 Releases

August 15^th saw the release of THE HALLS OF BUCHANNAN – the story of two brothers and the woman caught between them.  From New Orleans to Ireland, it explores love and hate and what happens when someone perceives a wrong and it festers over time and what happens to those closest to. 

Dark vs. Light, Evil vs. Good – age old battles.

In October, the fourth book of the Southern Legacies series releases. 

What happens when a nation is torn apart and one piece of jewelry has the power to change history?  Jordan Winthrop owns the Bloodstones, a set of garnets and diamonds which could literally save one side or the other in the Civil War.  Russell Steele has orders to get her and the “prize” to safety but he has a high price on his head for his exploits as the Gray Hawk, one of Davis’ spies.  One man could stand in the way of his succeeding in his mission and their happiness.
