Welcome!

Whether this is your first or fiftieth visit to my web site, I'm glad you're here and hope you'll return occasionally to see what's new.

Do you enjoy historical novels with a faith element? I certainly do; that's the reason I write them. I love transporting readers to earlier times and telling stories of the healing power of love.

One of my greatest pleasures as an author is hearing from readers, and so I encourage you to let me know your reaction to my books. If you have questions, or if there's something else you'd like to see on this web site, send me an email. 

What's New?

Scattered Petals, the second of the Texas Dreams books, is in its final stages of production. Even though it's not in the bookstores yet, it is available for pre-ordering. I've included a link to Amazon. It's also available at B&N and Christian Book Distributors.

Since so many of you have asked about this book, I've included a teaser and an excerpt . I also want to assure you that, although the Texas Dreams are part of a series, they can be read in any sequence. My pet peeves include books where I feel like an outsider because I haven't read them in the order they were written, so I've made sure that you'll enjoy the second and third stories even if you haven't read Paper Roses.

Even though it's been in print for a year now, the reviews for Paper Roses continue to come in. Needless to say, I'm delighted.

If you're a member of a book club, I hope you'll consider my books as one of your selections. I've posted discussion questions for Paper Roses and will be adding some for Scattered Petals between now and March 1, which is the official publication date. And, if you have a speaker phone available, I'd be happy to participate via teleconference. To arrange that, send me an email. 

I've also posted my newsletters (four so far) on the Contact Page, but if you want to be sure to receive them, all it takes is an email.

I wish you a happy and healthy 2010.
