If you want to know more about me, please take a look at or email me at or even just send a Goodreads message. I live in Hampshire in the UK, and I love to hear from readers. I have also written a few gritty thrillers: Never Be Safe (a novel), Slow Burning Lies (a novel), and Bad and Badder (5 short stories) under the pen name Ray Backley, and also a few silly (and, I guess, very British) comedies as Ray Fripp, most notably I, Smith (co-written with Harry Dewulf) and Easy Money. Matchbox Memories is a gentle comic drama, and Tales of Loss and Guilt is a diverse collection of early works short stories, which is a pretty representative mix of what I like to write. Set in Norway during the German occupation, this is a story of how the Lebensborn program left an equally serious legacy for many ordinary people.Īn Ocean Between Us is a Historical Romance set in the Republic of Ireland during WWII, and was released under the pen name Rachel Quinn. Then came a sideways step in the shape of Under Darkening Skies. The three 'Holocaust Echoes' novels: The Sugar Men, Rosa's Gold and Beyond the Shadow of Night depict the long lasting effects of the Holocaust. My latest release is Three Tales from Vienna, an epic story spanning a century and three generations of an ordinary Viennese family as seen through the eyes of three sisters. I've written stories in a few different genres, but my historical novels are the most successful to date. When the darkest of secrets can no longer be kept hidden, can their friendship survive the final reckoning? Many years later, their paths cross once more, and each man must confront the legacy of his actions. The inhuman horrors they witness cast long shadows. There, both men must obey orders, and both find their morals compromised and their souls tortured.
But worse follows in the shape of the Treblinka death camp.
Although Asher finds love in Warsaw, the city is far from the haven his family sought meanwhile Mykhail becomes a victim of the bitter struggle for Ukraine. But after Asher’s family flees to Warsaw, their worlds are torn to shreds by the Second World War. Mykhail and Asher grow up inseparable, together finding friendship, adventure and escape from the harshness of Russian rule. On a small farm, two boys are born within days of each other, both Ukrainian, one Jewish.
In this epic tale of friendship and loss from the author of The Sugar Men, fate pushes childhood friends to opposite sides of a terrible war-but is forgiveness always possible? Ukraine, 1923.
