This book is set in 1960's and early 1970's, with a strong female lead.
Martina, a young ex-military German woman, is leaving the misogyny and poverty of a Vatican dominated Europe. She is heading for a peaceful, secular and female-run Middle East. Along the way, she seeks retribution against four men who had previously attacked her.
She fights sea pirates and rescues three trafficked women and a bonded child, before entering the Middle East hidden in a fishing boat
Fire and fury of terrorism enters the Middle East at the 1972 Baghdad Olympic Games, where German terrorists kidnap Israeli athletes. This is where Martina is recruited to the Intelligence Services and becomes a spook.
Martina fights terrorists, child abusers and a militia group. She finds the parents of the boy rescued from bondage and uncovers a terror link between an African diamond mine, the German State, an Israeli patriot and a WW2 concentration camp.

I work as a Business Development Manager.
I am a part-time fiction writer, although my first completed book was a How-To book. How to solve the Arab Israeli problem in the Middle East.
My next book was fictional. Well before Donald Trump came to power, I wrote an amusing story of how the American people decided to ditch democracy and the series of events which led to it.
Both of these weren't published, even by self-publishing. They weren't good enough.
After writing Martina, I knew this book was one to publish. I only sent it to one traditional publishing house, where it got rejected. Not having time to send it to others; I went down the self-publishing route.
The feedback I have had from those who have read the book is extremely positive.
