Pre-Order: Enemy At the Gate
The first book in the Resistance in the Shadows Series is called “Enemy At The Gate” – Book 1 will focus on the first year of the Italian and German occupation of Greece starting in 1941. Eneny at the Gate was previously published as a novella in the USA Today Bestselling anthology “The Darkest Hour”. The novella has been turned into a novel and will be released December 1, 2019.
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. With the help of her beloved cousin, Elisavet, Zoe is recruited into the Bouboulina Resistance group in a clandestine operation to rescue Jews from certain death. For Zoe, there is no turning back, because what’s left is either freedom or death.
The Darkest Hour Hit The USA Today Bestseller List…
This is one of those surreal moments in life that is so mind boggling, I just stare at the page of the USA Today Bestseller List and see my name in the top 100 (#67 to be exact). Yup that’s my name on there along with my fellow authors of The Darkest Hour.
Thanks for including me is this magnificent anthology that goes to my heart: World War II resistance. The novella “Enemy at the Gate” pushed me in ways I never imagined. It’s the first story I’ve actually written in first person POV. Normally I write in 3rd person POV but Enemy at the Gate was different. It was told through the eyes of a thirteen year old Zoe Lambros. I had to go back to In The Blood of the Greeks and discover the thirteen year old Zoe; she has come a long way since 1941 but slipping into her mindset in that period of time was fascinating and challenging.
It was a huge thrill for me to be a part of this anthology with such incredible WW2 fiction authors. So thank you to everyone who bought The Darkest Hour!
I will be releasing Enemy At The Gate as a standalone novel towards the end of the year with additional material I could add in the novella due to length limitations. Watch for more info about that on the Enemy At The Gate book page
