Dundee-born author

The Lindsays of Balcarres, A Century of an Ancient Scottish Family in Photographs by Ludovic Lindsay, is a fabulous book with great photos about this enigmatic family I descend from.

Dundee-born romance author Alinka Zyrmont laughs that there’s a simple reason why she became a writer – because she’s terrible at maths! As a pupil at Dundee’s Blackness School in the 1940s/50s where her mum was a teacher, she used to daydream a lot…

As Long As We Still Live

As Long As We Still Live
by Alicja Maria Zyrmont

I am ecstatic to inform my readers that after five long years of writing this book, it is finally available on Amazon.com for purchase in paperback and e-books. I tried to keep the price as low as I could so that history students could afford it.

When I found a bag full of old photographs that my mother had kept for years as her own secret, I displayed them on a table, and on the backs they had dates, places and names, and like a jigsaw puzzle a picture emerged, but there were many missing pieces of a story that was emerging about WW2...

4 star review
“Easily read and a good reference book.  A very useful reference book.”
Millar, U.K.
