Image
Welcome James McManus to Writer's Corner.  We are pleased to share his book Midnight in Berlin .  I have always found Historical fiction set during World War II an interesting read.  I think you will too!

And that would be about my boyfriend, Cooper. Cooper Sands is his full name, just in case you haven’t read the books about all the fun escapades and sometimes harrowing dilemmas I find myself in. People always wonder if he is as handsome, sweet, and kind as he’s portrayed. I have, to be honest and say yes. While that makes me a lucky girl he sure does make me look bad sometimes when I don’t listen to him and then find out, he was right all along. I just can’t help it. I hate being told what to do and even when I know I SHOULD listen to what he’s saying. I can’t always do it. But, he puts up with my Starbucks and shopping habit, and he loves me.
