“Korean Rose” was published in April 2009. It is available on Amazon.
At the moment I am working on a novel “Betrayal”, a story set in Van and Eastern Anatolia in 1914-1918. It is the story of a young Scottish Baptist missionary, Jane, a French Armenian Marxist revolutionary, Arsen, a young Turkish man, Orhan, who falls in love with Jane. Betrayal is the theme that runs through the whole story.
