Yes, FREE is the cheapest I can offer my books at this time as a show of support for the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. I know reading my WWII memoir, “We Don’t Talk About That,” will be like a ‘close encounter’ with war and go deeper than only seeing it on TV. Learning more about what happened more than half a century ago and comparing history and the news of conflict right now will give the reader

"So very moving.
A brilliantly written and researched story of the love and dedication of a German man for a Jewish girl during World War II. This book was hard to read at times, as the story is so heart-wrenching, but I am pleased that I persevered." Read more of this review » |

“And I don't believe in such a thing as "happily ever after". There's only happily every now and then. I find the hardest trick is to recognize the now-and-thens, and to bask in them when they come. Happiness is a choice we make, like how to wear our hair, or having coffee with breakfast and tea at night.”
― The Passion of Dellie O'Barr

“We are intelligent and compassionate creatures and we can make choices. We can fortify our hearts in goodness and do the right things. Or we can turn our heads the other way and pretend again that bad things are not happening. That they will disappear because they have nothing to do with us, because we are not accountable. Well, this is also our choice. But in that case, I am afraid, this world will be lost for us.”

Ann Victoria Roberts is a writer who uses wonderful English. She pulls you along when reading her stories - you can't help 'inhaling' her books, can't put them down. What a brain this lady is, what a writer! And she started out writing a million dollar story while her husband was at sea, away from home. The rest is history. My favorite books by her? "Louisa Elliot" and "Liam's Story." - The captain of the "Titanic" is also breathtaking, especially if you have seen the movie. I love-love-love this author.
Looking at the incredible list of books available almost makes you dizzy with a desire to read them all! Time! Time is of the essence! When to read and when to write?
James Kostelniuk: We Don't Talk About That is a truly remarkable book that reads like the cinematic unravelling of a Steven Spielberg movie. I am reading it aloud to my wife, Marge, and we are now up to chapter 14. We brought Kleenex for our tears. I am obviously so deeply moved by this true story that at times the writing takes my breath away and I have to stop reading. Our hearts are overflowing each day with the author's courage and initiative as a child in war. The real child depicted in the story certainly was enterprising in her search for food and friendly contacts who might help her family, and as a result, she saved lives.
