CosyFinding Clara, my novel of postwar Germany, has officially launched in all formats in the UK! So so proud readers will finally get to read about the secrets and lies in the ruins of Essen. North American readers have to wait a bit longer, until April 7.

If you want to know more about me and the book, check out my official author website. Thank you!

It’s natural to feel dismay at scenes of devastation, but what about hope? Cologne was about 75% destroyed in WW2, yet it’s still here, still wearing silly costumes at Karnival time, and telling really bad jokes to bad music. The amazing Cologne Dom still pierces the clouds. As bad as the world’s conflicts are, there’s always hope — to rebuild, and go on living.

Here was Cologne on April 24, 1945, view taken by the US Department of Defense (now public domain).
