About Featured Book: A Widow at War by John Anthony Miller

KINDLE SALE UNTIL 5-30-25 $0.99

SHE’S A NOVICE IN A WORLD WHERE EXPERTS DIE QUICKLY.

Normandy, 1943: Ginny Drake, tasked with evacuating Nazi collaborator Claude Duvall from France, is murdered during a London briefing. British Intelligence needs a quick replacement, someone identical in appearance and fluent in French. Janelle Wilson, a war widow born in France, accepts the assignment, sparing her identical twin. She must convince Duvall that she is Ginny Drake—or he’ll refuse to cooperate.

While Inspector Charley Abbott investigates Ginny Drake’s murder, Janelle Wilson arrives in Normandy. She partners with radio operator Adrien Picard, who not only helps her elude the Germans but proves she can love again—even after losing her husband.

After a second British operative is murdered, Inspector Abbott suspects a double agent buried in the bowels of British Intelligence. Others fear a traitor in France—prepared to betray Janelle Wilson.

Janelle forges forward. Stumbling from one disaster to the next, she’s a novice in a world where experts die quickly. But she never gives up. She only tries harder.

Adrien is the only one she can trust—until the double agent is named.

A NEW YORK LADY IN HELLDORADO by V.C. Williams

A NEW YORK LADY IN HELLDORADO by V.C. Williams

A notorious killer changed the life of a young Victorian woman. Sarah Herring, now forgotten, was the first woman to win a case in the US Supreme Court without a man’s help. But the young New York schoolteacher didn’t get there overnight. It took hard work and guts.
Arriving in Tombstone in October 1881, Sarah discovers the streets of the Territory’s richest town are not paved in silver but soaked in blood. Finding her purpose here seems crazy. Despite her mother’s schemes, it’s not marriage. But when idealistic, intelligent Sarah is enlisted by her attorney father to help Wyatt Earp, charged with murder, her perspective begins to change. The horrific news reported by Thomas Sorin, Sarah’s friend and an attractive distraction, makes national headlines while she faces threats from Wyatt’s jealous mistress and deadly outlaws. Wyatt’s shocking honesty opens her mind to her strength and passion: the law. But Thomas is a surprise. She loves him, too
Believing in Sarah and her dream, Thomas convinces her to pursue the law while he chases his mining ambitions, delaying marriage. But her father coldly refuses to tutor her, treating her request as a passing fancy. Searching out other options, she finds more closed doors and reluctantly returns to teaching. She feels lost and alone. Yet, when tragedy strikes, Sarah demonstrates that a lady of honor and charm can show the men they might have it wrong.

Godless Armageddon by Scott Coon

Godless Armageddon by Scott Coon

“Godless Armageddon” is a visionary and ambitious journey that defies traditional storytelling to deliver a profound and imaginative exploration of the afterlife. At its core, this novel is a battle for redemption, identity, and purpose. Only one that takes place in a realm where individuals exist as ethereal clouds, transforming and uniting into vibrantly colored storm-behemoths that wage cosmic warfare on one another.

Thomas Jefferson Stoneshield VII, a WW2 soldier from a long line of warriors, dies while storming the beaches of Normandy. He ascends to a peculiar afterlife and becomes embroiled in a struggle between two godlike beings, with the future of all existence at stake. Along the way, he confronts haunting echoes of his past life, his own repressed desires, and the power of unyielding faith and despair.

The novel defies convenient classification. In parts, it reminded me of “What Dreams May Come” by Richard Matheson, but more dreamlike, rendered as an acid trip. Scott Coon masterfully balances the surreal and the relatable, seamlessly switching between the gritty horrors of WW2 and abstract realms of ethereal energy. Despite its complex and fantastical premise, the plot is clear and straightforward, grounded and driven by believable characters.

Whether you approach it for its emotional depth, philosophical insights, or sheer creativity, Godless Armageddon is a tour de force. It will challenge your notions of faith, morality, and what it means to truly live — or to truly die. Coon’s ability to render this chaotic, otherworldly setting with such clarity and resonance is a testament to his skill as a storyteller.

Vatican Daughter by Joni Marie Iraci

Vatican Daughter by Joni Marie Iraci

Inspired by the 1859 kidnappings of Jewish children by Pope Pius IX, “VATICAN DAUGHTER,”(78,939 words) tells the story of JOSEPH MORRIS, the first American Pope, who as he’s about to ascend the papal throne is driven by guilt to confess an indiscretion to traditionalist CARDINAL GUILO ROSELLI. News of the pope’s affair with journalist, SOPHIA TRAVATO, and the birth of the pope’s child, unleashes a crime spree starting with the kidnapping of the baby, Nevaeh.

Twelve years pass, and Sophia, with only vague memories of her past, lives in Venice with the Benedictine nuns. In the small watery city, she’s content believing she was found nearly drowned. Her only bit of freedom is a job with famed mask-maker, LORENZO MERCURI at his small shop at the foot of the Rialto bridge. When a tourist asks Sophia to hold her baby, memories of her daughter begin to flood back. Aware of the danger of rescuing her daughter from the most powerful entity on earth, Sophia puts her trust in Lorenzo who agrees to drive her to Rome.

