Escape to ‘Indrieg’

About Escape to ‘Indrieg’:

Everyone has a ‘safe place’, somewhere to retreat for a few moments to catch your breath and re-align yourself ready for life’s next challenge. It’s just a snatched daydream away, somewhere you can relax, take a few deep breaths and reset, like rebooting your computer after a ‘blue screen’. You can return victoriously with a ‘ta-daa!’ and a smile!

My ‘safe place’ isn’t like that, and I seldom return with a smile, more of a groan mostly. Returning with a ‘ta-daa’ would be unthinkable!

‘Indrieg’ is my ‘Safe Place’, although its ‘safety’ is highly questionable.

My book is a ‘boarding pass’, a rare invitation to, travel to, and join me on ‘Indrieg’, my Island!

Landing by Moonlight: A Novel of WW II (American Spy Sisters Book 1)

About Landing by Moonlight: A Novel of WW II (American Spy Sisters Book 1):

Ciji Ware – NY Times & USAToday bestselling author presents A NOVEL INSPIRED BY TRUE STORIES OF EXCEPTIONAL AMERICAN WOMEN & MEN WHO VOLUNTEERED AS SECRET AGENTS, PARACHUTING INTO OCCUPIED FRANCE DURING WW II TO JOIN THE RESISTANCE AND WIN THE WAR.

The year is 1942, and American secret agent Catherine Thornton has no idea whether she will be dropped behind enemy lines in an inflatable raft launched from a submarine or be flung through the moonlit sky from a low-flying British Halifax. Either way, the young embassy wife and erstwhile journalist knows there’s always the chance she’ll be picked off by German sharpshooters, although nothing in her imagination prepares her for the trial-by-fire to come.

Only she understands why she volunteered for such “unwomanly warfare” and the secret reasons she joined a handful of female American spies destined to risk her gilded life on French soil–yet former Vichy diplomat Henri Leblanc, code name Claude Foret, thinks he knows the answers.

As Catherine’s missions grow more harrowing each day, and she fears she’s fallen in love with a captured fellow agent, the German SS begin to close in on the world of Madame “Colette Durand” and her Résistance network embedded in coastal cities along the French Riviera—an exposure that could threaten the Allied victory itself.

And hanging in the air like a half-opened parachute is the life-or-death question: Who is the betrayer and who will be betrayed in this, their finest hour?

New York Times & USA Today bestselling author and Emmy Award-winning former broadcast journalist Ciji Ware once again displays her extraordinary talent for weaving historical fact into compelling fiction to produce novels so engaging that one reviewer warned of her work: “…do not start unless you want to be up all night.”

Orpheus’ Blues

About Orpheus’ Blues:

We first meet Jack Stewart on his way back to his apartment in New York City, where he is pursuing a career as a jazz musician.

As the novel unfolds, we learn of the difficulties he encounters, of the friendship he develops with George, his roommate—also a jazz musician—and the women he meets in the city. But more importantly, we learn of the very close relationship he has with his mother, who writes to him regularly from Southern Virginia. Through these letters and series of flashbacks, we come to understand Jack’s background, the stifling environment he left behind, and his father’s resentment and disappointment that he did not take up the family business.

But it is Hans, proprietor of The Empty Hand, philosopher and benefactor of every artist, who holds the novel together. It is from him that Jack receives those words of wisdom and encouragement so necessary for every artist.

At the end of the novel, when Jack believes that he has made sense of it all, everything unravels. It is then that he must travel back to Virginia to face his father, his former friends and his unresolved past.

That Summer in Cornwall (Four Seasons Quartet Book 1)

About That Summer in Cornwall (Four Seasons Quartet Book 1):

“That Summer in Cornwall” is a contemporary, stand-alone sequel to Ciji Ware’s bestselling “time-slip” novel “A Cottage by the Sea.”

A different latitude…a different world…

Meredith Champlin unexpectedly finds herself the legal guardian of a child she’s never met: Janet Barton Stowe, an unruly eleven-year-old “Beverly Hills brat,” whose mother – Meredith’s cousin– has died in a private plane crash.

At the urging of the child’s Anglo-American aunt, Lady Blythe Barton-Teague, Meredith and her Welsh Corgi decamp from Wyoming to spend the summer at Barton Hall, a shabby-chic castle perched on the remote cliffs of Cornwall, England.

Taming the wild child proves a handful, but Meredith’s summer escape gets even more complicated when former British Army Lieutenant Sebastian Pryce, veteran of a bomb-sniffing K-9 squad in Afghanistan, proposes they establish the Barton Hall Canine Obedience Academy and that she join him on the Cornwall Search and Rescue Team. She wonders whether their instant attraction is an unexpected blessing or the prelude to another heartbreak like the one she left behind in the Rocky Mountains.

Even with an assist from a novice search dog named T-Rex, the odds seem long that three months in the land of Meredith’s Cornish ancestors can transform her troubled ward into a happier child, heal the wounds suffered by her soldier-turned-rescuer, and save the Barton-Teague estate from pending insolvency.

As a friend of Meredith’s confides, “It all sounds like a stretch, but we never rule out miracles.”

The Tales of Zren Janin boxed set by ML Dunker

Three strangers race across two countries with only one goal: to survive.
Kerek, Matasi, and Vikland are three countries squabbling like quarrelsome siblings. The Kerek King has allowed banditry against anyone with a different language or skin color, and the Vikland Empress has had enough of her travelers injured and killed outside of her borders. Matasi has also suffered from Kerek’s brutality but has the money and power – or so the Triune Council believes – to break Kerek without bloodshed.

In a war of words and weapons, who will win? For when blood is shed, it is always the young and the poor who pay the greatest price.
