Kassandra Montag Endorsement

| Ted Wheeler

So happy to share an endorsement from my dear friend and collaborator, Kassandra Montag!

I publish nothing without showing it to Kassandra first and The War Begins in Paris is no different. Such a keen mind and generous spirit. She’s the best.

“A riveting novel with dynamic characters, The War Begins in Paris illuminates how intoxicating and destructive obsession can be. Wheeler ratchets up the drama with his nuanced, glowing prose, and portrays two complex women who believe in their ideals, no matter the peril. I couldn’t put it down.” —Kassandra Montag, author of After the Flood

Timothy Schaffert Blurb

I’m so honored to share this fantastic endorsement for The War Begins in Paris from one of my favorite novelists (and the godfather of Nebraska authors) Timothy Schaffert!

His Paris novel, The Perfume Thief, is so charming, and being in conversation with Timothy about The Perfume Thief was my highlight of the last Omaha Lit Fest we did in back 2021. I can’t wait for his new novel, The Titanic Survivors Book Club, which is due out in April.

“This vivid novel takes on one of my favorite subjects: journalists in the war zone. Here we have ‘radio traitors’ among them, everybody wound tight, with questions of truth and trust all caught up in threat and propaganda. With fascinating parallels to our own cultural moment, The War Begins in Paris is a captivating and vibrant—and utterly present—portrait of chaos.”

—Timothy Schaffert, author of The Perfume Thief
