From the author of My Life, My Heart, I’m pleased to turn the focus on her newest
work, an exciting World War II romance novel and love story, On Angel’s Wings. Some of you may know I write a few historical
romances too and I’ve got one WWII love story out there in the world myself (In The Shadow of War) so you know I’m
partial to stories set in that time period.
Without any more fuss, I’ll turn things over to the author herself, the
talented Joanne C. Berroa with her post, the blurb, and an excerpt sure to
leave you wanting more from her brand new release, On Angel’s Wings from Rebel Ink Press!!
Here’s Joanne:
My hero in On Angels' Wings is named Lt. Johnny Morgan and he's a
Navy pilot. I wrote the original manuscript years before I had my second son.
When he was born, I named him after my hero in On Angels'
Wings---"Johnny." Little did I know when he would turn 17 he would
become a licensed pilot! Johnny had never read the book nor had I instilled in
him the drive to become a pilot. It was just meant to be, I guess. Once he flew
on a jet to California he was hooked! I recently rewrote On Angels' Wings from
its original 600+ pages down to about 250 pages. It's a story near and dear to
me because it was so many years in the making and because my son became my real
life "hero" in many ways!
On Angels' Wings Blurb:
December
1940 found the world on the brink of a conflict greater than it had yet known,
but for Anne Miller, USO band singer, the days before Pearl Harbor find her
world full of excitement and promise. She had left the comfort of family and
friends in Washington, DC to venture out into the distant and beautiful
Hawaiian landscape to make a new life for herself and her fiancé, Corporal
Daniel Beiler of the American Army forces.
Little
did she know her perfect world was just an illusion. She didn’t expect to fall
in love with a Navy pilot she’d meet at the USO dancehall on the eve of “the
day that will live in infamy.” Her love for Daniel would be threatened while
she fought with new and strange emotions for the brave and reckless Lieutenant
Johnny Morgan. How could she love both men, although quite differently, and
remain true to either? Will the outbreak of WWII tear their lives apart or pull
them together in rain drenched islands in the South Pacific?
On
Angels’ Wings is a story of desperation, hope, and fulfillment during the
tumultuous years of World War II.
On Angels' Wings
Excerpt:
Johnny nodded. He strapped on the headphones which connected to
the Fort Shafter spotters, but the line was full of static. “Give me the
telephone,” he said. It took only a few seconds to get through the regular Army
circuit to the switchboard operator at the center. “There’s a bunch of planes
coming our way,” Johnny said without preliminary. “I’m looking right at the
radar screen. We expecting planes this morning?” he asked. After the operator
replied, Johnny hung up. “They’ll get back to us.”
A moment later, the phone rang and George picked it up. It was a
short call. “The Lieutenant says not to worry,” George said, relaying the
message.
“What the hell?” Johnny said. “We’ve got something like fifty
planes approaching Pearl if this set’s not on the fritz. I plot their distance
at ninety-two miles and closing at one hundred and eighty miles per hour.”
