With awards on my walls for novels and non-fiction I've written, the best rewards for my life-long career as a writer continue to be the lovely notes I receive from happy readers. Gleeful to get each one, I challenge myself constantly to write books that thrill my heart. Now as we commemorate the Centennial of WWI, I debut my newest novel, HEROIC MEASURES. In 1917, more than 10,000 American women volunteered to join the Army Nurse Corps to travel thousands of miles to a country they did they know to heal thousands of wounded Doughboys. HEROIC MEASURES is the story of one group of nurses, their valor, their dedication and their sacrifices. Reviews of HEROIC MEASURES have been sterling. Here is a sample. JOINT FORCES JOURNAL praises the novel for its "riveting and historically accurate portrayal" of life in the battlefields. PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY reviewer says HEROIC MEASURES depicts "...the characters...and plot vividly. I was enthralled." NURSES.com declared the novel "a worthy portrait of nursing life...in battle and in early 20th century." Please read my blog about these valiant women, the physical and emotional challenges they endured and the thousands of lives they saved amid the most frightening conditions.
