Lucy’s reading corner (bring coffee) asked Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch:

was there a reason you didn't make it obvious what order "Making Bombs For Hitler", ""The War Below", "Stolen Child", Etc. went? I'm having a difficult time figuring out which ones to read first. I decided on " Making Bombs for Hitler", But now seeing that " Stolen Child' should be read first. Is there a certain order you recommend? Thanks! I really am Enjoying "Making Bombs for Hitler!"

Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch Hi Lucy,
Thank you for this very excellent question. Yes, because the novels can be read in any order. They're each written as stand-alone stories. If you wanted to read them in the order that I wrote them, that would be Stolen Girl, Making Bombs for Hitler, then The War Below, but that wasn't the order they were published in the US.
I wrote them each as self-contained and linked for a few reasons. First, even though my brain works in trilogies, I always think that the book I'm writing at the moment is the end of that story. Another reason is because I HATE novel series that have to be read in a particular order for them to make sense. Reading should be more fun than that.
