Praise for Deborah Swift: 'Real history in the raw, heart-pounding drama, bone-chilling danger, intrigue, romance, and characters to love and fear...Last Train to Freedom has it all. Don't miss the ride!' LANCASHIRE POST 'A thrilling, immersive and beautifully written historical novel that will resonate long after the last page is turned. Highly recommended' MARIUS GABRIEL 'This impeccably researched wartime thriller had me gripped from the opening pages - I loved it. My pulse was racing and at times my heart broke as Nancy's intelligence operation in The Hague grew more dangerous by the day' ELIZA GRAHAM 'Taut, compelling and beautifully written - I loved it!' DAISY WOOD 'A fast-paced, exciting read ... kept me reading late on several nights. Will appeal to all lovers of both romance and wartime novels' KATHLEEN McGURL 'Had me gripped from beginning to end ... Swift portrays the last desperate months of the war in Holland so vividly I found it hard to put Operation Tulip down' EVA GLYN 'I loved it. The book is fast-paced and page turning, and at times has the quality of a thriller.' ANN BENNETT 'A nail-biting read from start to finish. Edge-of-your-seat action and a desperate romance make this a must for WW2 fiction fans' TESSA HARRIS 'Tense and thought-provoking' CATHERINE LAW 'A fascinating and original read. Swift's research is, as always, impeccable' CATHERINE HOKIN 'Swift explores what it feels like to live in a state of constant fear in anticipation and what it means to lose one's home, family, nation, identity and sense of belonging... Her inclusion of wider contextual details brings to life the world beyond the immediate plot and characters, making the story even more immersive.' ASPECTS OF HISTORYMore details

Person
I write historical fiction, a genre I love. I loved the Victorian classics such as Jane Eyre, Little Women, Lorna Doone and Wuthering Heights. As I child I loved to read and when I had read my own library books, I used to borrow my mother's library copies of Anya Seton and Daphne du Maurier. I have loved reading historical novels ever since; though I'm a bookaholic and I read widely - contemporary and classic fiction as well as historicals.
In the past I used to work as a set and costume designer for theatre and TV, so I enjoy the research aspect of creating historical fiction, something I loved doing as a scenographer. Each book takes about six months of research before I am ready to begin writing. More details of my research and writing process can be found on my website. I like to write about extraordinary characters set against the background of real historical events.
