After the Fog

A love story wrapped in historical drama…

The Last Letter

She wouldn’t have believed it if she hadn’t found the letter...

The Road Home

THE ROAD HOME...

Love and Other Subjects

In Love and Other Subjects Carolyn Jenkins strives for two things—to be the greatest teacher ever and to find love. She’s as skilled at both as an infant chowing down with a fork. Carolyn’s middle class upbringing and genuine compassion for people who don’t fit easily into society are no match for weapon-wielding, struggling students, drug-using colleagues, and a wicked principal.

Home Again

HOME AGAIN is a novella set in 1969 on the shores of the Albemarle Sound. April Harrington has fond memories of summers at her family home, Bliss. After her fairytale wedding disintegrates, it becomes her refuge—the one place where she can attempt to pull the unraveling threads of her life back together. Unbeknownst to April, the stately house has been neglected in recent years. The once-sturdy roof is leaking in a few dozen places, and the wharf is rotting. Nothing is the same as she remembers. Nothing except for Hale, a Viet Nam pilot who is haunted by a dreadful secret, and who is also her brother’s best friend, a brother killed in the conflict that is tearing the country apart.

Return to Love

Fresh off their whirlwind nuptials and unexpected, but joyous pregnancy, April and Hale Abercrombie are gleeful about their life together. But, while Hale is serving his country in Vietnam, he receives news of the loss of their newborn daughter.

Tending Her Heart

Sweet, Fun Romance--Set in 1971, nurse Julie Peters is ambitious and tenacious, but her plans to modernize Waterside Hospital's labor and delivery protocols are thwarted by old-school doctors and brown-nosing colleagues. The last thing on her mind is falling in love as she confronts her career-related demons. Still, she feels the pull of attraction to one special doctor.
