The Color of Courage

The Color of Courage, the first book in the dual-timeline series Timeless Spies, is a vivid tale of courage, passion, and the spunky spirit of rebels, both past and present.

In the bustling streets of Marseille, Sil Anderson, a graffiti artist from Bristol, seeks artistic liberation and an escape from her past. Intrigue and inspiration await her as she stumbles upon a hidden trove of wartime secrets in the apartment she rents. It once belonged to Lise de Baissac, a forgotten heroine of World War II.

 Sil's rebellious spirit finds its match in the fiery letters and diary entries Lise wrote to her lover more than eighty years ago. While she immerses herself in Lise’s world of secret agents and secret love, Sil continues to channel her own passion into graffiti art, challenging the norms of society.

 When Sil crosses paths with Justin Bellamare, it is irritation at first sight. The French historian has his bespectacled eyes firmly focused on the male resistance heroes of WWII. Their clash of perspectives sets the stage for a passionate debate between academic tradition and contemporary urban rebellion. Yet, opposites attract and Sil needs Justin’s knowledge and network to unravel Lise’s story. And Justin needs to loosen up.

“The Color of Courage” will transport you to a world where art, history, and the human drive to challenge the status quo collide. As you travel down this captivating dual timeline from the 21st century to the 1940s, prepare to be inspired and eager for Book 2 in the series, “The Echo of Valor”.
