Many readers have suggested I publish my award-winning books as audiobooks. Then, when a NY Times Award-winning author said, “Peter, do it!”  I decided to get the project rolling.

Litany Of Sorrows

Karl von Richter, a handsome young man working in a German foundry, is injured while skiing in the Italian Alps and then nursed to health by attractive Katrina Amorino. They fall in love, and she moves to his home on Lake Constance, unaware Germany is preparing for war. As she arrives, Karl enters SS Officer Training School, where he is radicalized by Nazi propaganda, leads a group of young Nazi officers in Kristallnacht, and begins implementing Hitler's Final Solution to eliminate Jews and other deplorables.

As WWII ends, Karl’s last Nazi task in Berlin fails. He heads home but finds his parents dead and Katrina and their child missing. His conscience reawakens as he begins his search for Katrina, who is hiding and agonizing over her impetuous decisions - her litany of sorrows for decades to come.

Will Katrina’s and Karl’s conflict be resolved? What becomes of Katrina’s relationship with Luca? Will Katrina ever find her son?
