Where WWII Resistance Meets Romance

Welcome to my author website!
If you love dual timeline novels, strong female leads, and stories that reveal how the past still shapes us, you’re in the right place.
I write SOE spy fiction in emotionally layered novels that uncover the lives of women who risked everything during World War II, and the modern characters searching for the truth they left behind. Inspired by the real women of the Special Operations Executive and the Resistance, my books blend historical drama with present-day journeys of memory, identity, and healing.
Through The Resistance Girl Series, I first explored how ordinary women found the courage to do extraordinary things. Over time, these heroines—and their scars, hopes, and hidden strength—came to feel as real to readers as friends. That emotional connection is what drives me: to write stories that are both thrilling and intimate, grounded in real history yet deeply human.
Now, in my Timeless Spies series, I follow the lives of the 39 women of SOE’s French Section—alongside contemporary women who rediscover their legacy in unexpected ways. These novels offer more than wartime adventure; they are about the echoes of trauma, the resilience passed down through generations, and the healing power of stories.
Readers often say my books stay with them long after the last page—because they’re not just about war, but about what it means to survive, to remember, and to hope.
So if you’re drawn to the emotional depth of intergenerational storytelling, the suspense of historical espionage, and the quiet strength of women across time, I invite you to join me.
Welcome to my world!

The Call of Destiny
Codename Violette
Release date 15 July 2025Timeless Spies is both a literary endeavor and a passion project, dedicated to immortalizing the legacy of the 40 female secret agents of the SOE in France during WWII.
In The Call of Destiny: Codename Violette, book 3 in the Timeless Spies series, past and present collide as untold stories of wartime courage unravel in the shadow of a modern-day pandemic.
Romorantin-Lanthenay, France, 2020
In the quiet aftermath of her father’s small pandemic-era funeral, Sigal Lambert discovers a forgotten relic: a Croix de Guerre awarded posthumously to her paternal grandmother, a woman she barely knew existed but whose name she carries.
Sigal’s mondaine life in Paris, shaped by her mother’s pragmatic worldview and her stepfather’s non-Jewish traditions, is suddenly disrupted by questions of courage, legacy, and a heritage she has long ignored. Her grandmother’s story reveals an unexpected connection to Muriel Byck, a British Jewish SOE agent whose mission in occupied France brought her into the same small town during the war.
Muriel’s work with Philippe de Vomécourt’s VENTRILOQUIST Network ended in tragedy, but her bravery left an indelible mark. Teaming up with Albert Maréchal, the grandson of the De Vomécourt family’s gardener, Sigal delves into a shared history while navigating the restrictions of a world transformed by the pandemic. Their growing connection is tempered by distance, forcing them to confront their feelings with care and resolve.
From the dangerous missions of World War II to a present-day world filled with uncertainty, The Call of Destiny: Codename Violette is a story of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring power of love and liberation
