Launching my new series: Timeless Spies

Introduction
I’m thrilled to share with you the first impressions of my upcoming new series "Timeless Spies".

Let me start with unveiling a new section on my website dedicated to the new series here. This historical fiction series promises to take you on a journey through time, linking the courageous tales of World War II's female agents of SOE Section France with the modern struggles and triumphs of contemporary women.

Series Description
"Timeless Spies" invites you to explore the phenomenal courage of the 40 female secret agents of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) French Section during World War II. Set against the backdrop of one of history's most turbulent periods, the series brings to light the daring exploits and untold stories of these extraordinary women. They were the first women soldiers, fighting mostly alone without the protection of an army and under incredible stress of being arrested by the Gestapo.

In every book a contemporary fictive woman stumbles upon the account of one of these real secret agents and can’t wait to find out more. As they explore, we go back in time with them and learn about the missions these real women undertook in the middle of German-occupied France. The eyes of contemporary protagonists are opened to the true meaning of resilience, freedom, and courage of women more than eighty years ago and the effects it has on the choices they make in their lives today.

In this dual timeline series we follow two women per book, whereby the contemporary woman takes the lead to explore the lives and missions of these Resistance heroines. As the secret agents not always returned alive, I’ll make sure a tender love story blossoms in the contemporary storyline, weaving together the universal struggles of women across generations.

A Commitment to Authenticity
As an author of Historical Fiction about WW2 Resistance Women, I am deeply committed to presenting a more diverse and accurate portrayal of history. Unlike traditional narratives that often overlook the contributions of women and minorities, this series will shine a spotlight on the remarkable feats of these unsung heroines. And my fictional contemporary women will be from all walks of life, exploring their own historical roots.

While "Timeless Spies" remains grounded in historical events, it is essential to remember it is a work of fiction. I have taken liberties with historical details to craft a compelling narrative, but every effort has been made to honor the bravery and sacrifice of these female agents authentically.

Honoring the Fallen
It's important to acknowledge the sacrifices made by these courageous women, including the 15 who did not return home, having perished in German captivity under horrific circumstances. While their deaths will not be depicted in detail within the books, resources will be provided for readers who wish to further explore their stories.

I Hope You Will Like this New Series
Through the pages of "Timeless Spies," you are invited to escape on a thrilling adventure through 20th-century history, where female courage knows no bounds, and the legacy of these agents will shine forever more.

Timeless Spies promises to be an adventure of espionage, spunk, significant others, and sacrifice. Preorder your copies today and prepare to be transported to a world where heroines are forged, and history is rewritten.

As many fictional and non-fiction books have been written about some of these heroines who have become famous, like Virginia Hall, Nancy Wake, Noor Inayat Khan and Violette Szabo, I have chosen to write the first books about lesser known but equally brave agents.
