Berlin, 1938. The windows are shattered. The synagogues burn. And time is running out.In Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler, Jewish families are stripped of their livelihoods, their rights, and finally their safety. After years of hoping the madness would pass, Lina’s cousins realize the truth: if they do not leave now, they may never leave at all.

Across the Atlantic, in quiet Connecticut, Lina and her husband Ben are rebuilding their lives after the Great Depression. Then a letter arrives from Berlin—a plea for help that will upend everything.Lina has never met these three proud German cousins. Yet she is suddenly thrust into a perilous mission: navigate quotas, affidavits, mounting bureaucracy, and tightening borders to rescue family members trapped in the tightening grip of the Third Reich.

Based on real letters exchanged between Lina, her cousins, and others desperate to intervene, When the World was Broken brings to life:

The daily realities of Jewish life in Berlin from 1933–1942

The escalating terror following Kristallnacht

The moral paralysis and political barriers surrounding emigration

The fragile hope of refugees seeking safe harbor

The courage of ordinary individuals attempting extraordinary acts

For readers of World War II historical fiction, Jewish refugee narratives, and stories of emigration from Nazi Germany, this novel offers suspense, authenticity, and deeply human stakes on both sides of the Atlantic.When history fractures the world, who will risk everything to mend it? $1.99 on Kindle.

From the Treaty of Versailles to the first bombs falling on Warsaw—the countdown to catastrophe, told through the forms that filed it into existence. “This is not peace. This is an armistice for twenty years.” A German diplomat spoke those words in 1919. He was wrong by only thirty-seven days.

THE DOOMSDAY TIMETABLE is a sweeping work of historical fiction that traces the path from the humiliations of Versailles to the morning Neville Chamberlain told Britain it was at war. But this is not a story of great men making great decisions. It is the story of how civilization can be dismantled—not by barbarians at the gates, but by mild-mannered men in well-pressed suits checking the appropriate boxes.

What readers will discover:

The human machinery behind the historical record—what Chamberlain’s stomach felt like at 3 AM, knowing his life’s work had failed

The bureaucratic horror of forms that process atrocity with the same efficiency as leave applications

Civilians caught in the gears: a Tunbridge Wells mother knitting socks for a son marching toward Belgium, a Prague policeman saluting the occupiers of his own country, a small girl placing flowers on the rubble of her family’s home

The moral complexity of appeasement—eighteen months purchased at Munich, eighteen months of Spitfire production and radar installation, eighteen months that may have saved or doomed millions

A different kind of World War II novel. No simple villains. No comfortable verdicts. The Treaty of Versailles ran to 440 pages—nations have been birthed with fewer words, empires have fallen with less administrative thoroughness. The Doomsday Timetable asks how ordinary people perform their assigned functions with a competence that proves profoundly, tragically inappropriate. From the signing at Versailles to the resignation at Downing Street, the circle closes where it began: with signatures on paper, transforming human catastrophe into administrative record. The ledger remains open. History continues the accounting. Perfect for readers who loved The Splendid and the Vile, Munich by Robert Harris, All the Light We Cannot See, and The Winds of War. $0.99 on Kindle.
