'The Welsh Marches is an evocative place. Full of mystery, history, and tiny old houses, it leads easily into Wales - a perfect place to write and to set romantic novels with mysteries and crimes embedded in them.'
This is how Wilma summarises the inspiration for her four novels in the Welsh Marches series and the forty-nine short stories which follow and make up Sevens, Stories to Commute By.
Luckily for her, she was able to escape to this scenic area and begin to write. It is not a gift that many people are given, but with a tiny cottage of her own, an accompanying cottage garden and a husband who is handy with a computer and a coffee pot, the opportunity was too good to ignore.

The Welsh Marches
|
Royston Thomas has two secrets. He has an excellent skill in Morse Code although he doesn't think it is all that remarkable. And, he hates the idea of conflict so much that when World War II finally breaks out, he becomes a conscientious objector. These two things draw him to the attention of people he assumes to be British intelligence. They train him in Russian and in code breaking. Then they send him to Russia, to work on British Embassy radio traffic and secretly spy for the government. The Great Patriotic War soon overtakes him and his work. One after the other he loses the morals that make him who he is: his horror of human conflict is dulled by what he witnesses; out of necessity, he learns to accept the machinery of war, strong drink and bad language, even if it is in Russian. He retains his loathing for killing, but loses even that in desperate times; and then when he meets Yeva he loses his heart. When the war ends, he realises the treachery he has been subjected to and must find a way to save the things he values most. He must make a terrible choice.
Author Wilma Hayes lives and works in the Welsh Marches and Red Snow is the third in a series from this beautiful area of the United Kingdom. The first two books: Freeing My Sisters and Secrets Lies Legacies begin the stories.
