Around the World Historical Fiction Series

A Song in My Heart: “An extraordinary fusion of music and literature. Calatayud-Stocks deftly interweaves the themes of music, art, romance, passion, and history. A Song in My Heart leaves the readers anxious for the next installment.” Book Reviewer List.

A Symphony of Rivals: “A Suspenseful bridge to the final volume to a historical fiction series.” Kirkus Reviews

“Rich in romance and peril, this explores the intersection of art, gender and politics in the turbulent 1930s. At times, this has the page-turning pace and drama of a literary thriller, replete with terrifying peril as Alejandra must make agonizing, life-changing decisions, and domestic strife playing out alongside tangled political troubles.” Joanne Owen, A Love Reading, UK, Ambassador.

Third book in the series “An Unveiling Light of Beauty” coming soon.
