My father was a career soldier and consequently, I lived many places including Germany and France. My life changed at the age of eleven when we moved into a house in Toul, France. In the three-story house, rumored to have been occupied by the Nazis during World War II, was a treasure trove of books. From classics to pulp fiction, these books created in me a desire to be an author. Today I live that dream with my husband of forty years on a small farm in south Alabama. In the peaceful surroundings of rural life with cats, dogs, and a horse, I incorporate lessons and stories I learned at my mother’s knee into my books. I consider myself to be a defender, a servant, a peacemaker. A writer. Find my books at https://www.amazon.com/Abagail-Eldan/...
