I’m quite pleased to announce that Zoe’s Journal: Displaced In The Land of Pharoahs will be the second book in Zoe’s Journal series to be published by AUSXIP Publishing. Date to be announced.
This is Zoe’s Journal from the moment they leave Greece and their journey to Egypt. It’s in 1945 and Eva, Zoe and Henry leave Larissa to take the perilous journey to Crete where the Allies have their command and through Turkey to reach Egypt. In Egypt they find that refugees are streaming into the country to escape the war. This is a story of strength, courage and the will to survive as Zoe recounts the people they meet and the hardships they endure in their search for safety and passage to Australia.
So stayed tuned for more news about this new series. I’m hoping to bridge the gaps between 1944 to 1947.

I’m quite pleased to announce that Zoe’s Journal: Surviving The Peace is the next book to be published by AUSXIP Publishing. Date to be announced.
This is Zoe’s Journal from the moment Larissa was liberated by the British in 1944 to the time Eva, Zoe and Henry left Larissa and headed to Egypt. It was a difficult and dangerous journey. The war on the mainland was over but the Islands were still occupied by the Germans until 1945.
Surviving the Peace would be the first book I’ve written in first person – Zoe’s voice – and it’s a departure from my normal writing style. Do you all like the cover?
So stayed tuned for more news about this new series. I’m hoping to bridge the gaps. between 1944 to 1947.

WALKING WITH ANGELS SERIES
BY MARY D. BROOKS
Coming Soon – 2016
Walking With Angels – a journey of loss, discovery of hope, love and finding angels where you least expect them.
Walking With Angels is a series based on the characters of Dr Stella Nikas-Lambros and Theresa “Tessa” Mitsos. It’s a historical lesbian romance set during the early 20th Century (1917+) with supernatural/paranormal elements.
The characters first appeared in the Intertwined Souls Series third novel Hidden Truths.
Dr Stella Nikas-Lambros has spent the last two years mourning the death of her beloved husband Timothy on the battlefields of France. The war is still raging and Stella wants to continue the work her husband started with shell shocked soldiers and the mentally ill. She begins her internship at the Saint Gregori’s Insane Asylum in Athens where being a woman has it’s own challenges in a male dominated world.
Conservative is not how you would describe Stella Nikas-Lambros– outrageous in dress and demeanor. She’s a shock to both doctors and patients alike. She’s a breath of fresh air in the wards filled with despair.
Theresa “Tessa” Mitsos is a young woman who is confined to the insane asylum, at her own request. She’s not insane and she’s not demon possessed as many believe. Tessa can see visions of the future; visions that haunt the young woman of things yet to come. Wanting to find a cure for her mental illness, Tessa is prepared to do everything she can to achieve that goal. She doesn’t want to see the future, she doesn’t want to move objects with her mind. She wants to be a normal girl; fall in love, have children and lead an ordinary life. We don’t always get what we want and for Tessa Mitsos, there is nothing ordinary about her.
Against policy of not befriending the patients, Stella reaches out to Tessa and a friendship is born. A friendship that leads to more than they imagined. Together they work towards finding the reason for Tessa’s extraordinary paranormal powers.
It’s a journey of loss, discovery, love and finding angels where you least expect them.
