I'll go first. My favorite author(s) of WWII fiction are Brock and Bodie Thoene (with Tricia Goyer and Jack Cavanaugh tying for second place). Part of this reason is they are the first Christian fiction authors I'd ever read. The book I was introduced to by a friend was titled Vienna Prelude. As I read each story in the series I became entrenched in that era and in WWII Europe. I lived in their world. Because of these authors I became hooked on Christian fiction and the rest is history. What about you?
I will select a winner next Sunday. Enjoy!
About the Book:
The year is 1945. The war is over and 21-year-old Betty Lake has been invited to Europe to sing in a USO tour for American soldiers who now occupy Hitlers Germany. The first night's performance is a hit. Betty becomes enthralled with the applause, the former Nazi-held mansion they're housed in and the attention of Frank Witt, the US Army Signal Corp Photographer. Yet the next night this songbird is ready to fly the coop when Betty's dear friend, Kat, turns up missing. Betty soon realizes Frank's photographs could be the key to finding Kat. Betty and Frank team up against post-war Nazi influences and the two lovebirds' hearts may find the answers...in each other. But will they have a chance for their romance to sing? The truth will be revealed under a German moon.
My thoughts:
I love Tricia Goyer's WWII fiction titles. I am sure I'll love this one, too. I have it down to review soon and as the moment I finish it I'll post my review.

My favorite WWII author is Cara Putman. She does such a good job of crafting the setting and characters, you feel you are there.

Oops...I forgot to answer the question. I can't say I have a favorite WWII fiction novel. Most of what I have read, from this time period, has been non-fiction. I've seen lots of films from this era as well. I did read Lori Wick's book Every Storm and enjoyed it.
i would love to win this book!
