About my latest book, Legends of the Black Orchid
In the spring of 1914, two college friends, Thomas "Tiggy" McStuart and Hans von Gotha, one British and the other German, find themselves on opposite sides of the impending war. As Hans leaves for Germany after being conscripted, Tiggy feels compelled to defend the crown and joins the London Light Infantry where he excels as a sniper in World War I. Tiggy is wounded and eventually captured by German forces, while Hans completes his express doctorate training and is sent to serve at a field hospital in northern France. Later, the lives of the two friends reconnect in a way neither of them thought possible.
Based on real-life events, Legends of the Black Orchid follows the lives of the two friends through the First World War to the start of World War II. It depicts how circumstances and the influences of the Black Orchid, a society formed by the royal families of Europe, bring them together, ultimately making them part of an exclusive intelligence unit that becomes the platform on which the British and American governments form a cooperative base for espionage.
