Her novella, Trail’s End, in “Smitten Novella Collection: The Cowboys” is set in the wild cattle town of Abilene, Kansas, in 1870. He’d been unable to save his own brother. How could he hope to save Abby’s?

Not This Year in “Christmas Fiction Off the Beaten Path,” is a heartwarming, nostalgic story of a hardworking family man facing difficult times at Christmas.

Her Civil War Romance, A Musket in My Hands, is 2019 Serious Writer Medal Fiction Winner and a 2019 Selah Awards Finalist. Two sisters have no choice but to join the men they love and muster into the Confederate army and in the fall of 1864—in time for things to go very badly for Southerners at the Battle of Franklin.

Her second Civil War romance novel, A Rebel in My House, 2018 Illumination Silver Award, released on July 15, 2017. A wounded Confederate soldier on the first day of battle leaves a Gettysburg seamstress with a heart-wrenching decision. Both have made promises. Some promises are impossible to keep.

Her debut book, A Stranger On My Land, IRCA Second Place 2015 and Christian Small Publishing Book of the Year 2016 Finalist, is the first book in a Civil War Romance series published by Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas. Should she turn her back on the wounded Union soldier?

Her novella, Surprised by Love in “From the Lake to the River” is set during the 1913 flood in Troy, Ohio. Unlikely heroes often rise up during tragedy.
