KIMBERLY FISH
Genre: Historical Fiction / WWII / Spies
Publisher: Fish Tales, LLC
Date of Publication: June 16, 2018
In 1943, Lane Mercer and Emmie Tesco had nothing in common. Well, nothing stronger than a town neither of them chose and careers they couldn’t advertise as agents within the Office of Strategic Services. During the days of Longview, Texas’s Friendly Trek Homecoming Parade, Lane was gearing up for the grand opening of a bookshop that also disguised an espionage safe house, and Emmie was chasing a criminal with evil intent through the US Army’s new medical facility, Harmon General Hospital, treating diseased and amputated soldiers. Emmie ropes Lane into international threats at Harmon General, making it increasingly hard for the two spies to navigate the Junior Service League, church life, or anything else that might be considered normal for a town sizzling with oil boom wealth. A friend from Lane’s past arrives and pushes against the fiction she’s created to distance her spy history from the wedding bells ringing her future. Emmie flirts with the idea of finding a life outside of the OSS but justifies the danger as a way to make amends for those she’s betrayed. Connecting the two women, to their surprise, is a rogue agent who targets them for crimes he believes they created. For better, or worse, they have to put aside their differences to share responsibility for stopping “The Grasshopper” before he blows apart the Big Inch Pipeline project and Harmon General Hospital. The hope of malaria treatments for US soldiers depends on it, and justice of the heart demands it.
PRAISE FOR HARMON GENERAL:
"The war that changed the world brought the world to East Texas through Harmon General, a significant US Army hospital that treated thousands of wounded soldiers in Longview. In Harmon General, we meet again Lane Mercer, a World War II heroine, and we enjoy again how the drama of her secret service to the nation and her complicated personal relationships pull us into the vast impact of the world war." -- Dale Lunsford, Ph.D., President, LeTourneau University
“Harmon General is a brilliant story for historical fiction readers! Set in World War II, the female spies, Army hospital setting, and drama amongst the Longview townsfolk kept me riveted and engaged until the very end.” - Jody T. Morse

EXCERPT FROM HARMON GENERAL
BY KIMBERLY FISH
“Mr. Lassiter says I have to give customers three reasons to come to my shop, so I’m thinking through what else someone might need when they’re on the hunt for a good book. In these days of rations, I think cookies would be a plus.”
Molly narrowed her papery lids. “Do you spend a lot of time with Mr. Lassiter? I’ve always thought he was a … confirmed bachelor.”
Lane didn’t know enough about J’s backstory, but she’d bet Molly had a dossier worthy of Theo’s files. Once she was past the machinations of her aunt, and the Junior Service League, she’d tackle getting Molly’s information.
“At the moment, he’s my business professor,” Lane said. “But if there’s something you feel I need to know, don’t hold back.”
“Nonsense, dear.” Molly clutched her belt. Her mouth pinched as if lunch was coming back to repeat. “I’m sure he’s a lovely man. He’s just not from around here, now is he?”
The more Lane lived in Longview, the more she understood the caste system. Outsiders were a commodity best endured with distance.
