Expect Deception

I am an award-winning author with five published novels, with a sixth to be released in June (Expect Deception ISBN 978-1-63152-061-7), and also a senior on a pension.

To get my Author Voice heard among the millions of other authors, I want to do a publicity campaign and book tours for Expect Deception. I can’t afford these on my own. I need your help. The success of a struggling author ultimately depends upon support. I’m living on a pension. I’ll share with you what I can as rewards.

About Expect Deception

Just when U.S. WAVE Livvy Delacourt thinks she and her team of psychic Nazi hunters are ready for whatever The Reich can throw at them, Hitler adds to the mix a spy who also happens to be a wizard. Now dark magic is being used to attack U.S. facilities and Livvy must match wits with the evil wizard, whose objective is to destroy Operation Delphi and all her team. If she fails to ramp up her psychic powers, she may perish—and perhaps cause the U.S. to lose the war with Germany while she’s at it.

• This look into the world of ‘The Greatest Generation’ has the heart-warming feel of a cosy mystery with the kick of a good thriller. Christine London, Award winning author of novels with a Brit Twist

I write stories for readers who enjoy gripping suspense in authentic historical settings, with WWII spies inserted into an atmosphere of other-worldly experiences, and told in the style of an Agatha Christy cozy but at the pace of a thriller.

You can find my previous books on Amazon, Barns & Noble, Books a Million (BAM), or from an independent bookstore near you.
