Here’s the set-up:

Professor Anthony Barton was born and raised in a navy family. His mother served in the W.R.N.S. and his father in HMS Tiger. Barton’s stirring tales starring Corrie Harriman demonstrate his respect for the women and men who serve. He thinks it a great disgrace that the women who joined the navy in the time of Nelson have been belittled or ignored by historians and novelists. He says: ‘Hats off to those brave and untiring women! Their service was as exemplary as it was precarious.’ In his stirring tales about Corrie the author seeks to set the record straight.

Corrie is serving in the Royal Navy. She is an officer in the frigate Swift during the war with Napoleon. Because women are not supposed to serve, she has borrowed a spare uniform from her friend and fellow midshipman Tom Potts and has dressed herself as a man, having been encouraged to do so by the ship’s commanding officer, Captain Redburn, who is well aware that she is a woman in disguise.

During her first night watch at sea, Corrie has taken the ship into a heavily fortified bay to burn three enemy coasters, but an unfortunate shift in the direction of the wind has left the ship trapped in the bay. Meanwhile the heavily gunned fort overlooking the bay has been manned by the French.

Corrie has devised a way to outwit the enemy, but can she convince the captain and his crew to follow her plan?

We find her deep in conversation with her friend Anne Keeper, otherwise known to the crew as ‘The White Lady.’ Corrie is rather surprised to learn that Anne is part of a world-wide network of woman working diligently behind the scenes to help win the war.

SAIL THE SEAS IN THIS ACTION-PACKED NAVAL ADVENTURE
OF HISTORICAL PROPORTIONS

England and France have declared war, and Corrie Harriman joins in on the action. Corrie’s War is a sixteen-part naval adventure series where Corrie joins the Royal Navy and must combat deadly enemies, navigate through hazardous storms, and even endure cruelty by the hands of her own crew. No one suspects that Corrie is actually a young woman—and she plans to keep it that way. But no secret lasts long in a crowded warship. Soon everybody knows her secret, including the wicked Master at Arms.

Here’s the set-up:

In 1970, Lenny can no longer deny that his wife is undergoing a profound change. Despite her relatively young age, her mind succumbs to forgetfulness. Now, he goes as far back as the moment he met Natasha during WWII, when he was a wounded warrior and she—a star, brilliant yet illusive. Natasha was a riddle to him then, and to this day, with all the changes she has gone through, she still is.

“Digging into the past, mining its moments, trying to piece them together this way and that, dusting off each memory of Natasha, of how we were, the highs and lows of the music of us, to find out where the problem may have started?”

To their son, Ben, that may seem like an exercise in futility. For Lenny, it is a necessary process of discovery, one that is as tormenting as it is delightful. He often wonders: can we ever understand, truly understand each other—soldier and musician, man and woman, one heart and another? Will we ever again dance together to the same beat? Is there a point where we may still touch?

This is a WWII romance going back and forth between England to the US, touching upon the plight of war brides. It is a wounded warrior romance, which can be read as a standalone novel as well as part of one of family sagas best sellers. Still Life with Memories is a family saga series tinged with family saga romance, fraught with marital issues, and wrapped with a second chance at love.

Here’s the set-up:

There’s no place like home at Christmas.

Jerricha Ballard has the voice of an angel and the ability to write songs that can melt the heart. She’s been the lead singer of pop/rock band Jericho for the past seven years, and she’s tired. Tired of the games. Tired of the parties. Tired of writing empty music.

Logan James is a former football star who has always secretly admired Jerricha’s tremendous gift. But when he was in high school, he’d been bound by the best friend motto and not allowed to act on his feelings. Now, she’s back and this time, no restrictions are being placed on his heart.

But Logan’s been hurt before and he doesn’t want a repeat performance. He takes things slowly, but then Jerricha needs him to come to her rescue and they spend more time together, he can’t stop thinking about what a future with her might be like.

Jerricha is at a crossroad and needing to make some life-altering decisions. Will one of those decisions include Logan?

Come along to the sleepy little town of Warm Springs, Wyoming. Will Logan and Jerricha get their problems all figured out, or compound them? Is there a future out there for both of them, or is that only a silly dream?

Here’s the set-up:

Philomena Davenport is shocked at her first sight of Breckenhill Keep, the monstrous ruin she had inherited from the father who had deserted her as a child. Even more shocking was the mysterious stipulation in the will that required her to remain at the Keep for three months, before she could claim her inheritance. How could she do that when the Guardian of the Keep, the handsomely daunting Byron Carstairs, wants her gone, and the spine chilling howls echoing up from the bowels of the ruin urge her to escape while she still can? But Phil is made of firmer stuff than that. She will take on the denizens of this dark domain, and make the place her own. No monster or man would keep her from it, and only love could drive her away.
For Byron, Phil is a light in the darkness of his duty-bound life. He had never expected to meet someone as beautiful, courageous or compassionate as she. In only days, she manages to spin her magic around the hearts of all who dwell within the sanctuary. But no matter how much they needed her, it is no kindness to keep her there. She deserved far better than a burdened man and a castle filled with monsters. For her own good, he must drive her light from his dark life.

Here’s the set-up:

Wanting out of a world where things go bump in the night might be harder than expected.

Jax had a life that consisted of endless moving to hunt the creatures of the night that feed on unsuspecting humans. He has only ever known life as a hunter raised by his single, night human hunter mother. The only problem is, to be a full member of the hunter clan, you need to be female. As he comes to realize there’s no place for a son in the matriarchal hunter world, Jax decides it’s time to take off on his own and see where he came from. Perhaps his father’s side of the family would be more willing to have a place for a son… but first he needs to find his father.

A road trip to follow the source of an inheritance his mother had hidden from him his whole life leads Jax to New Orleans and a clan of night humans that were thought to be extinct. The Vampyre have been gone for close to two decades since their leader mysteriously disappeared. Jax wants to leave this night human filled world behind, but soon discovers that night humans are around every corner. While he does his best to not get involved, night humans tend to find him. Jax just wants to be ordinary, but fate has given him two options that are anything but ordinary. Luckily, fate will let him have a choice after all, but it is not as easy of a decision as he thought it would be.

1917- Empress Alexandria understands that the Bolsheviks will soon topple the Czar.

Alexandra informs her youngest daughter, Grand Duchess Anastasia, of the escape route necessary to carry on the Romanov Dynasty.

Kirik and Anastasia make perilous journeys across Siberia via the Trans-Siberian Railroad. Their story is told against a background of revolution, their hardscrabble life in the Russian village, constant fear of the Soviet secret police, and unscrupulous treasure-hunters.
