BICYCLE THROUGH THE DARK
Does a baby stolen during WWII have any connection to a murder in 1977? Bicycle Through the Dark takes the reader on an emotional journey through both time frames of history.
In 1977 Det. Nico Vandermolen is a police detective with murder to solve; a body is found in a shallow grave, and the detective is assigned to the case. It looks like a random murder, but for him it becomes so much more.
As a child in Europe during WWII, he’d witnessed a very small part of the very worst of humanity. Now, as a Canadian citizen, he fights the injustices that continually take him back to those brutal years.
Thirty-two years after the war has ended, there are still questions, with answers that have eluded him. The murder becomes hopelessly entangled with the part of his childhood he can’t forget and the case that he needs to crack.
What became of his childhood friend, the one who still speaks to him in his dreams? Snatched away by a program called The Final Solution, Vandermolen has always wondered if his friend died in the gas chambers or survived. Is anyone in that family still alive? He is convinced they are all dead. How can it be otherwise?
But, his young daughter, her new friend, and a man with a secret, finally set free, proves that life continues.

FISH & CHIPS
In 1992 I agreed to be a deckhand for my husband, a commercial fisherman. I must have been crazy, no?
To keep my sanity I began imagining fish, with lives just like our own. They had homes, families and jobs, using fishers as a handy resource, just like we do them. The boat’s propeller turned into a carnival ride, the fisherman - an ad hoc dentist. Fish went on fishing vessel cruises. Dogfish turned into pets for bratty little fish, and halibut became mobile billboards. Starfish became the stars in their sky. There was even a mermaid.
Who, me? I was just a lowly deckhand.
