"My secret favorite movies were the cool ones, the New Wave French. I wanted to be Anna Karina. I bobbed my hair and imagined I was Jean-Luc Godard's muse. I watched each episode of Vivre sa Vie at least a dozen times and memorized all the lines."
—Red Hands

A new Goodreads review for @ColinWSargent's Red Hands:
'This novel is so many things—page-turner, history lesson, love story, thriller, and intimate view of family ties, power, and greed. Highly recommended.'
Yo! Thanks Ellen.

"Well, this is weird," I said. "What's up?"
"Do you know anything about the Ceausescus?" Catalin asked.
"The dictators? Nothing beyond what I've seen on CNN."
"Perfect. There's someone I'd like you to meet."

Red Hands is now Indexed in the collection of the National Library of Romania. Glad to know that Iordana's voice is being heard around the world!

"Neptune, on the Black Sea, was made out of nothing. Everything smelled brand new. There were half-finished hotels, red-tile-roofed villas, wonderfully built terraces...Our comrade architects had been given, for once, a free hand."
From Red Hands

[Colin W. Sargent @ColinWSargent]

"Before it was all over, Romanians everywhere sought answers frantically in coffee cups, tea leaves, tarot cards, even kernels of corn tossed furtively behind their desks...They never discussed events or names, but everybody knew what it was all about."
-Excerpt from Red Hands.

Tonight at 5PM!

[Barbican Press @BarbicanPress1]

Here's a weekend treat: @ColinWSargent, author of RED HANDS, does a Q&A with Tomislav Longinovic.

They discuss communist regimes and the nature of power, with reference to Iordana Ceausescu and her story.

Regardless of how extraordinary the tale is, Red Hands is a nonfiction novel; a product of hundreds of hours of interviews.

[Colin W. Sargent @ColinWSargent]

Looking forward to the Publication Reading and Celebration for Red Hands at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, at 5 p.m. on March 29th in Washington Hall. See you there!

"Dance Me to the End of Love" brings the star-crossed lovers Iordana and Valentin together, and it tears them apart. https://t.co/W76RGjZBNe

While writing my new novel Red Hands, a song took over everything. Iordana's song. It started to drive everything in the story.
Leonard Cohen's "Dance Me to the End of Love" is spooky, sexy, romantic, and doomed. It rides a knife's edge like an incantation.

[Colin W. Sargent @ColinWSargent]

One of my favorite passages from Red Hands.

Check out this new Goodreads review of RED HANDS by screenwriter Brian Daly:

"A novel truer than any nonfiction history of what happened when Nicolae Ceausescu grabbed control of Romania and drove the country off a cliff."
