As a NYC-based playwright, I have worked in theater most of my life. I love creating worlds and telling stories. From the time I was a child, I have always been a voracious reader of mysteries as well as a keen student of history, in particular, of WWII. I created the Slim Moran Mystery Series inspired by many stories from the past, some heroic and some horrific and some hidden for years. One, in particular, caught my interest. My friend was a young American bride in 1950's Paris.The first time she used her fireplace on Rue de Seine, smoke flooded the room.

Quotes by Kate Moira Ryan (?)

“You see, if you ask an American how they are, they say fine, but if you ask a Russian, well, let’s just say there’s a reason why War and Peace is such a long book.”
― Kate Moira Ryan, The Lost Spy

“What do you think we would have done if we had been living in Germany during those years? Would we have gone along with all the hatred?” Margaret asked. “I’d like to believe that we’d be part of the Resistance in some way.” “But would we have? An entire nation went mad and no one can come up with a reasonable explanation as to why. Don’t get me wrong: there are a million reasons; but there isn’t one that addresses how ordinary people with any sort of moral compass can do such horrible things.” “That is a question for the ages. Everyone says never again, and yet it will happen again and again,”
