Revisiting the Great War

Growing up with a fascination for World War I and the Jazz Age, I’ve spent countless hours researching histories and biographies, diaries, letters, and old newspaper clippings from the 1910s and 20s. I especially enjoy modernist literature. This love inspired me to write mysteries that combine rich historical detail with suspenseful storytelling.

When I’m not writing, I spend time traveling and researching areas affected by the Great War. I live in the U.S. with an ever-supportive mixed breed dog.

In Broken Faces, the backdrop of post-World War I London highlights the lingering shadows of a conflict that remains underrepresented in American narratives. By setting the story in this often-overlooked historical context, the novel delves into the personal and societal struggles of soldiers like Major Eric Grey, whose battles with trauma and the disappearances of fellow soldiers echo the broader themes of memory, healing, and resilience. This setting not only enriches the mystery but also brings attention to the profound yet frequently forgotten impacts of the Great War on individuals and communities.
