Oh have a look at this baby. I’m currently writing a novella called “Enemy at the Gate” which centers on Zoe’s first introduction to the Greek Resistance and a decisive battle that created the Greek Resistance into mighty force. This is JUST before SS Major Hans Muller and his daughter Eva are assigned to Larissa (and where In the Blood of the Greeks novel begins)
It’s 1941 and the shadow of tyranny has laid claim to Zoe Lambros’ Greek homeland. The only way to freedom
is to resist. Zoe is a determined thirteen-year-old who wishes to join in the fight to free Greece from occupation, and she gets that chance when she joins the Greek Liberation Army in a clandestine operation that sets in motion an explosive confrontation between the occupying Italians and the birth of the mighty Greek Resistance. For Zoe, there is no turning back, because what’s left is either freedom or death.
It’s part of a multi-author World War 2 Resistance Anthology called “The Darkest Hour”. I did a little graphic for my end of the storytelling.
Combine a fiery teenager and a cantankerous octogenarian and stir to produce an unlikely friendship for the ages.
Zoe Lambros meets Mabel Andrews, a mercurial, cantankerous World War I Australian nurse. Zoe’s introduction to the fiery octogenarian is an explosive mix of sound and fury. Neither woman wants to give ground and they are determined to be proven right. For Zoe, actions speak louder than words and Mabel finds a kindred spirit that leads to an unlikely friendship. Together the two women forge a close bond that will change their lives forever.
Timeframe: 1948 (Between Where Shadows Linger and Hidden Truths – Standalone novel in the Eva and Zoe series. You do not have to read the previous novels prior to this novel)
A MOMENT IN TIME
By: Ryan Armstrong, Mary D. Brooks, M.L. Gardner and Amanda Page
Genre: Historical Fiction, Urban Fantasy
Time: 1917
Place: Athens, Greece
Crossroads is the first short featuring Stella and Tessa, the characters that first appeared in my Intertwined Souls Series (Starting with Book 3: Hidden Truths).
It’s the summer of 1917 in Athens, Greece, and while the city swelters, the patients of St Gregori’s Home for the Infirm have never seen anyone like Doctor Stella Nikas–a joyous personality that defies the abject sorrow of her surroundings and brings an explosion of color and light into the patients’ lives. Tessa Mitsos, a gifted artist plagued with strange dreams of the future, is also at St Gregori’s and her only hope of stopping the visions is a radical surgery.
Stella makes a decision that will forever change not only her life, but that of Tessa Mitsos as well – beyond St Gregori’s Gates.
Zoe Lambros meets Mabel Andrews, a mercurial, cantankerous World War I Australian nurse. Zoe’s introduction to the fiery octogenarian is an explosive mix of sound and fury. Neither woman wants to give ground and they are determined to be proven right. For Zoe, actions speak louder than words and Mabel finds a kindred spirit that leads to an unlikely friendship. Together the two women forge a close bond that will change their lives forever. It’s a friendship for the ages.
So many nurses wanted to serve in #WWI that the Army could not take them all, and many volunteered with the Red Cross or British services. We may never know how many women served in this way, but they are not forgotten.
More than 100 locals from the small town of Devenish in northern #Victoria raised $20,000 to fund a striking 20-metre-high war #mural on disused grain silos
The mural, which took artist Cam Scale 11 days to paint, was finished just before #AnzacDay and depicts two women 100 years apart – a WWI nurse and a modern-day army medic.
Today is ANZAC Day 25 April 2018. ANZAC Day – the day we commemorate the sacrifice and service men and women have given in all theatres of war. We remember their service, we thank them for their sacrifice and we honor them. War should never be the answer but in times of need, men and women offered themselves in service to their country. #LestWeForget
“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.”
