Thrilled to bring the Christmas Spirit of the Arden Family on the US homefront in 1943 to my Dutch readers! My time travel romance — pubs 7 December 2026.

Haar verloren liefde. Her Lost Love.

Here is the blurb in Dutch: Op een koude winterdag in 1955 stapt Kate Arden de trein in om thuis Kerstmis te vieren. Maar wanneer ze uitstapt, bevindt ze zich niet langer in 1955.Ze is terug in 1943 – het jaar dat Kate ten huwel…

‘On a cold December day in 1955 I got on a train to go back home for Christmas

This is the story of what happened when I got off that train.

In 1943.’

Kate travels back in time to save the man she loves…

On this Veterans Day, we celebrate the men and women who have served our country. Her Lost Love remembers those left behind. Haar verloren liefde: Amazon NL page and Boldwood NL page available now for pre-order

Here ‘The Arden Family’, an old family photo with ‘Kate’ on the left with the white bow in her hair with the gang. The inspiration to create the Ardens from Posey Creek PA during the war here in the US.

I made a video — English with Dutch subtitles!

Happy Veterans Day! Bless you all… and to the families of WW2 vets, their sacrifice will be forever in our hearts and our children’s and their children’s.

Best,

Jina

Once Upon A Story

Author Details

I discovered early on that I inherited the gift of the gab from my large Irish family when I penned a story about a princess who ran away to Paris with her pet turtle Lulu. I was twelve. I grew up listening to their wild, outlandish tales and it was those early years of storytelling that led to my love of history and traveling. I enjoy writing to classical music with a hot cup of java by my side. I adore dark chocolate truffles, vintage anything, the smell of bread baking and rainy days in museums. I’ve always loved walking through history—from Pompeii to Verdun to Old Paris. The voices of the past speak to me through carriages with cracked leather seats, stiff ivory-colored crinolines, and worn satin slippers. I’ve always wondered what it was like to walk in those slippers when they were new.
