Praise for THE LEGEND OF NIMWAY HALL: 1940 - JOSIE HEROES ON THE HOME FRONT "...I loved the wartime setting of this Nimway saga. Ms. Needham's protagonists are believable characters with strengths and follies common to all of us. It was certainly fun to see the ancient wonder of Nimue juxtaposed against World War II. I found Josie and Gideon very worthy additions to the Legend." Lise Smith, Amazon Reader, 5-stars "I loved Josie and I loved the Colonel and I loved the plot and I loved her father and honestly I just loved this book-" Iza Soares, Goodreads, 5-stars "Josie and Gideon both had a lot of depth and were very well matched. It was also great to see that Nimway was still thriving almost 200 years later; modernized but didn't lose any of its charm!"
