Joanne Kormylo, The Resistance Daughter
Joanne Kormylo’s debut novel, THE RESISTANCE DAUGHTER, is a work of historical fiction inspired by true stories. She is the daughter of a WWII bomber pilot and prisoner of war. As part of her research for this novel, she studied her late father’s Wartime Log, interviewed veterans, served on the board of an Air Force Museum, and traveled to the UK, Poland, and Germany. Joanne holds both an MA and a JD, leading to a career as a lawyer and business owner. She has one daughter, Andrea, and resides in Western Canada.
Two years ago, I interviewed Joanne because her story TWO KNOTS was nominated by Crime Writers of Canada for the Award for Best Unpublished Manuscript sponsored by ECW Press in 2023.
Since then, the title changed to THE RESISTANCE DAUGHTER and it’s been published by Hodder & Stoughton publishers in the UK.
