TOM was written as "roman-a-clef," meaning that names, places, and some events have been changed, but not the essence of a real story. It is a personal journey of dashed hopes, brokenness, and disappointment. And, it is the story of unlikely human connection, of faith struggle, the wonder of life, and ultimately, of hope. It is adult fiction. TOM's story is not intended for children and youth. This novella includes vulgar language, violent imagery, and mature, difficult subjects.
The Douglas Family Saga continues...Hattie and Elizabeth head for the Kansas Territory, then onto the great Powwow at Ft. Laramie. It could easily turn into a blood bath...Francis and his family head for New York. Jim becomes involved with a runaway slave as well as a young abolitionist. And someone is stealing from the Frailey Shipping Company.Ruf is stuck at home where he meets Betty Lou Marshall. Then he receives a letter from the Kansas Territory. He too heads west, fury pushing him as never before.Once Jim is back at school and Ruf visits him, their previous troubles collide at a neighboring plantation. Devastation, joy, love and murder will haunt them into tomorrow.

He heads to Paducah, hoping Sheriff has some insight as to who is to blame for causing such heartache. Ruf also plans to head south to visit his cousin Jim Frailey, who is going to college in Georgia. Jim's letters of late border on reckless and Ruf realizes Jim plans to kill his wife's brother for sending bounty hunters after her. As Ruf waits for the boat, Sheriff approaches him, along with another man who flashes a federal marshal badge. Ruf is arrested for murdering the bounty hunter Virgil Lane, the man who mutilated and killed Shanna four years ago. Jim's father sends him to New York City to be away from Ruf's incarceration and the upcoming trial. Being in New York is torturous for Jim because his abolitionist lover is there. He can't have controversy hanging about his name and vows to stay away from her, which fails miserably. He needs to stay out of society in order to protect his mulatto daughter, Liberty. Guilt sends Jim back to Kentucky to help Ruf and protect his daughter from prying eyes. He's too late. The prosecutor discovers Liberty's heritage, and the judge has no recourse but to send Jim's little girl into slavery and him to jail for harboring a runaway slave. The Fugitive Slave Act prohibits anyone from searching for Liberty. Stealing her back is illegal. Finding her impossible. Ruf doesn't care much for laws anymore and sets out to find his little one. It may well be the worst decision he's made in his life.

Mace is married to a beautiful woman. He does not love her. Dani is engaged to a man she does not even like. But they find true love and undeniable physical chemistry in each other. But is a good sexual relationship enough to build a life on?
Wren Belden's ever-increasing libido thrusts her into a torrid 25th college reunion, forcing her to balance her growing attraction to Chad, the most sexually practiced man Wren's ever met, with her burgeoning feelings for Tuck, who seems able to read her mind, in bed and out. By the end of reunion, Wren learns her heart, brain, and pussy all want different things. How can she make every part of herself happy? In A Time and a Place, an 87,000 word work of powerfully-sexual fiction, Wren takes readers on a fun-loving, hedonistic ride, turning her simplistic goal to "get laid more" into a bold pursuit of pleasure and a whirlwind of new experiences. Wren's openness and excitement are infectious; she will make readers want to orgasm, repeatedly, as she succumbs to Tuck's magic, and Chad's mastery. Using her heart, body, and brilliant mind to achieve her goals, Wren's escapades (or, as she calls them, "sexcapades") will appeal to female and male readers alike. A rewarding romp for all.
