I am an author interested in crafting historical fiction and restructuring classic children's stories. I have a particular interest in modern history (mid-20th-century). As an educator, I am only too aware of the lack of knowledge and understanding of the significance of this time period to our present day. The post-war period that led to the Cold War era, East/West detente, and then what some would describe as the second Cold War. My objective is to craft detailed and engaging narratives that bring past eras to life. I believe that my books are perfect for history enthusiasts and educators alike. My work combines careful research with compelling fictional storytelling to ensure both accuracy and engagement.
As an independent publishing author, I welcome ideas, recommendations, and helpful marketing advice.
In my blog, I detail my journey through this writing and publishing process and share some of the secrets I have discovered along the way.
Hopefully, my learning curve can help other self-publishing authors avoid some of the more common pitfalls.
Behind the Iron Curtain, the Cold War rages. Humans are trafficked into forced labour; many are guilty of nothing. The story documents the quiet courage of those who endured systems designed to erase them. This system of punishment is still in practice today, as the ideology remains stubbornly rooted in the past.
Book two of the 3-book series ‘The Disappeared’ is coming soon. The story continues after the daring escape. ’Lutz Schmidt In Search of Redemption’ documents the next chapter in the lives of the victims, their jailers and the evil gangs who stole them from their loved ones.
