IMPRESSIONS OF INNOCENCE
What is a nice girl like Jenna Ogden doing in love with handsome, provocatively mysterious Ron Sundy, whose mother is a buffalo who has not yet been born?
Confused by Ron's beliefs and his mystic abilities to heal and to "mind travel," Jenna must examine her own faith as she wrestles with Ron's claim that his life's mission is to save the world from evil. Yet, she cannot help being drawn to the compelling Ron Sundy.
Ron leads his religion, a mix of Indian lore, myth, and Christianity. He sees himself as the son of White Buffalo, whose rebirth will signal the end of the earth. His cousin, Erika, wants to dispose of Ron, and enthrone herself as spiritual leader of their tribe. Her interference disturbs Jenna, as Erika attempts to recruit Jenna into her dark schemes.
Jenna never dreamed she'd fall in love. She was waiting for Connor Young to return from his two-year Mormon mission and marry her. Impressions of Innocence is the story of love's pain and triumph as Jenna grows from a sheltered, naive Mormon girl to a mature and wise woman.
Mormons, myths, and mystery combine in this story of love, deception, and intrigue.
HEIR OF DECEIT
On the eve of her wedding, Lacey Roberts uncovers a problem too large for love to conquer---a destructive force within her family, which could put her fiancé's life in danger.
Lacey vows to uncover the secrets of her lineage, even if it requires her ultimate sacrifice: the loss of her marriage to her beloved Evs.
Her quest leads from Tucson, Arizona to the Smoky Mountain backwoods, where even today, the shotgun is more respected than the law, moonshine stills explode, and family may not be what is expected.
HEIR OF DECEIT is a clean Contemporary Fiction novel appropriate for teens and adults.
Lacey encounters a crass and stringy backwoods aunt; a moonshiner uncle; an alluring Cherokee firefighter; a sprinkling of Asheville’s famous ghosts; and a deliciously horrible bad guy in her desperate quest to wed her tough-as-barbed-wire fiancé, Evs, a rancher from Tubac, Arizona.
