As an elementary school teacher, I enjoyed reading books out loud, especially those that left my students begging to hear just one more chapter. When I retired from teaching I decided to write my own chapter book.  A Bomber's Night began as a tribute to my parents, who experienced prejudice as refugees in World War II England. Weaving the German Enigma Codes into the story added just the right amount of history and tension to create a page turner.

As she reached for the back door knob she remembered her little sister down in the shed feeding Tuppence. She dropped the bucket and ran back through the yard.
