AUTHOR NOTE ABOUT THIS BOOK
The inspiration for a new novel can come from the most unexpected places. That was certainly true for Into the Rising Dawn. I had just finished reading a book about a downed World War II pilot who was sheltered from the Germans by a married woman during the war in Belgium. The premise was rich with historical promise but as the pages turned the story drifted far from the gripping wartime narrative I had hoped for and became something altogether different and far less meaningful, degenerating into a graphic depiction of an illicit affair between the married woman and the pilot. When I closed that book I stared down at it and said to myself, I can write a better novel than this. The book I write will be an accurate and historically faithful story on the same subject of sheltering a downed pilot. It will be filled with a gripping and realistic wartime plot and will end with an unexpected twist, with the pilot becoming the woman's protector after the tragic death of her husband as the Germans are about to come for her. My novel will build toward a genuine and touching love story. The result was Into the Rising Dawn, which I am pleased to say carries a 4.9 rating from readers who felt exactly what I intended them to feel. If you have not yet read this novel I urge you to discover it for yourself. It is a story I wrote from the heart and I believe you will feel that on every page.
