Well done! I used to publish there years ago, and am glad to see they're still flourishing!

Thanks, LizzieMaine! Yes, they are definitely still around. In the past they used to publish more frequently, but now they have issues each year. I had a subscription back in the '90s when I was in high school. Bought six copies this weekend and passed them out to family members.

Here's what I have had published so far in order of most recent, articles for my model railroad work:

• 
  
  • 2020 On30 Annual has my article on modelling military trains on a layout.
  • April/May 2020 O Gauge Model Railroading Magazine has a review of the Bachmann On30 'trench' 2-6-2T.
  • Narrow Gauge Model Railroading calendar for 2020 has a photo of my layout for April.
  • February/March 2019 O Gauge Model Railroading Magazine has a feature article on my layout.
  • August/September 2018 O Gauge Model Railroading Magazine has a photo of my layout.
  • 2018 On30 Annual has an article I wrote showing how to turn a used tender into a water car.
  • March/April 2018 Narrow Gauge and Short Line Gazette did a article on the military/historical aspect of my layout.
  • January 2018 Trackside Model Railroading online magazine did a excellent profile of my layout, with great photos. They also released a DVD of all the video they shot.
  • 2017 On30 Annual did a feature article I wrote on the layout.
  • Model Railway Hobbyist ran two photos taken on the layout in 2017, in the March and December issues.
  • While not model RR-related, I got a photo published in the December, 2017 issue of Fine Scale Modeler! It's of my Dad's amazing 1/6 scale Civil War James rifle field gun. Ironically, I was visiting my parents in Florida when I found out and was standing right next to my Dad when I got the news!

I am just gobsmacked that I can post this, but here it is:

My novel, The Stranger from Berlin, is now available for preorder on Amazon. It will be published by Simon & Schuster UK in August 2021.

An absolute dream come true. I have wanted this since I was 12 years old!

Congratulations, how exciting for you. Can I have your autograph now, before Hollywood comes calling.

So the day has FINALLY ARRIVED! (Actually, it was August 10, so more than a few weeks ago!).

My historical novel, The Stranger from Berlin, is now available as an ebook from Simon & Schuster UK. Fingers crossed, it will be released in paperback next year, but a lot of that depends on good reviews and people buying it in ebook.

So if you enjoy historical fiction set on the American Homefront with a dash of romance and a whole lot of mystery, this book is right up your alley. I've included the description below:

She doesn’t know if she can trust him. But she’s determined to save him . . .

Nebraska, 1943: Jenni Fields's husband Danny was killed in action two months ago. Now pregnant with another man's child, Jenni is determined to keep her secret from the small community of Meadow Hills.

Max Koenig fled Germany in 1938, escaping the Nazis and leaving behind a dark secret of his own. Employed to translate a historic German-language diary, Max moves to Meadow Hills, but the overly patriotic community isn’t happy to have a German in their midst.

When the diary goes missing, the whole town thinks Max is the thief. And when local businesses and landmarks start being vandalized with German graffiti, the residents naturally point the finger his way.

Jenni is the only one who believes Max is innocent. Clearly, the diary holds information someone in the town would rather keep quiet. What happened in Meadow Hills all those years ago? And will Jenni be able to prove Max’s innocence before it’s too late?

Congrats Melissa. Way to go kiddo!

Thank you so much!

Wow! This is awesome news! I would LOVE to read your book, but since I am legally blind, I do not read eBooks very well and a paperback copy would take me ages to complete. So, I do best with audio versions of books these days. I hope an audio version will be released one day.

Congratulations on your writing and publishing journey! What an amazing accomplishment! Interesting, how Simon & Schuster UK accepted your book and not Simon & Schuster in the U.S.
