A sad Chopin waltz
You will dance with it to love, war & memory
He is a man you can easily fall in love with! But he has forever closed off his heart to romance! He finds solace only in music. Winter can't help but wonder why he's so eager to teach her to dance. But she recognises her good fortune. When she recounts
his story, she is overcome with emotion and longs for the kind of bond they once shared.
Inspired by the WW2 Paris Romance WINTER PALE, this Historical Fiction short story delves deeper into the personality of Louis, the pianist of 'The Golden Doe', a romantic, an idealist, and, above all, a sensitive soul . It will leave you feeling inspired and moved by its aesthetic allusions, music, dance, and abundance of emotion, while also leaving you with subtle concerns about important issues in human history and society that can be answered only by your individual perspective.
Ideal for fans of the ambiance and setting of The War in our Hearts, Promise at Dawn, and At Swim, Two Boys, it can be read on its own or as a companion to the historical romantic adventure of Winter Pale.

Letter from a failed assassin
A short story of resistance and love
"Standing right next to him, I caught a glimpse of his feverish stare upon your face and felt the heat radiating from his fingers as they brushed your cheek; I knew at that moment trouble was brewing."
There is genuine camaraderie and confidence between Oberstleutnant von H. and SS Major Friedrich von Stielen, who runs the Intelligence Service in occupied Paris. The Oberstleuntant himself, however, is a member of High Command with a secret mission and a duty that cannot be discussed with anybody outside the inner circle. Because of this, he is faced with an impossible choice: he must convince his friend either to act against his heart's desire or be willing to put the love of his life in danger.
From a minor character in WINTER PALE, but a key figure in one of the most famous acts of resistance in WWII history, comes this contemplative, insightful, and honest confession.
