This is the first new post continuing the series started by this blog's creators in order to let any Sockmonkey Writers who would like to promote their books or stories to do so. Thank you to Therese (Terry) Martin for agreeing to be the first!
In the Presence of My Enemies is a middle to high school grade historical fiction novel set during World War II.
"Emily Coates lived a life many Americans would envy. She grew up in the Philippine Islands in a diplomatic family, and reached adulthood when Franklin Delano Roosevelt was in the White House and Glenn Miller's band was all the rage. Her job with the Army Air Corps in Manila was exciting until the day the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, rapidly followed by air and sea attacks on Manila. At twenty-two, invading Japanese took her, her mother, and her sisters as captives. They ended up in an internment camp, where for nearly four years they experienced deprivation to an almost unimaginable degree. Will this pampered American princess collapse under pressure? Or, will she show the courage that will lead future generations to call hers the Greatest Generation?"
Therese (Terry) Martin moved to Pierce County, Washington from Colorado in 2016. She is a retired middle school teacher, but continues to teach karate to all ages. She is currently working on the third Alpha Colony novel and has started a mystery series set in the 1950's with the characters from In the Presence of My Enemies and her other WW2 novel.
You can buy the Kindle version or the Paperback version , as well as read a sample of the novel on Amazon.
