Welcome to my video series WHAT I LEARNED, where authors answer two questions related to their latest book:
- What did you learn from your latest book that you'd like to share with your fellow writers?
- What did you learn from your latest book that you'd like to share with your fellow readers?
In this installment, I talk with Libby Fischer Hellmann ‪@LibbyHellmann‬ about MAX'S WAR. Find out more at libbyhellmann.com
Libby Fischer Hellmann left a career in broadcast news in Washington, DC and moved to Chicago a long time ago, where she, naturally, began to write gritty crime fiction. She soon began writing historical fiction as well. Eighteen novels and twenty-five short stories later, she claims they’ll take her out of the Windy City feet first. She has been nominated for many awards in the mystery and crime writing community and has even won a few. Her latest novel is Max’s War: The Story of a Ritchie Boy, the little known group of German Jewish immigrants who escaped Hitler and joined the US Army to fight Nazis.
