Margit Liesche is the daughter of Hungarian refugees who arrived in the States in 1947 following years of missionary service in war-torn central China. Weaned on her parents' tales of adventure and escape, intrigue is part of her DNA. So it was that when she began plotting her debut Pucci Lewis WWII home front mystery, LIPSTICK AND LIES, she couldn't help transmitting what she had absorbed into the story's events and characters, inspired by a little-known true incident of home front espionage.
HOLLYWOOD BUZZ, second in the series, finds Pucci in Hollywood taking on fascist operatives determined to subvert Hollywood's silver screen contributions to the war effort. Margit's passion is weaving actual events and historical figures into fiction. In the Pucci series, she set out to cast much deserved sunlight on the band of flying sisters, the Women Airforce Service Pilots or WASP. In recovery from a long career in marketing professional services, Margit is doing what she loves: writing, tramping the glorious hills of Marin County CA, and frequenting the stacks at her favorite bookstores and libraries. A novel loosely based on her family history is in the works.  |
