Changes Coming Down – Changes Book 1 is now available on Smashwords and Amazon, with other retailers to follow. I had great fun revisiting Will, my quiet cowboy, Casey, the tough county sheriff, and Scott, a talented hockey player with his eyes fixed on the NHL. The book began as a challenge for a gift anthology, to write a story with those three main characters. It became a favorite excursion into mystery and the dynamics … Read more

I wrote Into Deep Waters and released it as a freebie in 2012. Since then I’ve had quite a few requests for it in paper format, and I finally decided to follow through. I appreciate the formatting help of Deb from Beaten Track Publishing (who also created a perfect period photo for the back cover.)

After a bit of hitch (because someone once uploaded a pirated copy to AZ, and they wanted to know if I had permission from the “original” publisher) we got things straightened out and it’s now live. I hope this will get … Read more
