Women in the World Wars: breaking barriers, making history

Welcome to my author website!

I'm thrilled to share with you the captivating world of my work as a WW2 Historical Fiction author, specializing in the stories of female resistance fighters.

Prepare yourself for an immersive journey through the transformative 20th century, where the courage and resilience of women finally took center stage. From the heroism of fictitious Resistance women in my “Resistance Girls Series” to the real-life exploits of female spies of the SOE (Special Operations Executive) of the French Section, my mission is to illuminate the often-overlooked contributions of brave women in wartime.

To ensure authenticity, I employ cutting-edge research techniques, embark on field trips, and conduct interviews. Embracing diversity in historical narratives, I strive to amplify the diverse array of experiences and perspectives that shaped our past.

At the heart of my work lie the acclaimed 8 books in The Resistance Girl Series, chronicling the indomitable spirit of women who defied tyranny and oppression across various European countries. Moreover, I'm embarking on an ambitious journey with the planned 40 Books in the Timeless Spies Series, where dual timelines intertwine to reveal the untold stories of female secret agents, unearthed by modern-day exemplary women.

With my historical fiction, I aim to infuse life into the past, inviting readers to rediscover history's forgotten heroines and explore the enduring relevance of their stories in today’s volatile political climate. They fought for freedom from oppression, reminding us of the fragility of peace in our modern world.

Join me on this journey through time, where the courage of women shines a brilliant light through the annals of history. Welcome aboard!
