Cover Reveal: “Eternal Flame”
Ok, by now, you all know I’m not a frequent blogger. I update once in a blue moon when I have news to announce. But that’s all right. What I really like doing is not to write blogs, but to write stories that you all love to read. And today, I’m super excited to announce my upcoming new release, Eternal Flame. This is a stand alone story spun out of the Rose of Anzio series. I’m planning to submit this story to Amazon’s Kindle Scout program this week, so will have more details about that soon. In the mean time, here’s a peak at what’s to come. Eternal Flame ~ A Rose of Anzio Story ~ by Alexa Kang * * * “Last night, I loved you a lifetime and more.” 16-year-old Julia Olsen’s world is falling apart. Her quarterback boyfriend broke up with her. Her family’s new home under renovation is a mess. Her high school counselor won’t stop harping on about her grades. A time-traveling WW2 soldier crashing into her room is the last thing she needs. In 1944, 18-year-old Edmond Ferris answered the draft and headed to war in France. A chance discovery brought him home to Chicago…in 1989! He’s back in his own room, except a strange girl is living in it. She drives a Japanese car and she listens to Milli Vanilli, a German band. Is their encounter an error in time or a will of fate? Find out in this timeless tale of two young people whose love for each other knows no bounds.
More Podcast & Interview
Today is the 75th Anniversary of Pearl Harbor. Last month, I joined a group of WWII fiction authors and published the short stories anthology Pearl Harbor and More: Stories of December 1941.

On Anthony and Jesse
WARNING: This blog post contains spoiler of Book 4 – Remembrance. Jesse Garland is no doubt the most memorable character in the Rose of Anzio. I know because many readers have written to me about him. I didn’t plan for him to enter this story. When I write, I don’t plot or outline. I let the muse take me where it wants me to go. Jesse materialized when I was writing Book 2-Jalousie, when I had in mind to create an 18-year old solider who would be akin to a
About PEARL HARBOR AND MORE
Stories of WWII: December 1941 On December 7th 1941, a pivotal event took place that changed the face of World War II. Hundreds of Japanese fighter planes carried out a devastating surprise attack on the American naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. By December 11th, the United States was at war with the Axis Powers in the Pacific and European theaters. World War II raged for almost another four years, but the entry of the world’s greatest economy into the conflict profoundly influenced its course.
