Blog postI love to crochet. And I love to create exactly what I need or want. When I was a little girl, I always whipped out a crochet hook when my dolls needed skirts, bonnets, shoes or dresses. Now that I'm a big girl, I still like to settle down with my yarn to make just the hat, dishcloth, or shawl I need. But the best part of it? I get to share them with you! Check out my Author Page on Amazon to see all the fun patterns I've been creating lately.

Blog postThe air-raid siren was sounding, and the dusky London street was suddenly filled with the rush of people hurrying for the nearest bomb shelter. The neighborhood was not untouched: a recent bombing still tainted the air with the smell of burning, and the stark skeletons of bombed-out homes stood gaunt against the swiftly darkening sky. Above the waiting city, the black bulk of barrage balloons hung like dark specters, their trailing steel cables crisscrossing the air. Though a stranger, the1 year ago Read more

Lighten Our Darkness
Nov 20, 2017
$6.49
"I do not believe to live through this war; I have seen too many die to tell myself otherwise. I can be careful, but what is that? I am going to fight."
A fighter pilot ready to die. A girl whose world has crumbled. A city bombed and broken. A country struggling for existence.
As a Polish fighter pilot serving in the RAF, Pilot Officer Jedrick Ondraski does not expect to survive the war with Nazi Germany; he only wants to avenge his family and homeland before he dies. But when he meets Helen Smith, a young American woman, during an air raid on a dark London street, the encounter forces him back into the world he has renounced. A marriage of convenience seems to be the only way for him to provide her a home and a life after the bombing that destroyed her tranquil home. Helen, destitute and alone, clings to him for help and comfort; but when he joins his squadron in aerial battle with the very enemy who destroyed his own country, there seems little hope of a future for either of them. As the Luftwaffe aggressively targets civilian London, the whole country braces for a Nazi invasion. And in the blackout of the London Blitz, two young souls reach out for life, love…and the One Who can lighten their darkness.
The first WWII historical novel by author and historian Sarah Brazytis, 'Lighten Our Darkness' will take you to the bombed streets of London, the barracks of the RAF, and the flak-riddled skies of the Battle of Britain.

The Reluctant Bride
Dec 6, 2019
$5.29
Wide-eyed, Rozalia accepted the letters, gazing curiously at the firm, upright script that had written her own name on the first envelope: Rozalia Bartkowska.
“Thank you,” she murmured.
Her parents, by unspoken consent, rose from the table.
“I’d better see that the hencoop is latched,” said her father.
“I’ll come and show you where the roof is leaking,” her mother volunteered quickly.
Alone in the quiet, Rozalia opened the first envelope with trembling fingers.
"Panna Rozalia,
It seems very strange to me to be addressing this letter to you at last, but in truth, your aunt and uncle have spoken so often about you, I almost feel that I must have met you somehow..."
Set in 19th century America, this tale of immigrant life and pioneer grit is meticulously researched and will charm any history lover!
