Even though it’s the holidays, I’m spending time on my PC writing the
next Sadie Brown mystery. The storyline involves two different times and
places: WW1 on a French farm and a murder in 1921 La Jolla, California. After
the war, retribution for a wartime event finds it’s way to the small community
of La Jolla and shakes Sadie Brown and her new husband’s quiet lives to the
core. Due out October 2022.
In my WW1 research, I’ve read much about the American Red Cross and its
humanitarian efforts during the 1
st World War. The Army and Navy
requested thousands of surgical dressings and comfort items, i.e., handknitted
socks, sweaters, caps, soaps, razors, and sewing kits. Lost buttons and ripped
uniforms could mean extra suffering during the bitter winters. Your great-grandmothers
may have been part of the millions of women who produced over 370 million
relief articles for the Allied armed forces and civilians in Europe. Now add the British Red Cross and others, and you can begin to see the enormous humanitarian effort that was put in place that helped men, women, and children during WW1 and after.

Wishing you all a HAPPY HOLIDAY and the very best for 2022.
