Summary:

I am sending this out to agents after editng the novel. I believe there are eagle-eyed readers that may find a nit, or many of them. I am going blind looking for them. So thanks ahead of time. The novel is set in China between the two World Wars. Lots of kungfu action. The historical period is accurately portrayed. Li Ma is blind and the leader of the School of the Blind Masseurs. Originally posted with 100k, but cut to <70,000. I have book two started.

Summary:

The Willow Tree of Tullamaine tells the story of Caitlin Donovan, a sixteen-year old, Irish tenant-farmer's daughter. Her only ambition is to marry Dillon Banion and raise a family with him in Tullamaine, a small village tucked into the hills of Wicklow, but she becomes enmeshed in the tangle of Anglo and Celt, Protestant and Catholic, faerie and mortal that is Ireland. She is forced to take a path not of her choosing. The novel explores the moral dilemmas that occur in a politically charged atmosphere, dilemmas no less relevant today than they were in 1892 Ireland. It is also a story about the persistence of the human impulse to love.

An interpretation of the fleeing of Ching Ling Soong from her family to her lover, Dr. Sun Yat-Sen. Ching-Ling would later become the vice-premier of China, second only to Mao Tse-Tung. The story has been edited out of Death of Darkness, but can stand alone as a short story.

Summary:

Providence is the story of an American tall ship's voyage around Cape Horn to San Francisco. The story is set in 1872. It is also a story about character transformation. I wrote the story to appeal to the readership established by the late Patrick O'Brian. If he were alive, I hope he would approve of my effort as his inspiration is very evident. My goal is to set the reader on board the deck of an American clipper. I want my reader to not only imagine being there, but to also imagine working the ship and feeling the courage of the men who manned her. The characters in Providence are unique. This novel is about heroism, but courage is not limited to physical bravery in Providence. Kayleigh MacKenna, my heroine, is as much a hero as the ship's captain. Her story will appeal to men and women alike. The lyrical beauty and awesome might of the sea should appeal to everyone. It has for centuries. This novel was meant to accompany a good bottle of wine, an easy chair, and an evening away from the TV and the 21st Century. Escape awhile. Tell me if you do so.

Summary:

It is the beginning of the 19th century in England when two sisters, Bridget and Ivy, find themselves separated by a series of untimely events in their homeland of England. This story is about their search to reunite, Bridget's unwanted journey to an untamed land called New South Wales and to a prison called The Female Factory, the finding of love and resolution. None of this may have happened had it not been for the women Bridget meets in the English gaol. These prisoners become her world and her hope in finding her sister. Two of the prisoners are Cossette and Annie. Cossette makes Bridget a promise in the following excerpt: "After a few moments, Bridget lifted her head and stared at Cossette and Annie. She must survive to find her beloved Ivy, she told herself. Drying her tears, she said to Cossette, “I am so afraid I will never find my sister.” Cossette recognized the fear, all too well, behind her words. Her fear was existence, without recognition, stretching into an unknown future. It was being, completely and utterly, alone in the world, with no one who loved you. Cossette promised, “I will help you, little one, find Ivy. The day will come, be patient. But first, let’s find a way to leave this place.” This is the beginning, you will want to know the ending. I promise.
