CELEBRATE WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH !πŸ‘©β€πŸ« QOTD: How do you celebrate women’s history?πŸ‘©β€πŸ«β€οΈβ­οΈπŸ’™ πŸ“ Welcome to our Author Showcase! We’re going to find you something new to read! πŸ“–πŸ‘ ❣️ This week’s Featured Author is: Kit Sergeant (@kitsergeant.author) πŸ“– And their book: Nancy Wake: the second novel in the WWII Women Spies Series! Inspired by the extraordinary true story of Nancy Wake, nicknamed β€œThe White Mouse” by the Gestapo, this novel follows one of the most daring operatives of WWII. Working with the French Resistance and later the SOE, Nancy repeatedly evaded capture while helping coordinate sabotage missions and supply drops behind enemy lines. From heart-stopping escapes to impossible moral choices, Nancy Wake brings readers into the dangerous underground world of espionage, resistance networks, and sacrifice. Readers have said: ⭐️ β€œBreathtaking β€” the sacrifice made by so many ordinary people is beyond belief.” ⭐️ β€œAn exceptional portrayal of a female Resistance operative.” ⭐️ β€œPowerful, inspiring, and impossible to put down.” ⭐️ β€œA vivid reminder of the critical Nancy Wake is the second installment in my WWII Women Spies Series. I am currently writing the third novel, Virginia Hall, set to release late this summer β€” and I cannot wait to share her incredible story next. πŸ”₯ ‼️ Find other posts for this Showcase and information about joining @jeannie.raney ‼️ πŸ”₯ Themes/tags πŸ”₯ #indieauthorshowcase2026 #jeannieraneyauthorshowcase #WWIIWomenSpies #WomenInHistory #HistoricalFictionπŸ‘©β€πŸ«
