Her courage crossed endless barriers. Like a pure, flawless diamond, it reflected her strength and resolve, lighting the way through a never-ending stream of adversities that nearly cost her her life. "Madame Delafloté, Impeccable Spy is the timeless story of ordinary individuals who become extraordinary patriots in their quest to battle tyranny and evil in times of war. As a grief-stricken war widow, Eléonore Delafloté wanted to die. Her searching fingers touched the pills in the pocket of her coat; her eyes found the bed where she would take her last breath. Her room at the Hotel de Crillon became dark and still as light faded across the skies of Nazi-occupied Paris. The beautiful young widow's wish for death is averted when a British spy finds refuge in her hotel room and escapes capture by the Gestapo. The Germans frantically search for the deadly assassin before he completes his mission to murder one of Germany's most feared Nazis. Avery Gannon, a revered spymaster working for the SIS, realizes that Eléonore Delafloté is no ordinary woman when she unleashes hidden strengths that allow her to follow him into the dark world of espionage and becomes an impeccable spy. Together, deep in the treacheries of a world war, they become one of the most celebrated spy teams in British history.

The author was born in north Florida in the little town of Live Oak, where the nearby Suwannee River flows the color of warm caramel, in a three-room, tin-roofed house named "poor." Her Irish mother's and English father's voices can be heard even today as they sweep across the hot tobacco fields of Suwannee County, "Susie, child, you must stop telling all those wild stories." She divides her time between the piney woods of Florida and the lush mountains of North Carolina where she is compelled to write about far away places and people whose hearts require a voice. Her two daughters live their lives hiding from their mother, whose rampant imagination keeps their lives in constant turmoil with stories of apple-rotten characters and plots that cause the devil to smile.
