Keep your eyes on @annamorrisonmorgan.bsky.social as she crafts her upcoming novel...

Author Anna M. @annamorrisonmorgan.bsky.social · 27d

She gently touched the Deutches Rotes Kreuz Brooch on her collar with her forefinger. "My Parents gave it to me for my fifteenth birthday. I was so proud of it...but I can't wear it anymore... I am proud of the Red Cross, but not of the Swastika."
My new WIP. You like?
