In Our Memories is one family's story of loss, suffering, and eventually justice. By August 1915, the Armenian residents of the city of Urfa know they have few options. With little to lose they wage war on the Ottoman Army for two months, despite being outnumbered eight to one. Defeat is inevitable, after which Anoush Hagopian, one of the survivors of the Women's Brigade, gathers her mother and her children for their deportation to Aleppo. Swiss doctor Paul Lang stands beneath nine young women crucified, while wondering who could do such a thing. Unable to gather information about atrocities committed against the Armenian people, he decides on a course of action which will change his life. In a brothel in a backstreet in Aleppo, he finds sixteen year old Karine Hagopian, who tells her story of courage and tragedy. Together, Paul and Karine set off to find Karine's mother Anoush, but it's far from certain that Anoush survived the attempted extermination of her people. The more time Paul spends with Karine, the more he's fascinated by her strength, her suffering and her vulnerability. Equally fascinating is her heritage, which seems to have changed little over the past millennia. Infatuated by Karine; Paul will devote his life to the rescue of the survivors of this terrible atrocity. 'Unforgettable story of love, loss and bravery. Highly recommended' - Mary Parks, author of Secret Star.

Autorenporträt
Writing a novel didn't cross my mind until relatively recently, when I went to the local library and couldn't find a book that interested me. That led me consider a new pastime. Write a book. That book may never be published, but I felt my follow-up cross-cultural crime with romance hybrid set in Russia had more potential. So much so that I wrote a sequel that took those characters on a journey to a very dark place.

Once those books were published and garnered good reviews I wrote in a very different place and time, and my two novels set in Victorian Britain and published in July and August of 2014. I followed those up with various novels set in various places at various times, with the most recent being a story set in the Syrian Civil War.
