Published Books on Amazon and Kindle
I am what is labled an Indie Author which means I independently publish my own books.  I love writing partly because it is so challenging but mostly because I love to create characters.  At the moment, I have nine books published and am working on a new one.  My love for writing historical fiction romances is from my love of history and the fact that I am a total romantic. 

The Visitor Series
This is a historical romance story that is broken down into 6 books of the life of a young Virginian girl, Mirisa Eppes.
As the Civil War begins to invade their plantation along the Chesapeake River, Dr. Eppes sends his daughter to Natchez, Mississippi, to wait out the war under the protection of the dangerous and hardened Dominic Lanfear.
The story is filled with compromise, Mirisa's naive and loving nature and Dominic's inability to not have her for himself despite his doubts about whether he could be a good husband.
Mirisa path crosses with the haunted mansion where her bond to Dominic's ancestors and the strong Indian spirit, Conrad, leads her into danger and adventure unimaginable by the young girl.   Conrad remains her protector until the end of life as she struggles with loving him and hating him for he forces her to understand the changes of her life.
The four men hired by her father to protect her are dangerous, devout womanizers, rich, cunning, loyal and ill prepared to handle Mirisia.
The close friendship of Dominic, James, Garnett and Meeks weaves a relationship with Mirisa which none of them are able to ever escape. 
This story is about four hardened men and one beautiful girl who lays open her heart.

SHORT STORIES
Is a collection of very short stories about love, sex and rock and roll.
Very ecelectic and unusual little stories.
YESTERDAY'S GONE
Is a story about six lawyers whose bond starts as young children and challenges them when a friend is suspected of murder. 

MY LATEST BOOK - JOHN ELLERY'S DAUGHTERS - BEGINS DURING THE CIVIL WAR WHEN FIVE YOUNG SISTERS ARE ORPHANED WHEN THEIR FATHER DISAPPEARS.  THIS STORY CROSSES OVER WITH THE VISITOR SERIES BUT BRINGS FORTH THE LIVES OF THE FIVE SISTERS AS THEY LEAVE BEHIND THE HORRORS OF WAR AND SET OUT TO FIND PEACE.  THIS WILL BE A SERIES INTO THEIR LIVES.

 
I have a Google blog that leans more toward my writing and an Author's Page on Goodreads as well as a fan page "The Visitor Fan Page" on Facebook.
