Loretta Goldberg
Loretta Goldberg writes historical literary fiction with battle scenes. She loves this genre because she finds in history’s frames, where events have beginnings and endings, a magical mirror in which we can see ourselves more fully. Her debut novel, The Reversible Mask: An Elizabethan Spy Novel, won the International Firebird Book Award in Historical Fiction and New Fiction in 2023. It also won a Book Excellence Finalists Award in 2019.
Her second novel, Beyond the Bukubuk Tree: A World War II Novel of Love and Loss, won International Firebird Book Awards in 2023 in War Fiction. This meticulously researched and richly textured novel is set in a lesser-known battle of the Pacific War featuring an idealistic Jewish doctor and a soul-scarred Catholic veteran of WWII. The strength of the human spirit and bonds of love are tested against the backdrop of these battles. "Beyond the Bukubuk Tree" is a gripping saga of courage and resilience of diverse communities in the face of overwhelming adversity.
Frank Spinelli
In this arresting second installment of Angelo Perrotta Mysteries, Angelo agrees to appear on the widely controversial satellite radio crime show, A Thorny Mess, to recount his tragic first year in private practice. Shortly after arriving in Los Angeles, he becomes entangled in a string of murders targeting gay male sex workers perpetrated by the No Angels Wept Killer.
