The Return, the thrilling third installment in my South Park historical novel series, takes Ike and Lorraine McAlister on their most perilous adventure yet in the rugged 1870s West.
I am preparing to launch my latest novel, The Return, in the next couple months. Follow my Facebook page and blog for insights and some exciting background to the story.

Engaging action packed adventure!
Fireflies at Dusk
My latest book, Fireflies at Dusk is my first historical novel, and is set during the Civil War era. It's a compelling coming-of-age story about a young man growing up in a pacifist family. The injustice of slavery causes him to turn his back on everyone who’s ever loved him and join the Union Army when the Civil War breaks out.
Can he reclaim his faith, family, and his sweetheart in the furious cauldron of the war or has he drifted too far away?
