Hi History Lovers,
I’m thrilled to announce, unveil, and altogether shout from the rooftops that I have a cover for my new historical novel, STARDUST and boy oh boy is she a beauty.
The sequel to IRISH EYES, STARDUST is the second book in my American Songbook series for Joffe Books and follows Rose’s granddaughter, Daisy to Paris where she apprentices with the legendary fashion designer, Coco Chanel. She soon finds herself rubbing elbows with the glitterati of Paris, notably international celebrity sensation, Josephine Baker. You can read my posts on Chanel and Baker here on Substack.
Below is a bit about the book.
Paris 1938
War is looming and 18-year-old Daisy Blakely arrives in Paris as apprentice to the renowned fashion designer Coco Chanel. Enchanted by the beauty and glamour of the City of Light, Daisy throws herself into the whirlwind of couture and culture. When she meets charming and enigmatic Jean-Claude Jacob, a Jewish doctor, an instant connection cements Daisy’s happiness.
Everything changes when the Germans march into the city. Daisy and Jean-Claude join the Resistance. But her world comes crashing down when Jean-Claude is taken by the Gestapo. Learning to live with her loss, Daisy’s life becomes one of secrets and danger as she works tirelessly to undermine the Nazi regime.
But the arrival of German soldier Fritz causes Daisy to question everything she thought she knew about life, and love, as she’s drawn to a man tied to the enemy she has vowed to defeat.
STARDUST releases on February 20th in ebook and trade paperback. Between now and then, you can preorder the STARDUST ebook at the promotional price of 99 cents.
