Love In Ruins
When the main character dies in the first ten pages, where can a story go from there? Primarily: to Hell and back again. But there is a price for returning from The Road, for coming back from the dead. Olivia Claria Severus is a patrician woman in Ancient Italy. She is a senator’s daughter, a senator’s wife, and now, at nineteen, a mother at last. Her troubles begin with her son’s birth and her death mere moments later. She finds herself on The Road to the River Styx to await the Ferryman, but before she even has her fare or sees the ripples in the water heralding the approaching boat, she is ripped back to the world of the living and into her weakened body. It is then that she learns the truth about Aeschylus, her aged playwright: He is a vampire, and now, so is she. Unfortunately, something at the river with power saw her, and covets her for its own, and will do ANYTHING to get her.
What follows is an unlife in constant flux. Vesuvius erupts, burying her beneath its hot, stony blanket. When Olivia wakes again she is in a museum less than a year from the turning of the second millennium. Surrounded by strange people in a strange time and pursued relentlessly by an unknown presence, she finds herself caught in the midst of a four hundred year old Scottish clan feud, the current epicenter of a bloody triangle. She finds love and comfort in James Alexander MacLeod while being hunted by his rival, Bruce 'The Butcher' MacDonald, but is it enough to save her from a creature older than Fair Rome herself who has pursued her for nearly two thousand years?

Mercy's Ransom
Margaret Taft is the silver-haired captain’s mistress who desperately needs rescuing. ?Mad? Jack Wyndlam is the one man capable of doing that, but his interest is only in pirate’s gold. Silver meets gold, spinning a legendary tale unlike any heard before on the high seas.
Margaret Taft has a fantastic secret. Pale of hair and skin with a silvery voice to match she has endured life as the ill-used mistress of British Navy Captain Ambrose Price. The only way she can return home is to find a magical pearl stolen by the pirates aboard the Mercy’s Ransom. When she meets the man with the golden aura, she knows he is the only man who could save her. Trouble is: will she be able to let him go?
'Handsome' Jack is a gentleman pirate just looking for a fight. Thrown off his own ship by a treacherous hand he is seeking a ship to bear him on a bloody mission of revenge. Then he comes face to face with a silvery woman offering him everything: escape from the noose, a ship, plus the sunken treasure of the fabled Ana Maria Salvador. All he has to do is find her one solitary grey pearl. It sounds so simple. But he never bargained for the feelings she drew from him as easy as breathing. He never counted on being unwilling to let her go. In the end, he knew it was more than his honor at stake. It was his soul.
The Speaker
She’s a native wonder worker. He’s a white man fascinated with the histories and migrations of the First Nations. She can speak to animals. He can….not be touched by magic at all. Which is a good thing. Because an arrogant young mage with too much power for anybody’s good has just leveled his sights on her, and will stop at nothing to possess her.
The Speaker is a tale of magic, both Native and Traditional, wonders and friendship which knows no species boundaries. Steeped in legend and stewed in a little bit of historical mythos, this story is a battlefield between two men, between spirits dark and darker over the possession of one woman of power.
