The Rockland Chronicles

The Rockland Chronicles / Most of my books fit under this main heading--a fictional metropolis and its suburbs in an unnamed state. Many sub-series and stand-alone titles fall into this series.

Sight Unseen Series / When people begin waking in Rockland with an inexplicable amnesiac episode, lives are changed and the medical community becomes alarmed. Christian fiction with a hint of mystery and exploring romance from another angle.

Character Setting Inspirations

Character Setting Inspirations / Writing means that I have characters who not only exist but live and work and play in SETTINGS! So from Alexa Hartfield's cottage, to the inspiration for Wynnewood, to the little church in Yountville that proved almost identical to the one I'd imagined in my mind from Deepest Roots of the Heart... here are things that inspire my character settings.

Favorite Children's and Youth Fiction

New Year's Revolutions

Christmas Embers

Christmas Embers / A little boy's Christmas wish, the agony of seeing friends going through the betrayal of adultery, the rush to find a man before it's too late, the unexpected and incomprehensible reach of the past into the present. Christmas Embers, 2016's Christmas novel. Romance, a dash of mystery, and a whole lot of the Lord's grace and love. Christian fiction that is a little harder hitting than most Christmas novels.

Christmas Fiction & Inspiration

Christmas Fiction & Inspiration / Every year I write a Christmas book for release on "Black Friday." These are always Christian fiction and usually set in Rockland.
