How is it that one nation has suffered so much? Rich and fertile ground for story-telling, where Yuejin – Aim High! is a story well told - Mary Parks, author
Dramatic and troubling – Lucas Burns, author
Life for Chinese farmer Chen Zhu is based around the seasons of planting and harvesting rice. Then the Great Leap Forward is launched by Chairman Mao. Their village becomes a commune. Their children are taken away. They're forced to farm in ways that are counter-productive. Then Zhu is sent to a steelworks in the city while his wife, like many wives, takes on the burden of feeding their nation while everything around them is falling to pieces.
Expatriate Chinese and former spy, Lin Chao, is asked to return to her homeland; to investigate a possible large-scale famine. What Chao sees is so bad she can't bring herself to merely report what she's observed. Instead she attempts to slow the pace of the Great Leap Forward. This brings Chao face to face with the leadership of the People's Republic of China while putting her life in terrible peril.

Writing a novel didn't cross my mind until relatively recently, when I went to the local library and couldn't find a book that interested me. That led me consider a new pastime. Write a book. That book may never be published, but I felt my follow-up cross-cultural crime with romance hybrid set in Russia had more potential. So much so that I wrote a sequel that took those characters on a journey to a very dark place.Once those books were published and garnered good reviews I wrote in a very different place and time, and my two novels set in Victorian Britain and published in July and August of 2014. I followed those up with various novels set in various places at various times, with the most recent being a story set in the Syrian Civil War.
