beginning, and runs to the end.

But not for Amy Gallagher. As an astrophysicist, Amy has a different conception of time. And now, with the help of the James Webb Space Telescope, she is poised to reassemble the events of the past by studying light from the first known stars. In much the same way, 22 LIGHT YEARS TO YOU redshifts Amy’s own life, reversing the arrow of time from the year 2022 to the night she first met her husband, Greg, in October 2000.

Following the chain of Octobers past, we see how Amy’s transgendered teen both is, and isn’t, the person he was as a child. How the love Amy feels for her second husband is but a dim reflection of the passion she knew with Greg, who fell—or jumped—to his death in 2015. How Amy’s best friend, Dee, who grew up Black in the same white-bread, Appalachian foothills that Amy did, has a very different story to tell about the two women’s friendship—and about the country unraveling around them.

Most lives carry an inflection point: a Big Bang moment separating before from after. The farther we drift from that seismic event, the harder it is to imagine an alternative. But what Amy comes to understand is that fate is a story we tell ourselves to cover for the mistakes of the past. And that love is a force beyond all reason—a special relativity that binds and shapes.

Life is uncertain, and Sashia soon finds she cannot control every outcome. Used to relying on logic and her own resourcefulness, no amount of training can prepare her for the choices that lie ahead. She struggles to shape her destiny in a patriarchal society where polygamy is legal and women are subject to their fathers or a spouse.

As Berush is threatened by enemies from without and within, Sashia’s creativity, stubbornness, and tenacity place her in a perfect position to both save lives and affect the course of the entire country. The consequences of her decisions will reverberate for generations.

GLOBAL WARMING, GREENHOUSE GASES AND RELATED FACTORS

About GLOBAL WARMING, GREENHOUSE GASES AND RELATED FACTORS:

This paper integrates the factors that are reported in the scientific literature about global warming caused by greenhouse gases and about global temperatures on planet earth since it was created 4.6 billion years ago. According to scientific reports, the terrestrial and ocean surfaces are warmed by infrared radiation of solar energy. The earth’s atmosphere is heated by infrared radiation from the terrestrial and ocean surfaces, as well as from solar energy, and by the action of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide and methane (natural gas). There is a general correlation between the average earth’s atmospheric temperature and the atmospheric carbon dioxide content.
The current concept of global warming is “A rapid increase in earth’s surface temperature.” Scientific reports show that rapid increases in the earth’s surface temperature and atmospheric carbon dioxide began in about 1980; hence we are experiencing global warming. It is generally accepted that when global warming occurs, climate changes such as extreme storms, flooding, hurricanes, extreme blizzards, increased glacial melting, forest fires and drought tend to happen.
