My next Work In Progress in a historical novel set in Poland and Germany during WW2.
Ludwika is the story of a young Polish woman in Germany during and after WW2.
Hers is one of many stories of displaced people whose lives were so forcefully disrupted by German and Russian wrong-doings and International politics.
It is based on true events, filling in the (large) gaps where the facts could not be reliably established.
My initial involvement (before writing the story) was to help Ludwika’s children find those missing parts in her life story.
The (often frustrating) research to find answers to their questions helped to create this fictional/ fractional account of a life and my vision of a woman I have never met.
If you would like to beta-read my first complete draft and give me feedback on the story please contact me via twitter @CFFBooks or leave a comment on this post.

J’aurai bien aimé participer à votre initiative. Seulement je ne maitrise pas l’anglais. Le traducteur de Google a montré ses limites. Charef
Pas de problem et merci (merci aussi a La traducteur de Google) 🙂
Have a wonderful day 🙂
Looks like a great plot!
Good luck with your venture 🙂
Thank you Hargun 🙂
Sound great, Christoph. Being so aware of alleys and avenues that spot international politics now and them I’ll be at the front of the queue waiting to buy the book and read it.
Thanks Ina 🙂
Sounds wonderful! Best of luck with it 🙂
I’ll definitely be buying the book, Christoph. I’m so tempted to say I’ll be one of your beta readers but I know I just don’t have time, which is a ruddy shame!
Thank you for considering it. Have a great weekend and thank you 🙂
Good luck Christoph. Your Beta readers are in for a treat! Hugs. 🙂
Thanks Teagan. ❤
It sounds fascinating. I’m going to be away and with no regular access to internet from early in August for a few weeks so I wouldn’t be able to come back with my feedback in a timely manner. I look forward to reading the book though.
Thanks Olga. Havea a great holiday ❤
Hi Christoph,
I would be delighted to be one of your beta readers. I am a top 500 Vine reviewer on Amazon and have reviewed a few books about World War II.
You can contact me via the contact form on my blog, if you have any questions.
Good luck with this endeavor!

That’s fantastic news Nancy.
I just left my email address via your contact form.
Thank you so much.
Christoph
I’d take a crack at it, if you wanted–BA English and former pro editor and copywriter–and would love to share it with my septuagenarian mom, who is an absolute WW2 geek and trivia nut. Caveat–going on a long vacation and wouldn’t get back to you until late August.
you can email me directly junk.o.chuck(at)gmail.com or PM me on facebook.
Late August will be just fine 🙂
Email on its way shortly.
Many thanks!
The human would love to read it! She has read lots of books from that time period and she is always looking for more stories of the lives of those who experienced it!
Fantastic. I will send it to the human 🙂
😺 Why thank you! She can’t wait to get her little paws on it!
No, thank you! I hope she liked it 🙂
Looks as if you have a few readers, C. If you need more, send the manuscript my way!
Thanks Lorna – I will send it your way ❤
Got it!
