My novel Secrets in the Shadows is now available as an e-book. Best friends Michael and Wolfie grow up in Nazi Germany, drawn into the Hitler Youth and sent to fight a doomed war. A story of indoctrination and how children are taught to hate.

While the World Waits: Tip 7
A story comes alive when the reader senses what the protagonist longs for, sometimes consciously, sometimes not. Reveal the protagonist’s wants early, and place obstacles in front of them. Make them struggle, internally or externally. What will they risk? #write #canada

While the World Waits – Tip 6
Tension keeps readers hooked. It doesn’t have to be loud, a glance, a lie, a shift in power is enough. Even quiet scenes need friction: something unsaid, at stake, or about to shift. Without tension, scenes go flat. #WritingTip #Stories #WritersLife #LiteraryFiction

While the World Waits. Tip 5
Struggling with a character? Ask: what do they want most, or value most? Then take it away. Their drive to get it back—or find retribution—will carry the story. Keep throwing in obstacles as they walk the pages. They’ll change along the way.

A memory. A feeling. A single image.
Skip the intro if it’s not coming. Write the part that wants to be written. You can always fill in the gaps later.

When foreign nationals are forced to register or face arrest and deportation, pay attention. These policies create databases ripe for abuse. Nazi Germany began with laws like these—bureaucratic, legal, and quiet. History doesn’t repeat. But it often rhymes.