On the road, Sophia learns Lorenzo’s in the employ of SEVERINO POVERELLI, a Neapolitan thug hired by Cardinal Roselli to keep tabs on Sophia. Sophia escapes and finds her way to Trastevere, the bohemian section of Rome, where she once lived with her motherly, landlady, LAURETTA JENCO. MEANWHILE, Neveah is kept sequestered behind the walls of Vatican City where she’s tutored by the Bibliotheca of the Vatican Archives, CARDINAL ALFONSO ALEO. Neveah, due to her isolated upbringing, is no ordinary twelve-year-old. She’s insightful and wise beyond her years. MEANWHILE, CHRIS DEMARCO, a former colleague of Sophia’s, who initially introduced her to Morris, is in Rome to interview the pope but is mainly in search of answers regarding Sophia’s disappearance.

Pope Joseph and Cardinal Roselli are troubled by him nosing around as he’s aware of the pope’s past. Chris’ research leads him to Lauretta and ultimately to Sophia. Sophia fears the truth will not be believed, but Lauretta relates the story of past papal kidnappings. Lauretta summons her cousin, ALESSANDRO JENCO, an officer of the Ministry of the Interior, to advise Sophia. He informs Sophia the pope is above the law and cannot be convicted of a crime, but vows to find a way to help her. MEANWHILE, the pope turns a blind eye to Cardinal Roselli’s plot to eliminate all threats to the papacy and the church. He unleashes a murderous spree resulting in the death of his administrative assistant, TIM DANIELS, (who set up inner office cameras when he suspected the cardinal’s sinister plans,) the poisoning of Cardinal Aleo, and the murder of several of Alessandro’s men. Before his poisoning, Cardinal Aleo moves Nevaeh to a Zen Monastery on the cusp of Trastevere. Cardinal Aleo is hospitalized. Sophia, during an arranged incognito audience with the pope, confronts him to no avail. Sophia visits Cardinal Aleo where she is reunited with her tentative daughter.

Cardinal Roselli, fearing he will be the papal scapegoat, flees to his native South America where he succumbs to a rare spider bite. The pope believes his position is secure and there is no evidence of his wrongdoing. Chris DeMarco obtained DNA in a recent visit with the pope. He turns it over to the Vatican police before returning to his New York Office. A budding romance between Sophia and Alessandro forced him to give up his fight for her. However, a package waiting in his New York office contains a USB drive with tangible evidence of the plot against Sophia, as well as the details of the pope’s involvement. Chris sets out for Rome to expose the Vatican’s treachery and to get justice for Sophia and Nevaeh. “Vatican Daughter,” is set in Rome and Venice with a brief stop in Magallanes, Chile, and New York City. The sights, sounds, smells, and ambiance of Italy are infused within the story and serve to immerse the reader not only in the plausible, suspenseful plot but in the landscape as well. “The Women of the 13th Rione,” continues the story of Sophia and Nevaeh and is complete at 87,292 words. Both novels can stand alone.

Author Bio

I am the author and publisher of military history, historical fiction, spiritual books and memoirs. Published by Pen and Sword, my military history books include Herbert Columbine VC, Surviving the Nazi Onslaught, A Battle Too Far, From Colonial Warrior to Western Front Flyer, The Battle of Bellewaarde 1915, A History of Coalhouse Fort and A History of Women’s Lives in Scunthorpe. I worked for several years in the Military Corrective Training Centre, Colchester, the British Forces’ only military prison, culminating in a history of the establishment written in the words of those who were there, Military Detention Colchester. I also publish a series of books under the banner Real Lives. Memories in Print which is a free service to ensure our history does not get forgotten. Please see my website for more details.

To date I have written twenty six novels. Of these four are sagas, Lives Apart: A WW 2 Chronicle (5 books), Obsession (5 books), Secret Lives (6 books) and A One Way Ticket (4 books). I have also written three stand alone novels: Betrayed; Love, Resistance, Betrayal and Hunting Shadows. I also ghost write novels and biographies privately and for Story Terrace.

I decided after finishing Obsession that I needed a little break from the Second World War so perhaps I should write about the Great War instead. I also wanted to write something that offered a theory as to how we have ended up with the world we are currently living in. This was a big undertaking as it would need to be several books and I didn’t want it all to be one long series as people, quite understandably, prefer to buy a series once the whole thing is written. Nothing worse than being engrossed in a series and not knowing what happens at the end because the author didn’t get to finish it. I’m not getting any younger so I decided to err on the side of caution and write several series, that could be read as stand alone series. That way if I don’t get to the end you won’t miss out. I knew where I wanted the books to finish, so it was just a case of writing the rest! After some thought I decided to start just before the Great War and Secret Lives was born. The six book series follows the lives of several families in the UK and Europe before and during the Great War, begins in 1913 and ends in 1918. The Eagle Quartet follows on from Secret Lives and
I am currently halfway through writing the final book of the series. Dark Eagles Rising is in two parts and is set in Germany, Austria and Italy through the 1920s and 1930s and, as the blurb above says, Sleeping Eagles is set in America, Britain and Australia with Part One set in the 1920s and Part Two in the 1930s. Once this is finished the plan is to start the next series which will follow the characters through WW2. All books are available in kindle and paperback from Amazon and other internet retailers or you can borrow them from your library.
