Portersville
Price range: $3.99 through $27.99A flicker of lightning behind a thunderhead then a deep rumble marked the approach of a storm. Selena squeezed the hand of her handsome Greek husband. Together they peered across the vastness of the Gulf of Mexico while digging their toes into the cool sand. A weathered lighthouse offshore split the darkness, casting its light across the treacherous waters.
They braced themselves against the wind gusts and pelting rain. Between lightning strikes, they watched the squall line draw nearer. A dark tendril reached skyward attaching itself to the cloud above. The waterspout danced along the outer sandbars then crashed ashore ripping and tearing before dissipating among the pines and sand dunes.
Only twelve miles to the north, hotels glowed like jewels scattered along the shoreline. Bandstands blasted out music across the bay as vacationers danced under the stars and giant oaks. Children carrying torches and nets squealed and laughed while chasing crabs in the shallow grass beds. Lovers whispered as they walked along the banks of the bay. Old people sat in the glow of lantern light on their porches reminiscing of times gone by, legends of pirates, fast schooners, floating spirits, and the lost art of voodoo. Lightning on the southern horizon gave warning that the evening was about to change.
Cy and Selena fled Greece to avoid a personal storm and protect their families. They knew that this same storm could cross the ocean and track them to Portersville. Dripping wet and chilled, they vowed never to run again.

Yareli and The Dynamite Girls
Price range: $3.99 through $12.99Our country was founded on religious principles, which were given to us by the Hebrews! Early on, Moses led the people from Egypt and gave them the laws to follow. God kept them protected with a column of fire each night that stretched far into the sky! No other nation would dare to draw near them, for they feared the column of fire. God led them to the ‘Promised Lands’ when they reached the banks of the Jordan River, forty years later, this was where the pillar of fire went out! But the spirit of the fire burned in the hearts of the girls, as they were cast out of their homes and separated from their families. This is the story is told by the Hebrew girl who traveled our country in the eighteen hundreds. She was given the name of “Yareli” She was protected by a column of fire, and this was her Sister Numees, she was Arapaho and she was the leader like Joshua was, and they battled their way to the promised lands. During their journey they battled with evil, and this was where they found ‘Rebekah’ This was a dynamic group of girls that had discovered the miracle of ‘Dynamite’ thus the name of the “Dynamite Girls” Yareli, who is the Hebrew girl, tells you the story of their travels. Her name Yareli comes from her Sister, in Arapaho, or ‘Algonquian’ it means “Water Lady” She kept the other two girls tempers cooled with the ‘Mikvah’ or the ‘Sacred Water’.
This story was told to me by my Grandmother, who came to the west in the eighteen hundreds. She lived to be near a hundred years old, and her eyes were clear and bright as the sun, right to the end of her life. She and my Grandfather are buried at ‘Myers Falls’ in Washington State, which is called ‘Kettle Falls’ now since the building of the Coulee Dam. My Grandmother was named ‘Annie’ and she was very special to me. She saved my life when I was around nine years old, and this is where her stories began. She had a talent for telling a tale; with her eyes she made me feel her spirit, she still lives in my Soul to this day. I still feel her Love wrap around me whenever I think of her. She is the force behind the story of Yareli. Grandmother would be furious when she spoke of antisemitism, because Yareli was Jewish! Grandmother loved all the people around her and kept them gathered together with her Faith. She never passed judgment on anyone because of the color of their skin. She adopted two NezPierce women who taught her of ‘Healing’ She lived near the Wild Horse trail on a homestead back in those days, and she was the closest thing to a doctor at that time, because Colville was way back down the trail. She was special to everyone that met her. I still feel her Spirit moving with my blood, as I write my stories for Annie, so her Spirit is never forgotten.

Brightfire: A Tale of Sutton Hoo
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99Born in Zambia, I lived in Cape Town, before leaving on a transport ship in 1944 to return ‘home’ to England. My parents wanted to be with their families, even though World War 2 had not ended.
We lived in Kent, Surrey, Yorkshire and Norfolk before I went to Royal Holloway College, University of London, to read English (including Old English and Modern Drama). I have lived and taught in Suffolk since my marriage in 1964, and eventually became Head of English and Drama at Woodbridge School.
What is important to me? My family; literature, both reading and writing; theatre, on both sides of the curtain and travel. I am very fortunate to have travelled almost worldwide, from Iceland to Australia.
I am a National Trust volunteer at Sutton Hoo (site of the famous ship burial and treasure) and a Sutton Hoo Society Guide. I thoroughly enjoy sharing the history of Sutton Hoo with thousands of visitors each year. Renewing my acquaintance with the Anglo-Saxons re-awakened my interest in their language, culture and customs, and lead me to write two Anglo-Saxon historical novels based in the land of the Wuffings in the 7th century AD.
Apart from this writing, among the most exciting things I have done are swimming with dolphins on the Florida Keys, scuba-diving on the Great Barrier Reef and acting in the National Drama Festivals, where I was lucky enough to get a nomination in the Final.
Writing is something of a fourth career, as I have also worked as a TV film extra and run a local bookshop. As our forebears knew, life is for living and knowledge is for sharing: I enjoy giving talks to local societies and book clubs as well as doing book-signings.

Storm Frost
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99There exists an Anglo-Saxon manuscript, where we hear of an outcast wife, a husband, his messenger, a lover and a baby. Merge these tales with what we know of the royal family buried at Sutton Hoo in East Anglia, including Raedwald and his brother, Eni, living at the end of the 6th century AD.They believe in the old gods, like Woden, and have not yet encountered Christianity. Their culture is vibrant, exciting, terrifying in its cruelty, and uninhibited in its morality. Travel from the East Anglian fenlands, over northern moors to the remote Northumbrian river where the story reaches its climax. Along the way, discover life in a royal hall or a hovel; cure wounds or inflict them; share a feast or scrape a meal; work fertility charms or protect your folk from evil. Here is a tale of love and betrayal, courage and fear. Niartha, the fictional heroine, outcast from her people, encounters hardship, abuse and loss as she seeks her exiled lover; her survival depends on her practical skills, unexpected in a king’s daughter. In their desires and social lives, Anglo-Saxons, although separated from us by fourteen hundred years, are not so very alien, after all.
