Join me in Christmas City USA, Bethlehem PA December 11th


I look forward to this signing every year. We love Bethlehem- what a charming city. And, at Christmas time there are few cities as festive. The Moravian Book Shop is the oldest in the country- and has a great following of book lovers.


Join us, and meet my daughter Bahia, on Saturday December 11th from 1-3 PM.


We don't need to tell you what a great gift this book or audio book makes for your history buffs, military supporters, or anyone who just loves a great story of inspiration and compassion.


Happy holidays everyone. We'll see you in Bethlehem.

We're in Popular Communications Magazine!


Thank you Gerry Dexter and Edith Lennon! I am so honored to have a review in the November issue of Popular Communications Magazine.


Gerry turned a simple review into an thoughtful and educational 2-page read. He did his homework and highlighted a few things I didn't know about shortwave listening during WWII (namely Arthur Cushen).


Our book, World War II Radio Heroes: Letters of Compassion, salutes the men, women and children who were shortwave listeners and who took their time and spent their money helping POW families like mine during WWII. To be accepted and embraced by shortwave listeners today, in their top magazine, means the world to me. Thank you.
