River Walker:
Any night La Llorona walks the river is a night to stay indoors.

One moonlit midnight, two very different women meet on the banks of the muddy Rio Grande. Grady Wrenn is a cultural anthropologist, enthralled by a local ghost story about a vengeful spirit known as the River Walker. Elena Montalvo, a spiritual healer, is that tortured spirit’s only defender. Together, Grady and Elena must find a way to end the River Walker’s murderous vendetta— and overcome a maze of cultural barriers to find each other.



Fireside:
Three extraordinary women share friendship, heal old wounds, and discover love while defending their own.

Mac, a therapist, Abby, a nurse, and Cleo, an attorney, bring their skills and dedication to Fireside, a domestic violence shelter in rural Virginia. The shelter, far more than just a "place," offers its residents a safe haven in which to heal and a community of women who will stand for them until they can stand for themselves. Mac and Abby, devoted to those they serve, discover equal passion for each other while fighting to protect all they love.

Fireside is a story of friendship, healing, and finding love.



Tristaine 1 - The Clinic:
Brenna has achieved the most prestigious assignment a City medic could hero for -- working with the renowned scientist Caster in The Clinic's top-secret Military Research Unit. That her new duties include monitoring the health of tortured political prisoners shouldn't faze Brenna -- such humanistic concerns have long been dismissed by an oppressive City Government. But Brenna finds herself deeply conflicted by her first patient, Jesstin, a wild and rebellious warrior reputed to be descended from ancient Amazons. As Caster's interrogations grow increasingly more brutal, Brenna fears for Jess's survival and struggles with her own deepening bond with her patient. Through Jess, she learns of another way of life in the Amazon village of Tristaine, where freedom and passion are prized more highly than political power. Before long, Brenna's heart leads her into a fight for her life.



Tristaine 2 - Battle for Tristaine:
Continuing the Tristaine Trilogy, this second book finds Jesstin and Brenna and their Amazon sisters have survived their bloody escape from the notorious City Clinic. The village of Tristaine still faces grave danger at the hands of Caster, a vengeful Clinic scientist. But no outside force could threaten the Amazons as much as the rift that has formed between the women of Shann's clan... a splintering of spirit that might spell Tristaine's doom.



Tristaine 3 - Tristaine Rises:
Tristaine: Book Three On the run from the City soldiers, the Amazons of Tristaine seek refuge deep in the mountains, where an even greater danger awaits. In their new mountain stronghold, a battle rages for the lives and souls of the Amazons of Tristaine. While Jess and her warriors fight a ghostly army, their weakened leader, Shann, must find a way to defeat a powerful demon queen. Shann’s only hero is to reveal long-held secrets that will change Brenna and Jess’s life forever. The Thesmephoria moon rises over the last bloody confrontation between two great Amazon tribes—the living and the dead—and when the sun dawns, only one queen rules the village.



Tristaine 4 - Queens of Tristaine:
When a deadly plague stalks the Amazons of Tristaine, Jess and Brenna must return to the place of their nightmares, the notorious City Clinic, to find a cure.

Tristaine's hard-won peace is shattered when a lethal epidemic threatens to devastate the Amazon clan. Their only hope for a cure lies in the sinister laboratories of the City Clinic.

The danger they face is harrowing, the stakes enormous...and they have precious little time.
