As a retired teacher living in Chilworth, I decided to attempt some fiction writing during the lockdowns. The Devil’s Sandbags is being published on 30th June and is set in Chilworth and Godalming as well as Germany where the earlier action for the main characters took place. The Devil’s Sandbag has a title taken from a myth of the history of Aachen in Germany. The Devil tried to destroy both the cathedral and the city but brave villagers stood up to him and he failed. The failure of destruction became a symbol for Dorothea and her colleagues who overcame their past…

The aftermath of leading a double life; Dorothea was for many years an undercover agent for M16 infiltrating a commune of revolutionary activists linked with the Baader-Meinhof Group in the 1970s. After leaving that work which caused her great distress, she tried to lead a normal life with her family who never knew what she had done. She discovered decades later that the past events and her own actions during those years would return to haunt her. She and her fellow agents learn to find healing, recovery and hope for the future. Dorothea has a second chance at love and happiness.

The book is available on Amazon as a paerback and Ebook.
