Happy Book Birthday to historical thriller author, Max Eastern! Ever since I wrote STARDUST, I've been obsessed with all things #WW2. Eastern's RED SNOW IN WINTER is at the very top of my #TBR pile. 📖🎂
RED SNOW IN WINTER, the espionage thriller I edited, goes on sale TOMORROW! Very excited. And proud to share this endorsement quote from espionage fiction author Gabriel Valjan #histfic #thriller www.amazon.com/Red-Snow-Win...
