  This WWII espionage biography brings "one of America's greatest spies back to life" in a "story of derring-do and white knuckles suspense" (Patrick O'Donnell, author of Operatives, Spies, and Saboteurs) 
  Virginia Hall left her comfortable Baltimore roots in 1931 with dreams of becoming a Foreign Service Officer, but her gender—and her wooden leg—kept her from pursuing politics. As Hitler advanced across Europe, she put her gift for languages to use with the British Special Operations Executive, a secret espionage organization. She was soon deployed to occupied France, where she located drop zones, helped prisoners of war flee to England, and secured safe houses for agents. 
  Soon, wanted posters appeared throughout France, offering a reward for Hall's capture. By 1942, Hall had to flee France via the only route possible: an arduous hike on foot through the frozen Pyrénées Mountains. Upon her return to England, the American espionage organization, the Office of Special Services, recruited her and sent her back to France disguised as an old peasant woman. While there, she was responsible for killing 150 German soldiers and capturing 500 others. Sabotaging communications and directing resistance activities, her brave work helped change the course of the war.

  Before Sarah Styf turned eighteen, she was moved across the country four times, living in five states in four different time zones before she left her parents' home in Michigan for four years of college in Nebraska. As an adult, she and her husband started their family in Indiana, then chose to spend six years in Southeast Texas, before a significant life-changing event sent them back to the Midwest. There have been two constants throughout Sarah's life: faith and change. 
    
  One of the ways she coped with change over the years was writing. After nearly a decade of blogging, Sarah noticed a common theme throughout her writing: life is a series of unexpected events, a blind journey through the challenges of being a human, raising children, maintaining a career, and getting older. In her first book, she processes her own journey of leaning into the unexpected and learning how to build a home when everything blows up in your face.

  Edgar Allan Poe

  Edgar Poe was born in Boston Massachusetts on 19th January 1809. His father abandoned his family the following year and within a year his mother had died leaving him an orphan.   
  He was taken in by the Allan family but never formally adopted although he now referred to himself as Edgar Allan Poe.  His father alternatively spoiled or chastised him and tension was frequent over gambling debts and monies for his education.  His university years to study ancient and modern languages was cut short by lack of money and he enlisted as a private in the army claiming he was 22, it is more probable he was 18. After 2 years he obtained a discharge in order to take up an appointment at the military academy, West Point, where he failed to become an officer. 
  Poe had released his 1st poetry volume in 1827 and after his 3rd turned to prose and placing short stories in several magazines and journals.  At age 26 he obtained a licence to marry his cousin.  She was a mere 13 but they stayed together until her death from tuberculosis 11 years after. 
  In January 1845 ‘The Raven’ was published and became an instant classic.  Thereafter followed the prose works for which he is now so rightly famed as a master of the mysterious and the macabre. 
  Edgar Allan Poe died at the tragically early age of 40 on 7th October 1849 in Baltimore, Maryland. Newspapers at the time reported Poe's death as ‘congestion of the brain’ or ‘cerebral inflammation’, common euphemisms for death from disreputable causes such as alcoholism but the actual cause of death remains a mystery.

  Royal Tragedy Revisited -...

  The princess’s life was often depicted as the epitome of grace, beauty, and elegance—a life that many admired and envied. However, this public image was a carefully constructed facade, a persona meticulously curated by the royal family, the media, and society at large. On the surface, she was the picture of royal perfection, embodying the ideals of a fairytale life. Her beauty was celebrated, her marriage deemed a fairy tale, and her charitable works held up as the epitome of selflessness. She was portrayed as the perfect princess, a symbol of hope and positivity. 
  Yet beneath this seemingly flawless exterior, there was much more than met the eye. The princess’s early life was not as picture-perfect as many would have liked to believe. Raised within the confines of an institution that placed duty above all else, she was groomed to be a public figure from a young age. However, the pressure to maintain a flawless image often conflicted with her own personal desires and struggles. Growing up under the weight of royal expectations, she was never truly allowed the freedom to be herself. Her every move was scrutinized, and her decisions often made with the fear of disappointing those around her. 
  As she entered adulthood, the weight of public adoration and media attention only intensified. The princess was constantly under the microscope, her life a matter of public interest. Every wardrobe choice, every relationship, and every gesture was analyzed and dissected by the media. Her image became a commodity, one that was shaped not just by herself, but by those who profited from her persona. She became a symbol not just of royalty, but of the ideal woman—a figure to be admired, imitated, and adored.
