Sergei Kourdakov, a former KGB agent and Soviet naval intelligence officer, defected from the USSR at the age of twenty. A year later we met at my Federal Government office in Washington DC. We were watched and followed. “Even you could be spy,” Sergei whispered. My book, A Rose for Sergei, is the true story of our time together.

A Rose for Sergei | Book Promotion



A Rose for Sergei

by K. Kidd 



Sergei Kourdakov is a real person.  Alone at a young age, he was raised in Soviet orphanages.  In that oppressive environment, he learned that only the strong survive—leading him to become the strongest and the best at whatever he did.  Sergei’s job in the Russian police was to inflict terror on Christians.  He defected when he could no longer face the life he was leading.  He was incredibly strong and jumped ship when his Russian trawler was off the coast of Tasu Sound, Canada.  He barely survived his treacherous swim in the stormy ocean.  Sergei and I met a year later, at my Federal Government office in Washington DC, and that’s where my story begins.

Excerpts from Reviews:

“I could feel the fear.  I could feel the love.  I could feel the heartbreak.”
—Lynn via Amazon

“I absolutely loved this story.  It is a true story.  From the very first chapter the story just grabs you and keeps your interest.  In Russia sending a red rose to someone means their heart is bleeding for you….  It is such an emotional story.  You will become attached to the characters.”
—Erin via justagirlkindling

  1. Sent the promotion on to a friend! Thanks for running it at such a good price- if I had a kindle I'd buy it, but sadly this gal's eyes can't read on computers very well. :P

    1. Emily, Thank you for recommending my book! This is the longest promotion I've run on Amazon.US. Next time I plan to run a book promo in another country. Canada perhaps?
