Kassandra: A Tale of Love, War, and One Woman’s Destiny
This is the tale of Kassandra, born in Athens, Greece, in the 4th century BC, and her transition from a frightened but determined girl into a formidable warrior—a path of trust and betrayal, love and loss, joy and heartbreak—the story of a woman who challenges the very gods of Greece to find happiness.
Kassandra was just ten years old when her mother spirited her away in the middle of the night to avoid an arranged marriage, traveling until they reached the mountains the Greeks believed belonged to Zeus. There, her mother left her alone, telling her she must climb the mountains, a feat no man had accomplished, to find the secret band of warrior women who were free—the Amazons.
Thus begins Kassandra’s journey, a journey that will take her from the battlefields of Persia to Athens at the height of its glory and ultimately fulfill her destiny.

The Confederates' Physician
(Book 1 of the Confederates' Physician Series)
When she is captured by the Confederacy, she’s given a choice: treat the Confederate wounded and be branded a traitor by her own people, or refuse and be among the hundreds buried in a common grave on the battlefield.
The year is 1863, and the United States is entering the third year of the Civil War. Young Samantha Carter, recently educated as a physician in Paris, defies her father, disguises herself as a boy, and runs away to enlist in the Union Medical Corps. On her way there, she is captured by a Confederate patrol. When the commanding officer, Major Ethan Winters-Hunt, discovers that the Yankee “boy” is a capable surgeon, he forces her to serve as a surgeon for the Confederate Army. Samantha is unprepared for the horrors of battle and finds she must draw upon the strength and native mysticism imbued in her as a child, running wild on the Western Frontier with the Lakota Indians. She must maintain her disguise under rigorous conditions. She is loyal to the Union, and yet she must save the lives of enemy soldiers. As Ethan takes “Sam” from her first battlefield experience in Virginia to the defense of Atlanta, a tenuous friendship develops between them. Eventually, Samantha’s identity as a young woman is discovered. The Confederates’ Physician is an epic love story that takes the reader back to the bloodiest time in American History—when families were torn apart, loyalties were tested, and innocence was lost.
Diary of the Confederates' Physician
(Book 2 of the Confederates' Physician Series)
Samantha left a diary telling of her life during and after the Civil War, culminating with her death near the end of the century. Now, Augusta, her sixth-generation-granddaughter, faces danger in the land of Samantha’s childhood.
Augusta Winters-Hunt is accustomed to intimidation and threats. As an equine humane investigator, it goes with the territory. When she is sent to the Dakotas to investigate the treatment of the wild Mustangs, the threats begin almost immediately upon her arrival. This time, however, it’s different. The opposing counsel for the group is Daniel Many Horses, the man who devastatingly changed her life years ago. When her life is threatened, she must decide who to trust—Daniel, the man who betrayed her years ago, or the mysterious Lakota Spirits that her sixth-generation-grandmother, Samantha, wrote about in her diary.
As Augusta reads the diary detailing Samantha’s life before and after the US Civil War, she feels a deep kinship with her grandmother, who lived over 150 years ago. She is both horrified by the brutality Samantha endured and inspired by Samantha’s strength and courage. She is grateful for the diary Samantha left behind, not realizing Samantha left more than a diary. Samantha left a legacy—a powerful legacy waiting to be claimed.
Touch The Sky
(Book 1 of the Touch the Sky Series)
What if you could see into the past and uncover an ancient secret so threatening that it was deliberately erased from human history. Would you risk your life to understand the secret?
What if you could see into the past and uncover a mysterious, secret ability of an ancient, select group of Bronze Age people—a secret deliberately erased from human history? Jennifer Bracken is visiting the British Museum in London when she falls, hitting her head. While unconscious, she sees life through the eyes of a young priestess from a long-ago Bronze Age civilization. Assuming the experience was the result of striking her head, she discounts the episode and goes to visit her best friend in Scotland. There, at the foothills of The Highlands, the visions return, both frightening and compelling. Each time they occur, Jennifer is drawn deeper into the young priestess Cela’s life. Driven to discover if such a Bronze Age society ever existed, she enlists the help of noted archaeologist, Derek Rannoch. Derek is astonished by Jennifer’s detailed descriptions of that era. He demands to see the source of her information in exchange for his assistance. Jennifer refuses. As Derek and Jennifer’s turbulent—and often antagonistic—relationship develops, Jennifer is inexplicably drawn to him, feeling safe in his presence, but safe from what? Touch the Sky takes the reader on a mesmerizing trip back and forth between the Bronze Age and contemporary times—a trip that will challenge our notion of science and reality and affirm our belief in the immortality of love.
Daughter of the Sky
(Book 2 in the Touch the Sky Series)
Two women. Their lives separated by 500 years, yet mysteriously connected. What will Jennifer risk to finally find answers? Will she risk her life?
Nine months have passed since Jennifer fell unconscious while at the British Museum and began seeing life through the eyes of Bronze Age Priestess Cela. Those visions have finally ended, and Jennifer is hoping she can resume a normal life. That wish is not to be. The visions have returned, and Jennifer’s life is, once again, thrown into turmoil.
This time, Jennifer sees Lady Gwenivere Tudor, the illegitimate daughter of King Henry VIII of England. The year is 1522.

Kidnapped by a masked renegade, Gwenivere finds she is a pawn in a dangerous game and must rely on her inner strength and intellect to survive.
Emboldened by Gwenivere’s courage, Jennifer, with noted archaeologist Derek Rannoch by her side, begins her own journey to find the truth of who or what she is. But this time, it is not Cela from the Bronze Age or Lady Gwenivere from the Middle Ages whose life is in danger—it is Jennifer’s.
