It is about two teenaged stage magician girls in London at the beginning of WWII who are evacuated to the countryside – and discover a hidden college of real magicians. As they try to persuade the reclusive magicians to help their country's cause (two handsome, dashing ones in particular) they face love, betrayal, danger, and challenges to their most deeply held beliefs.

I like to write about the small things inside the big things – the romances, the friendships, the accidents, that have a huge (though utterly unknown) effect on history. My historicals are alternate history in that the main characters never existed, the plots they make or foil never happened. But they are set in a past that is as accurate as possible. In other words, no magicians probably ever meddled in world events in 1939, but they could have. I don't change any real historical outcomes. I just show what could have happened behind the scenes if a stage magician girl and a real magician boy happened to meet and fall in love.
I hope you read it -- and I hope you love it! Let me know what you think!
