And the baby.

And now I’m realizing how many times I tagged you.
Sorry!
I just got a little excited……
I’d love to hear any thoughts or questions, and if you want to see the other characters I’d love to send them!

@ellette-giselle @rae @theducktator @grcr @koshka @elishavet-pidyon @esther-c @anyone-else
Pastor Nikolai Smirnov’s close group, being all of the people who help keep his underground church running during Leon/Riker’s 3rd book, all that he trusts deeply and that do all of the things necessary to preach the Gospel, and all men that Leon/Riker also find themselves beginning to connect with and trust while in East Germany.
Until, of course, one of them betrays Leon and Riker to the MGB.
But I won’t reveal who the traitor is. That’s for the book after it’s out✨
But here’s a look at all of them👀
Thank you so much!!! What do you think of the characters?
(want to now something funny? In the original, Josef’s name was Riker! NO LIE! It was in the notes that I had since 2018.) I changed his name of course, and I think Josef fits even better.
Do you want to see any more?

AND I WANT Y’ALL TO READ IT SO BAD BUT WE HAVE TO BE PATIENTðŸ˜ðŸ˜
oooh👀✨ (well let’s hope not, but I already know who the traitor is gonna be, so uhhhh just hope for the best😅😆)
Mine takes place in Germany, because I find there are a lack of stories from Germany’s side of the war.
Not all German’s were Nazi’s.
Oh my gosh. That’s exactly what my older sister and I talked about in the past. We both wanted to learn german (I still want to) so we could visit Germany, find journals/writings from that era, and translate them into English. I’m sure there are so many unknown true stories from the German people who did not agree with Hitler, but the world doesn’t know about them because they aren’t in English!
I mean, just take Dietrich Bonhoeffer, for instance. By the way, are you planning on watching the new Bonhoeffer? The trailer is SO moving.
Would you like to read the WW2 story my brother wrote? I think you’ll really enjoy it!
Oh my gosh!!! Elsa is soooo cute!
One of our previous cats was named Elsa. And we named her kittens, Anna, Kristoff, and Suzanne. (We thought Suzanne was a boy, so we named her Sven, but after we discovered she was a girl, we changed it to Suzanne)

@ellette-giselle @freed_and_redeemed whoa, awesome characters!!!
"When in doubt, eat cheese crackers."-me to my charries who don't even know about cheese crackers
oh also the thing about the frog in his pocket is so funny lol
I love lizards and frogs and all that, but I definitely don’t put them in my pockets. At least I can wash my hands immediately after putting the animal down; my clothes, not so much. Plus I don’t want to sit on them lol

@ellette-giselle (*hands you tissues*) @liberty
YESSS I WANNA WATCH BONHOEFFER SO BADðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
And yes, Liberty, I have written 2 novels with Leon/Riker as the MCs. The Broken and Redeemed Trilogy is solely theirs.
Book 1 is out already and has been published since July this year, and the 2nd one will (HOPEFULLY…we’ll just have to see😅) be released sometime Spring/Summer 2025. ✨
This is the basic blurb (there’s a bit more up on Amazon but it’s really long so I didn’t want to post the whole thing rn😅) for Book #1, Freedom’s Fire:
Leon Wagner, a determined Jewish man, finds himself trapped in the brutal reality of a Nazi concentration camp. With every ounce of his strength, he clings to the belief that he will be reunited with his beloved wife, Aadelheide, and their children. In a world where mercy is scarce, Leon’s unwavering faith becomes his lifeline. Through beatings, starvation, and the constant threat of death, Leon’s journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of faith.
Riker Schind, an SS officer, struggles with his conscience as he uncovers the horrific truths behind the regime he serves. Haunted by his past and the role he plays in the suffering around him, Riker’s journey towards redemption is fraught with peril and soul-searching decisions. His encounters with prisoners, especially with Leon, challenge his beliefs and force him to confront the darkness within his own soul.
It’s available on Amazon in Hardcover, EBook, and Paperback forms✨
A few people here on KP have already read it among others I know elsewhere, including Ellette😜
Now the formatting for Freedom’s Fire is…well, messed up bc I didn’t yet know that Amazon’s paid publishing route or whatever it is was just a scam and none of them were actually professionals😬 but there are so many people that have loved Freedom’s Fire despite its faults, which means so much to me🥹
If you wanted to have a look, this is the link (just delete the space after the h)
