Novels by M.K.Tod
Stories of resilience, strength, and hope
War is an insidious beast that lingers long after the last shot is fired. Humanity is stretched to the breaking point. Definitions of right and wrong become unhinged and even carefully buried memories can erupt at a moment’s notice.
Researching and writing novels set during wars – the siege of Paris, WWI and WWII – has been a revelation. Each story allowed me to explore the human dimension of ordinary people involved in extraordinary times – the profound effect of war on men and women, on relationships and friendships, on life and love. They’ve made me ask questions like: could I have been so brave? how would I have coped? would love have survived or been crushed in the aftermath?
My most recent novel, That Was Then, tackles conflict of another sort: sexual assault and its impact on those who experience it as well as the turmoil and power struggles of today’s politics.

The Admirals Wife
The Admiral’s Wife is my fifth novel and the first to be set in a time without war. It’s a dual timeline story that asks questions like: Where is home? What is family? What might I sacrifice for love?
