Number Six is Born!

Ta daa! I'm very pleased to announce that my sixth historical novel has been born and is enjoying life out of the womb of my mind. Soon it will be crawling and standing like the book it was meant to be.  

This book is called Redeeming Rob. It comes after Willard Manor, Leaving Mark, Finding Gary, Saving Lou and Remaking Danny and, of course, it takes place in New Haven, Connecticut as do most of the others.

Since all of the books are connected in one way or another, this one's no different. In Willard Manor, near the end of the book, the last occupant of the old house passes away so the attorney calls in the two closest heirs, Annabeth and her twin brother Billy, to tell them the house will go to them. Billy says he doesn't want it because he just bought a home on the lake with his wife, and Annabeth mentions that she and her preacher husband, Rob, were living in the parsonage of his church and couldn't afford Willard Manor. They suggest the house get sold and they'd split the profits.

Redeeming Rob is about Annabeth and her husband Rob in 1990 prior to her aunt's passing. Rob discovers to his surprise that he'd unknowingly taken part in a tragic event twenty years earlier and when he learns of it, he feels unworthy to be pastoring a church. Annabeth is shocked and wants to keep the event a secret forever. 

I self-published the book last week and it is now available on Amazon, in print and on Kindle.


I do hope you enjoy it. 

On another note, recently both Willard Manor and Saving Lou won the Speak Up Talk Radio Firebird Award and I was interviewed about the books this week. You can hear the fifteen-minute interview here: 


If you can't open it, you may have to copy and paste onto a new file. 

I was very honored to receive the awards, both for the recognition and because I can now call myself an award-winning author. Who'd have thought it!
