Authors Delight as Amazon and Barnes and Noble Stock Holocaust Book
"There Are No Children Here" - Newly published author excited at first published novel.
(PRWEB) March 8, 2005 -- New Author Leanda Wood has just had her first novel
published, which was released on 3rd March 2005.
Leanda's book "There Are
No Children Here" is a tragic and compelling story about the struggle and trials
of Ayala Bergman, a young Jewish girl growing up in Nazi occupied Poland during
the Second World War. It mirrors the horrors of the holocaust and portrays the
suffering of the Jews in the Nazi concentration camps. It's release comes just
weeks after the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
“I
always had an active imagination when I was young, and was always writing short
stories and poems,” says Leanda.
"I have always had a love of history
also, and a morbid fascination if you like, with the tragic era of the
holocaust, and the rise of Hitler," says Leanda. "I used to watch all the
documentaries and history programmes when I was growing up, and had so much
sympathy for the poor victims when I saw the suffering they endured, and I
always knew that one day I would collect enough knowledge to be able to write
about it."
Leanda Wood had already been recognised locally as an inspiring
and up and coming novelist.
She has recently been invited to attened a
book signing event at the West Florida Holocaust Museum.
"I am so
excited about it, but very nervous too. This will be my first signing, so I hope
it goes well. Dates for the signing have not yet been arranged, but they will
become available soon.
On the novel it's self, Leanda says, "I hope
people will enjoy my work. It is my first novel so I hope that people will buy
it and give me plenty of feedback on it. I’m also excited that the release is
just weeks after the liberation of Auschwitz. It kind of puts it's in the
spotlight somewhat I hope," say's the new writer. "I think it is important that
people never forget what happened sixty years ago, and that as the generations
move on, the memory of the victims stays alive.
Leanda's book is for sale
at most leading bookstores and is selling quite well online at Amazon.com and
Barnes and Noble.com
