Guardian Angel Launch!
Hello to my loyal followers,
I've got some exciting news!
The fourth instalment in the Master of Illusion series is coming out on Valentine's Day!
Guardian Angel is a historical adventure romance set in World War II France.
Quick Synopsis:
Ten-year-old French singer Nicolas de Beaulieu seems to have it all in the rigours and depression of the 1930s, but as he grows up, he becomes no stranger to grief.
World War II begins and Nicolas and the girl he loves find themselves in deadly peril, hunted by the Nazis.
Hidden in their mountain stronghold, every day is a battle, as they fight to survive as part of the French Resistance.
Guardian Angel is the perfect choice for lovers of Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale and Alyson Richman's The Lost Wife.
It is already available for pre-order on Amazon, iBooks, Nook, Kobo & Smashwords in eBook for $4.99US, and a paperback copy can be secured from Amazon for $24.95US.
