Winterkill ARCs Writing Winterkill, set during the Holodomor in 1930s Ukraine, was a gut-wrenching experience. I thought I was writing history, but mere weeks after finishing the final edit, Putin launched a genocidal campaign against Ukraine and the world inspired by Stalin’s actions in the Holodomor.There is satisfaction in holding this book in my hands and I look forward to September 6th when it will be born. I pray that Putin’s war will be history by then. What we forget we do repeat. Author: Marsha I write historical fiction, mostly from the perspective of young people who are thrust in the midst of war. View all posts by Marsha
