A View Across the Rooftops 

by Suzanne Kelman

An epic, heart-wrenching and gripping World War Two historical novel


A View Across the Rooftops: An epic, heart-wrenching and gripping World War Two historical novel Kindle Edition 


‘Heart wrenching… I really struggled to put this book down, particularly the end of the book which I sat up until 2am reading and trying hard not to wake my husband with my crying!’ Goodreads Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

1941, Nazi-occupied Amsterdam. An unforgettable story of love, hope and betrayal, and a testament to the courage of humanity in history’s darkest days.

As Nazis occupy his beloved city, Professor Josef Held feels helpless. So, when he discovers his former pupil Michael Blum is trying to escape the Gestapo, he offers Michael a place to hide in his attic.

In the quiet gloom of the secret room, Michael talks of his beautiful, fearless girlfriend, Elke. Michael insists that not even the Nazis will come between them. But Elke is a non-Jewish Dutch girl, and their relationship is strictly forbidden.

Josef sees the passionate determination in his young friend’s eyes. Furious with the rules of the cruel German soldiers and remembering his own heartbreak, Josef feels desperate to give Michael and Elke’s love a chance. But then tragedy strikes, and Josef is faced with an impossible choice.

In the dark days of war, with danger and betrayal at every turn, no-one can be trusted. If Michael is to survive and get back to the woman he loves, it will be down to Josef – to find the hero inside himself and do whatever it takes to keep Michael alive.

Even if it means putting his own life in mortal danger.

A heartbreakingly beautiful story about courage against the odds, perfect for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, All The Light We Cannot See, and The Nightingale.

FIVE WEEKS - True Story: First I had a gun in my back in London and then I was nearly left for dead in a Pennsylvania wood! Kindle Edition

This is another true story and this time set in London, Eastbourne, and America. I worked for an Estate Agent in North London and I attend a party along with my friend Steve in Islington. Then just after Steve disappears to the loo, two guys come into the kitchen where we were and dragged me across the floor punching me in the face and ripping my hair out.

A few months later I'm threatened by the same guys from the party, BUT this time with a gun in my back and told if I'm seen in the area again, they will have no hesitation in using the gun.

So, after resigning from my job, I was invited to spend Christmas in Eastbourne with my girlfriend Jenny at her parents place. We decide to stay and move to Brighton where I was offered a job as a tele-sales manager for an American portrait company, but first must take a trip to Pennsylvania for a five-week training course.

FIVE WEEKS is a story of those weeks in America and where in a remote Pennsylvania woodland, I was nearly left for dead by my cocaine addict boss and his brother!





Color of the Prism by Thomas J. Nichols

Drug Cartels rule the Arizona border. One undercover agent infiltrates the unseemly world and risks everything to destroy the violent kingpin. Will his family pay the ultimate price?  

Color of the Prism Paperback


“Color of the Prism,” a contemporary novel is based on true events in the life of the author. This realistic story reflects a blend of fact and fiction into a journey of intrigue, love, betrayal, and tragedy in this police thriller on the Arizona-Sonora border.

The story follows Tucson Police undercover agent Antonio Castenada who spearheads an investigation into the violent cartel of Reynaldo Guzman, a prominent businessman and drug kingpin.

The complexity of Castenada’s work is multiplied exponentially by the conflicts that challenge his personal and professional life as opposed to the unseemly role he plays as a cartel member. Alone in the netherworld of corruption, his decisions will impact his family life forever as he scrambles to out-maneuver Guzman and his hired assassin, Julian Espino Gatica.

“Color of the Prism” and its non-traditional ending illuminate the true world of crime and corruption unseen by most people.  Indeed, it is the last color of the prism.
