Good news! The historical thriller I edited, RED SNOW IN WINTER, written by @MaxeasternNYC, has won the 2025 Christie Award for Best Historical Thiller or Mystery from the Historical Fiction Company. Set in the final weeks of #WWII, a young American intelligence officer is caught in a web of deceit. Lieutenant Julius Orlinsky, a veteran of clandestine operations in Prague, is thrust back into the field when a seemingly routine assignment leads to murder and attempted murder.

RED SNOW IN WINTER, now on sale, earned this review from #Espionage author Gabriel Valjan: "As morally charged as Le Carré, as immersive as Furst, and as dangerous as Kerr—Red Snow in Winter delivers a taut spy thriller." https://t.co/MW90UsZsRm #thrillerbooks#WWII

Washington, DC in wartime: It went from being a "dull Southern town" to "one of the most crowded, lively, nervous, and electric cities on the globe." In this guest post, I share why it also makes for an ideal setting for a historical thriller #WWII

I don’t recall the bishops making any sort of video like this to condemn the Biden White House for supporting, funding, and facilitating the mass slaughter of children in the womb. I also can’t remember seeing any video with solemn condemnations of the Biden White House and its support for the castration and sexual mutilation of children. That’s in spite of the fact that Biden is actually “Catholic” and he was actively engaged in activities that are explicitly condemned as mortally sinful by the Church. Trump is neither Catholic nor is he doing anything, policy wise, that contradicts Church teaching. Deportations certainly do not. And yet the bishops suddenly find their voice and their courage for this issue. Very strange indeed.
"A tense and dark WWII spy thriller"--the reviews are coming in on Netgalley for RED SNOW IN WINTER, set in Washington, DC in the final weeks of the war. written by @MaxeasternNYC https://t.co/zY0s4QwzxY

In 'The Orchid Hour,' my main character, Zia, lives with her Neapolitan in-laws above a cheese shop they own in Little Italy in 1923. I based it on a real place, Alleva Dairy, open for 130 years in New York City but sadly closed this year. #writerlife https://t.co/cn7zgmaI6X
