About the author

As the credits rolled, he walked out knowing he wanted to be a writer—to entwine fact and fiction, to bring history to life.

In *The Surviving Remnant*, Bret masterfully portrays the haunting journey of Jakub, a Holocaust survivor, as he struggles with his past and the lure of vengeance. Spanning the horrors of Dachau and Sobibor to the promise of redemption in 1960s Argentina, this poignant novel explores survival, love, and the ultimate question: can we move forward without letting go of the past? Bret’s storytelling spans eras and emotions, from the forbidden love between a Soviet sniper and a German pilot in *The Winter Tiger & The War Eagle* to the heartrending saga of *Forever Fleeting*, set against the backdrop of Auschwitz and Stalingrad. In *Gone the Way of the Dodo Bird*, readers are plunged into the dangerous underworld of Prohibition-era Chicago, while *The Final Edit* delivers nail-biting suspense as a woman confronts a chilling mystery that threatens to destroy her. Through evocative prose and vivid world-building, Bret delves into the human condition, capturing love, loss, and resilience in times of unimaginable adversity.
