Sylvie is a girl who longs to be a woman. When her friend Betty invites her to a dance at the local airfield, where a US squadron is based, Sylvie knows she has to go, even if it means lying to her parents. Upon meeting Jack, a young American airman, life becomes even more complicated. A World War II romance, set in Norfolk, rural England. "Short and sweet story about love, innocence and loss." "An insight into a young girl's heart as she falls for a soldier. Her mind-set felt true to the era and compassion develops quickly between reader and character," (Goodreads review). "In the latter days of the Second World War, Sylvia is thrilled to be invited to the hangar dance held by the US squadron now based near her Norfolk home. Her parents are less than happy about it, so she sneaks out, determined to see the glitz and glamour of the US and escape the grind of the war years. She never plans to fall in love. ‘The Hangar Dance’ is a short and touching romance that nonetheless develops its characters and world fully in the short space of time we see them. Jack, Bradley, Mitzi and especially Sylvia, come to life on the page in this bittersweet story," (4 star press review by Bookangel).

As the war in Iraq heated up and the American soldiers were deployed overseas to take part in the conflict, the need to send care packages and calm the nerves of their families became increasingly important. One small community in America rose to this challenge. A family from the New England community of Danvers, MA, whose son and daughter were both deployed at the time, received a call on the day the US entered Iraq. Their daughter, a deployed nurse named Tina, asked her parents for their help in collecting magazines and games to give to the troops who were recovering in the combat hospital. This simple call for help began a journey that included the formation of a non-profit organization, a nation–wide appeal for supplies, contributions from across the country, a trip to Iraq to speak to the troops, care packages exceeding one million, and national recognition. This heartwarming story will tell you of the happy days, the emotional moments, the surprise visits, the tragic phone calls, and the satisfying feeling of knowing you made a difference in a soldier’s life and in a family’s fear brought on by the separation. This is the story of helping others, of sharing pain and grief, of laughing together, and of knowing when the opportunity came to do something good for your country, you stepped up and took the plunge. It is a story of patriotism, a story of giving, a story of being true Americans.

On the Wings of Angels (Book 3 of the Beyond the Blue Horizon Series), continues the saga of Otto Kerchner, the airplane-obsessed Wisconsin farm boy who becomes a hero of World War II in On Wings of the Morning (Book 1). He continued to lead his family, friends, and community into new ventures—and sometimes danger—in On the Wings of Eagles (Book 2). The latest in the series picks up in 1954 with an unlikely mix of elements: a minor league baseball team, mobsters from Minneapolis, a Soviet jet, family discord, sudden death, an aviation camp, a kidnapping, and a marauding bear. Meanwhile, the Kerchners, their friends, and their community cope with a changing world. Readers of the earlier novels have praised the easy style and realistic touches in the books which help recreate the ambiance and feel of those remembered years, including the simple pleasures of picnics, birthday parties, and pick-up baseball games. The characters are at once unique and identifiable, and their hopes, fears, and struggles still resonate today. This book is a must read among must reads for just about everyone.
