Inspired by real events, the Lady of Lake Como follows the story of a lieutenant with the Italian Police who, during the height of World War II, is tasked with investigating the unsettling disappearance of two women from his small town. Complicating matters, Ezio receives a detestable order from his superiors to arrest a Jewish man simply for the accident of his birth. While enroute to carry out his unbearable duty, Ezio has a crisis of conscience when he encounters a nun whose secret forever changes his heart.

The Daughters of Marburg

The Daughters of Marburg follows the story of two young women and their father who, shortly after the tyrannical November Pogroms, inhabit a home once owned by a Jewish family. While investigating their surroundings, Lilly, the main character, discovers a journal left by the Jewish girl who had fled the house with nothing but the clothes on her back. Through reading her entries, Lilly’s eyes are opened to the brutality of the Nazi ideology. The real threat, she realizes, is the totalitarian power that is being wielded liberally in Marburg by a cruel SS Major. Coupled with affection for the neighboring boy, Wilhelm, Lilly is convinced that she must take action against the wicked regime in whatever capacity she can offer. Recruited into the secret resistance in Marburg, Lilly is forced to decide between her family’s safety and her conscience.

The Lily of the Sky

German forces have invaded Lily Litvyak’s homeland, destroying and plundering everything in their path.
Seeking to volunteer her exceptional skills in piloting, Lily is desperate to aid the war effort and keep the intruders far away from her mother and younger brother.
Despite her years of flying experience, Lily is forced to confront the prejudice of a society that refuses to allow women to fight. Through persistence, and aided by a multitude of women selflessly volunteering to fight, Lily is permitted the opportunity to fly in the Soviet Air Force in the newly created female regiments.
Lily, and the other women who joined the regiments with her, swiftly learn that they are fighting the war on two fronts. They must face the onslaught of German bullets while also wrestling with a bigotry that seeks to undermine their success.
Regardless, the women, especially Lily, soon establish a name for themselves that is whispered in terror among the German ranks.

From Book 1: The name Mata Hari is famous enough on its own merit and strikes a chord with those who know her as the exotic dancer and spy. Before she rose to prominence, however, there is a powerful story of intrigue, scandal, and romance.
This first book in the historical fiction series follows the intimate upbringing of Margaretha Zelle’s juvenile and adolescent years, delving into the character that was later able to produce the grandeur of Mata Hari.
While facing the onslaught of grief that coupled itself with poverty, and battling against the malevolence of lesser men, Margaretha is forced to contend with a cruel world. Adding to her sorrows, the austere Dutch society of the late nineteenth century, which views women through a critical and unforgiving lens, refuses to offer clemency for scandals levied against her. Margaretha understands that she must draw upon her courage or she will succumb to the overwhelming odds stacked against her.
After all, no one is only wrapped up in their greatest deeds, but is also influenced by the myriad of past decisions, whether they are for good or for ill.
