The Beauty Shop, my debut novel, was awarded the B.R.A.G. Medallion. It is based on the true story of Sir Archibald McIndoe and the Guinea Pig Club - an exclusive club for RAF pilots and airmen who required plastic surgery as a result of their war injuries and were under the care of this enigmatic New Zealander and pioneering plastic surgeon.

My second novel, Madame Fiocca, was released in 2019. Based on a true story, this gripping adventure follows the tempestuous life of Nancy Wake before and during the Second World War.
Spitfire, a short story, was released in 2020 and is set during WW2.

Music is the only noise I will allow in my head while writing. Tv, radio, conversation are all distracting but music is good for the mind and soul, and I believe it helps me create. Fortunately, I haven't had any major problems with writer's block as yet.(less)

Ian McEwan shared a note and highlight from
Atonement by Ian McEwan
the play told a tale of the heart whose message, conveyed in a rhyming prologue, was that love which did not build a foundation on good sense was doomed.
One of the literary ghosts that stalks this novel is Jane Austen. Her heroines typically cross a moral minefield to find and marry the right man. Along the way there are important life-lessons to be learned, principally how to read other people. Impulsiveness, vanity, deceit and rudeness must be surmounted. The suitable man is kind, honest, trustworthy and financially secure. However, he will have lessons to learn too. These good-sense qualities are not always evident at first. In an Austen novel, sexuality is not directly addressed, of course, but is richly implied by a certain powerful ...more

Aneta Dabrowska
“Sometimes you're trying so hard to get your life together and still it's not enough, everything is falling apart. What to do, you're asking. Just keep going through hell for yourself, not for everyone else. Richer with that wisdom, I will build my happiness from nothing. I will rise from the dust. And I will do it on my own. I will live for myself and I won’t look at the others.”
Asper Blurry, Train to the Edge of the Moon
