I am a pilot, aviation buff, and Warbird enthusiast and had heard about this book at the WW II Airshow / Fly-in at Reading PA this year. I actually got a chance to meet the author and learn about all the research she did for the book. So I ordered the book when I got back to Philly, and just have been so busy with a major merger at work that I wasn't able to find the down time to start reading it. But once I did, I wasn't able to put it down - went cover to cover in 2 days -and I have never done that before. The book is actually a quick read despite some of the technical areas. The characters are so well developed that I got into every aspect of Anna's and Doug's well being and if they were going to make it back to England --at all. Then there is a blockbuster of betrayal AND a traitor at the end that blows you away and you HAVE to know who did what to whom etc. - and before you know its 3 AM. Exciting, fast paced, just technical and detailed enough to cement it all together, part History Channel, totally absorbing - would make a great movie or TV series. I started off my Holiday shopping by buying 6 more copies for gifts for family and friends. Yea, I know all about Kindle, but I am still kinda hooked on the feel and sound of the paper - and I can also make little margin notes to go look up a certain types of aircraft or other WW II details that I found interesting.Great read for anyone from 15 to 95+. Can't wait for the sequel.

Anna Secret Legacy edition by SA Williams Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This is difficult for me, as I met the author in person when she was selling the book during a street fair in D.C. She is a very nice and enthusiastic lady who signed my copy and asked for feedback. In my previous life I was a Naval aviator, and I now integrate secure command, control and intelligence communications systems for senior military and civilian leadership, so I thought this would be a book I could enjoy. However the main characters are shallow, formulaic and stereotypical, both the dialogue and grammar are atrocious and the plot is a childish attempt to string together unrealistic events into an unbelievable timeline. If you would like to read a quality work of this genre I recommend either "The Russia House" or "The Little Drummer Girl" by John le Carre' (or actually anything by John le Carre'). I am sorry Ms. Williams, but I have to recommend that next time you have a literate individual with a solid background in English proof your copy.

Anna's Secret Legacy to Saratoga for Signings
By Marion Altieri
It's an historical novel. It's a love story. It's frightening, and exhilarating. It's a tale of modern-day alchemy, and the possible blessings and damnations that come from that discovery.
When S.A. Williams set out on the journey to pen a novel, she had no idea that the experience would take her around the world and deep into the research of sulphur water; the Second World War; Norway's role--and then into the mind of Anna, a brilliant young research scientist. Anna's birth in Williams' mind as the protagonist came after much serious reflection and investigation she was born of her author's desire to enliven a character whose background and circumstances were timeless, that is, universal, and therefore could be embraced by female and male, old and young, at any time in history. Anna has discovered something that has the potential to either heal humanity or eliminate it. To carry this burden around at any time would be more than most humans could bear to hold this secret in your heart during the early days of Hitler's assault on Europe would have been more than the human heart could contain.
(Authors see a storyline unfolding in their heads, but a tale such as Anna's Secret Legacy is an archetypal lesson and should not be categorized as being "mere entertainment." The characters are set in a certain place and time--a profoundly difficult and painful time, in a shell-shocked place--but the decisions they must tackle, and obstacles they encounter are those of the transcendent Everyman.)
Williams created the characters and the plot, but she was guided by the Platonic concept of the Forms she had a story to tell, an intriguing fiction built on history and exhaustive research. This is the reason why people and situations that happened 70 years ago in the book speak strongly and directly to us in the 21st Century. This is our story we may never be faced with the necessity of making decisions that affect millions of lives, but because of the sameness of The Human Condition, we can relate intimately and directly to Anna's quandary, and therefore--to her fear.
Synchronicities--meaningful coincidences--brought people and circumstances across Williams' path, compelling her to delve into research that she might never have anticipated before beginning the project. Taking on World War II is a hefty assignment, in and of itself to do justice to the subject, detailed study must be performed. The ability to meld these academic rigors with a believable love story in a compelling manner that did not come across as being cute was no doubt a challenge for the author it would have been so easy to go the easy route, and crank out a book of mindless drivel based on the same premises.
But her own strong academic background, in concert with her fascination with getting to the root of a question (be it intellectual or otherworldly)--dictated that her book not go the way of pulp fiction. A storyline like this, lacking intellectual endeavor and philosophical insight, could have easily slipped into the genre of paperback romance novels juicy heroine, dashing young pilot, same-old, same-old.
If the storyline of Anna's Secret Legacy feels a great deal like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, it's because both works speak to that part of us that loves a good thriller with boatloads of action--but which also walk that line between this very touchable world and the dimensions beyond. Indiana Jones took on the Ark of the Covenant and the question of scientific advancement over deeply-respected spiritual admonitions. Anna, on the other hand, has a heart to cure the ills of humans, and is in a very real sense an alchemist--straddling the uber-reality of her present circumstance and fear, and the realm where biology, chemistry and physics become spirit.
Anna's Secret Legacy is hot off the press written by S.A. Williams and published by Infinity Publishing, it is one of those books that cannot be put down until the last period at the end of the last (surprise) sentence. The contemporary historical fiction is so full of questions that give rise to more questions--we realize that, as saith Socrates, "All I know is that I know nothing." Williams began to write a book and in so doing, peeled away layers upon layers of information that led her to yet-more layers--and no doubt to a lifelong fascination with the alchemical history and secrets she uncovered. The learning process teaches us that great Socratic Truth, that the more we learn, the more we realize there is to learn. Anna's Secret Legacy is, in the most simplistic description, a terrific book. It is so much more that no mere book preview could do it justice the facts, secrets and philosophical quandaries contained in this tome are the things that propel a book from the best sellers' list to the land of Classic.
[S.A. Williams will do two book signings in Saratoga during Travers Week on Tuesday, the 24th, from 6 to 8 p.m. she'll sign at Siro's. On Thursday, the 26th, also from 6 to 8 p.m., Impressions will host the author for a signing. [...]
