Award-Winning Christian Fiction Aurthor

That you are reading this means you come from some hearty and courageous ancestors. Over thousands of years, they survived plagues, famines, wars, storms, trials, tribulations, joys, and losses, no matter how many different parts of the globe your ancestors traveled or where they lived and died. This thought had never crossed my mind while writing and winning awards with contemporary romantic suspense, westerns, and even sci-fi. It wasn’t until Lady Evangeline stirred me with her story that I was lured into writing about the Middle Ages. I was even more surprised when I won RWA Faith, Hope, and Love’s Touched By Love Historical category and the Overall award with The Secret Life of Lady Evangeline. Thus began a writing journey far outside my comfort zone, for I had never written a medieval. While doing research for the time period, I was struck by the humbling revelation that I’m alive because ancestors farther back than our genealogy revealed survived not just the medieval era but many other difficult, even horrific times over the centuries before my birth. You and I are truly blessed by their perseverance. Help us, Lord, to be the light so others might find you and have life eternal. Amen.

The Secret Life of Lady Evangeline

If not for Lady Evangeline’s secret training in weaponry, her corpse would be rotting in ...

If not for Lady Evangeline’s secret training in weaponry, her corpse would be rotting in a ditch. Instead, she finds refuge in a crumbling abbey—and new purpose. With her child dead and her husband lost to the lies of a devious plotter, Evangeline vows to fight for the starving widows and children in the villages surrounding the abbey. Masquerading as a nun by day, and an armed vigilante by night, she will free these people no matter what it takes.

Lord Henry Stanton still grieves the death of Evangeline. How can he ever shed the weight of guilt over not protecting his beautiful wife? She never even had the chance to know their precious baby girl, now healthy and thriving. Though he failed to keep Evangeline safe, he will stop at nothing to protect their daughter from the intrigue and corruption threatening not just the royal court, but the whole land.

When the worst happens, Henry must join forces with a nun—or is she Evangeline? They must overcome lies, treachery, and a broken marriage to save their innocent daughter—and the country—before it’s too late.

Escape to another century in this action-packed inspirational medieval romance!

Raised in a castle on the remote border of England and Scotland, Lord John Stanton is the last male heir of his royal lineage. He has the responsibility to marry and carry on the family name, but a secret vow to God, after a near-fatal battle wound, could change his future from royal heir to humble servant of the church. His journey to the monastery to become a monk is interrupted when he meets a dangerous, but beautiful, woman who has plans and secrets of her own.

The Stone and the Secrets

Lady Elise Stanton loves the Lord, her family, science, and William Degraf....

Lady Elise Stanton loves the Lord, her family, science, and William Degraf. William was always around to help with her experiments—at least, until she reached marriageable age. Unable to convince him that it is not a noble bloodline that makes a man worthy, but a noble heart, she turns to science to soothe her disappointment. While attending the School of Scientifica in London, far from her home at Brighton Castle, she’s eager to join a scientific expedition intent on tracking down a large meteorite strike. Superstitions and fear surrounding the stones threaten the expedition. As dangers mount, William’s unexpected arrival could be the answer to her prayers…or the harbinger of more peril to come.

William Degraf chooses to join the king’s army to escape the growing secret love he has for Lady Elise. He is a low-born innkeeper’s son and not allowed to marry a lady of noble blood. His plan is to rise in ranks and one day earn great honors to declare for her hand. That hope is shattered when he loses his right leg in battle while saving his best friend from the enemy’s lance.

When William receives information that a group of assassins have been hired to kill the king and others with noble blood, he must warn Elise and her family. Can he reach Elise in time to protect her from danger, then stand aside and watch her marry another?
