I’m not crazy about using well-known public figures in novels, but since Caroline Ferriday and Wallis Simpson knew each other I had to include her, especially since an important scene revolves around a true incident with Wallis. Have to say it was fun bringing her to life–such an interesting person.

Such a thoughtful gift.

Totally enjoyed your presentation in Dallas on Monday. You talked about how Ravensbruck changed you. Have you read “The Hiding Place” by Corrie Ten Boom? She was also a prisoner at Ravensbruck. Some of the many things that book taught me to appreciate were hot water, soap, clean sheets and towels, etc. How much I take for granted!
Looking forward to your next book.
So glad you enjoyed the talk in Dallas,Madeline.And yes, I loved The Hiding Place!
