Silent Creek is silent no longer... It's here!

When authors say it takes five years to get a book out, I have always wondered why. Now I know why. Life gets lifey! Bumps and detours happen. This book’s fruition began in 2020 after I got a hacked email from a literary agent…and malware that screwed up my laptop. I was livid! And became paranoid about everything tech. I am already a Luddite so that says something. Insert a new idea for a book.

I wrote, I edited, I got peer input and revised, and I queried for two years. The query trenches are not for everyone, and despite my relentless efforts over twenty years and multiple books, it has gotten me nowhere. Ghosted is an understatement in the industry. So, I am full-on indie/self-pub now! I took my revisions further and got feedback from my amazing developmental/copy editor, and revised yet again. And, whew, after what feels like an eternity, Silent Creek is here! And I love it. Did I mention I also dove deep into research, reading, and interviews and even some off-the-grid experiences for that authenticity I aim for in all books? I do love research!

Silent Creek is here!

A Hundred Breaths

Healing his heart…with her last breath.

1263

Gwyn of Uist is a merciful Healer but loses breaths of her life with every healing charm. She barters an alliance with a Scot bent on revenge against her Norse kin in the hopes to save her brother from their abusive father. But can she and Simon MacCoinneach outwit her betrothed and bring an end to the Norse-Scottish bloodshed when it will take all her breaths to save Simon on the battlefield?

A Hundred Kisses

A broken past, a broken heart, and a broken curse.

1296

Deirdre MacCoinneach feels the lifebloods of everyone around her…and vows to discover if her gift killed her husbands—twice. Under the façade of a trader, Alasdair Montgomerie travels to Uist with pivotal information for a claimant seeking the Scottish throne. A cruel baron hunts him, leaving little room for alliances with the lass he meets along the way. Amidst ghosts of the past, Alasdair and Deirdre find themselves falling together in a web of secrets and the curse of a hundred kisses…

A Hundred Lies

Is their love just one more lie?

1322

Rosalie Threston’s fortune-telling lies have caught up with her and she’s on the run from a ruthless English noblewoman. Rosalie finds refuge in the halls of Eilean Donan castle deep in the Highlands, and in the arms of the laird’s mysterious son, Domhnall Montgomerie. Terrible visions plague Domhnall and he avoids all physical contact to temper them. When an accidental touch reveals only delight, he wonders if Rosalie is the key to silencing the Sight. Mystical awakening unravels with each kiss. But can Domhnall embrace his gift in time to save her life, even if it means exposing her lies?

I am so excited to be re-releasing this book. What’s different, you ask? Same story and content, but with a fabulous new cover and the inside is spruced up just a wee bit (this was my first book put out in 2017, so it needed just a smidgen more polish from the editing Jeannie).

1296, Scotland

Two wedding nights. Two dead husbands. Deirdre MacCoinneach wishes to understand her unusual ability to sense others' lifeblood energies…and vows to discover if her gift killed the men she married. Her father's search for a new and unsuspecting suitor for Deirdre becomes complicated when rumors of witchcraft abound.

Under the façade of a trader, Alasdair Montgomerie travels to Uist with pivotal information for a Claimant seeking the Scottish throne. A ruthless baron hunts him and a dark past haunts him, leaving little room for alliances with a Highland laird or his tempting daughter.

Awestruck when she realizes that her unlikely travel companion is the man from her visions, a man whose thickly veiled emotions are buried beneath his burning lifeblood, Deirdre wonders if he, too, will die in her bed if she follows her father's orders. Amidst magic, superstition, and ghosts of the past, Alasdair and Deirdre find themselves falling together in a web of secrets and the curse of a hundred kisses…

A Hundred Lies will be out in the fall 2024!
