Summer time and the eightieth anniversary of D Day. I visited the veterans cemetery above Omaha Beach some years ago. The rows of gleaming crosses brought tears and I could barely speak. Those soldiers were so young, not much older than my grandchildren. Besides writing the Coronation Close series and the Orchard Cottage Hospital series, two other books will be published in August that refer back to the Second World War. The first begins in Hong Kong around Christmas time 1941. Pearl Harbour had been attacked in early December. Now it was the turn of Hong Kong and then Singapore. My heroine in this is a doctor who got caught up in the horror of the Christmas Day massacre at a Hong Kong hospital. Doctor of Kowloon. The second of these two is Escape from Kowloon. Her fear for a man obsessed with possessing her in body and mind forces her into another war - this time in Korea. Why do I write about war? Because I recall those of the war generation who were relatives and neighbours of my mother's generation. I'm handing the stories on - perhaps in the hope that such horror never happens again. I was impressed by the stoical women of that time. Somehow, despite the shortages and the fear, they carried on. Not so much keep calm and carry on for its own sake or for governments or general - but for the sake of their families and their hope for the future. The fourth Coronation Close book comes out next April and it's 1941 and the world is at war. The next book of the Orchard Cottage Hospital series, Family Affairs at the Orchard Cottage Hospital comes out in October. This series is set in the interwar years but nearly a million men had died during the previous war, The Great War which was meant to end all wars but didn't. Oh, and before I receive criticism for my spelling of Harbour and neighbours, I am English so English spellings prevail.
