I’ve been waiting for weeks to be able to share the cover of my new novel ‘Acts of Love and War.’ And now it feels wrong to glory in my own work, when we see what’s happening in Ukraine. It also feels much too close to the bone that for two years I’ve been writing about the Spanish civil war, in which ordinary citizens were armed against the professional troops and superior hardware of an aggressor. And here it is happening on the streets of Europe again. I have also researched and written about the International Brigades, in which volunteers went to fight for what they saw as right. And now again, we see Ukraine setting up International Brigades. So though I’m happy about my new novel, due out in May on Kindle, in the UK in June and in Canada in August, humanity makes me weep.
