James Tucker

James Tucker is the author of THE PARIS ESCAPE, as well as two acclaimed mysteries: THE HOLDOUTS and NEXT OF KIN, an Amazon Crime Fiction Bestseller and recipient of a Publishers Weekly Starred Review.

In 1944, a fighter plane flown by James’s grandfather was shot down over France, landing in a farmer’s field near Châteaudun. In 2002, the author visited that field, along with the man and woman who saw the crash. On that warm afternoon nearly sixty years after his grandfather’s death, James found pieces of the plane still in the field. For him, France, sacrifice, and freedom have always rhymed.

James grew up near Minneapolis, attending Carleton College and the University of Minnesota Law School. Formerly a lawyer, he’s an executive at a Fortun

I've written stories in a few different genres, but my historical novels are the most successful to date.

My latest release is Three Tales from Vienna , an epic story spanning a century and three generations of an ordinary Viennese family as seen through the eyes of three sisters.

The three 'Holocaust Echoes' novels: The Sugar Men , Rosa's Gold and Beyond the Shadow of Night depict the long lasting effects of the Holocaust.

Then came a sideways step in the shape of Under Darkening Skies . Set in Norway during the German occupation, this is a story of how the Lebensborn program left an equally serious legacy for many ordinary people.

An Ocean Between Us is a Historical Romance set in the Republic of Ireland during WWII, and

Eoin Dempsey

Eoin Dempsey was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1977. He grew up in the beautiful Dublin suburb of Dalkey, where he and his friends would jump into the icy waters of the Irish Sea (during summertime) to prove their manliness. Eoin had a fantastic time attending Blackrock College, where he played rugby (poorly) and did his best to coast his way through. Eoin’s first ambition was to play rugby for Ireland. Due to a lack of talent, he soon abandoned that goal for the more reasoned path of the rock star. He played in bands through his teens and well into his twenties before harsh reality came calling, and his dreams of being the next Keith Moon faded.

Gosia Nealon

While Gosia Nealon is a proud New Yorker, she was born and raised in Poland. Her journey to the Big Apple revealed a wealth of cultural differences, but also the values that connect us all. Like the fierce desire to protect family, find love, and ultimately, discover who we are and why we’re here.

Gosia’s award-winning short stories have always delved into life’s biggest questions, but it was the drama, sacrifice, and tragedy of WWII that led her to pen her debut novel, "The Last Sketch."
Growing up in Poland, Gosia heard many firsthand accounts of the war, told from a perspective rarely captured in mainstream literature. She was compelled to breathe life into Wanda and Finn, two young people falling in love in the midst of the most terrif

J.C. Jarvis

J.C.Jarvis grew up in Derbyshire, England, and from a very early age was always fascinated with history. As a teenager, he could always be found with his head buried in a book on WW2 or the Tudors. Far and away his favourite subject at school was history.

Most of his adult career after leaving the British Army was spent in the I.T field, but J.C always harbored ambitions of writing a book. He finally fulfilled his dream when he self-published 4 non-fiction books, and from that moment he was hooked.

He carried the basic premise of the John Howard story in his head for decades. Finally, he plucked up the courage to write it all down.
