Susannah Baylor reluctantly hires Henry Buckmeyer in 1832 to help her along the Jefferson Trace, the hard stretch of land between her Texas farm and the cotton market, where she's determined to get a fair price for her crop. It's been a long, rough ten years and the widow's in danger of losing the land her husband and his brother left to her and the children, and she needs help to get both her wagons safely to Jefferson.

She knows Henry's reputation as a lay-about and is prepared for his insolence, but she never expects his good looks or irresistible, gentle manner. Soon they are entwined in a romantic relationship that only gets more complicated because Henry doesn't know God the way she does. Dangers arise on the trace—but none as difficult as the trial her heart is going through. Will Susannah and Henry's love overcome their differences?

And will she get her crop to market and sell it for enough to save her farm? In this heartening and adventurous tale, a young woman's fortitude, faith, and heart are put to the ultimate test.

U
nbeknownst to loved ones, a headstrong young wife is snatched off the prairie by two Comanche braves, carried north of the Red River, and traded to their war chief for ponies. After five years, a small detail of Texas Rangers rides into camp, and she determines that day will bring freedom or death. She’ll remain captive no more.

Sassy Nightengale almost gives up hope until a company of Texas Rangers rides into Bold Eagle’s peace camp. She learns they’ve come for the negotiated exchange of stolen white women, except her name isn’t on their list. Purposing in her heart to escape captivity with her blue eyed, four-year-old that day, the chief’s third wife does everything she can think of to be noticed.

Famed Texas Ranger Levi Baylor spots the red-headed beauty and agrees to the war chief’s price, adding his personal horse and weapon to the Republic’s agents’ offerings. The trade propels the couple on a trail of joy and sorrow. Sweet love blossoms but must be denied. His integrity and her faith in God keep them at arm’s length, not even allowing a kiss. Sassy’s still married to her son’s father, and Levi’s honor-bound to deliver her home—to her husband.

Can their forbidden love be made holy? God hates divorce. Will Nightengale relinquish his wife and son? Will Sassy and Levi find the redemption they search for their troubled souls?

Marge Winters answers the ad for manager at a Bed & Breakfast placed by a wealthy widower seeking a new wife. W. G. Preston, trying to avoid the dating game, hires eight diverse women to come live at the B&B and be themselves while he gets to know them.

He soon realizes he can’t take six months with all eight and devises a plan to eliminate one per month, leaving the decision to Lady Luck as he successfully has many times in his life.

The women compete to win his wedding ring. The widow grandmother Marge is witty and friendly, yet naive. Youngest, Vicki hides her enchanting vulnerability with a queenly persona. Audrey, a great listener and cook, can be quite moody. The cute Natalie has trouble making friends.

The beautiful Virginia harbors a secret, and energetic Holly lifts everyone’s spirits, but ruined her wholesome image with breast implants paid for with Preston’s signing bonus. Charlotte loves antiques, as did the first Mis’ess Preston, and Dorothy is quite a leader, but Preston isn’t looking for a manager. He wants a wife.

Who will win his proposal?

Lady Luck’s a Loser
is an amusing character study that hooks readers through the depth provided to the cast, which enables the novel to avoid the pitfalls of
How to Marry a Millionaire
and
The Bachelor
. A difficult accomplishment, each of the key players can be distinguished from one another.

Running three parallel storylines,
A Little Lower that the Angels
opens with the sacrifices offered to God by Adam and his two sons Cain and Abel. Everyone knows the story, but this novel brings it to life from a new perspective.

One story follows Cain after Abel’s murder. He flees Adam’s Valley with his sister Sheria traveling to the land of Nod, east of Eden. Marked and cursed as a vagabond, he becomes easy prey for Satan and his minions, ever moving further and further from the teachings of his father and obedience to God. (Scripture says he went to Nod with his wife, and that Eve is the mother of all the living, so she must be the mother of the woman Cain takes as his wife, making her his sister as well.)

Another tells of Abel’s adventures in Paradise. He enters in at the death of his earthy flesh. Father God sends the first of the cherubim, a wonderful character named Namrel, to greet him and teach him, help him adjust to his new home. Abel meets the pets of his parents when they still lived in the Garden of Eden, Lion and Lamb, and Centurion, a captain of the host. He learns how earthly prayers loose the angels to war on earth’s inhabitants’ behalf—and how they fight.

Lastly, we remain in Adam’s Valley and mourn with the bereaved parents facing the loss of their three children. He and Eve relive different times in their lives as God helps them to endure and brings them to repentance.

Coming Soon, God willing…

 

Then the Deluge Comes

a Biblical fiction; Volume Two of  The Generations series ISBN 978-1503197459 / ebook  ASIN xxx / March 6, 2015 God willing

 

Obedience assures the preservation of life. By Adam’s death, evil rules the sons of Cain who fill the earth with their lasciviousness and violence. God declares He will not contend forever with man. But, Noah, the only one of the tenth generation to walk perfect before the Lord, hears His word.

MAKE THEE AN ARK OF GOPHER WOOD;  ROOMS SHALT THOU MAKE IN THE ARK, AND SHALT PITCH IT WITHIN AND WITHOUT WITH PITCH

With the help of his father Lamech, and Grandfather Methuselah whose name foretells when the deluge will come, Noah and his three sons embark on the massive task of building the giant boat with no idea why except that God said to. As the vessel of their salvation nears completion, it becomes apparent Noah’s sons need wives, but their mother left off bearing before birthing any daughters.

Evil, too, heard the word of the Lord, and Lucifer and his angels war in the Heavens to destroy the earth’s inhabitants. With each child that is passed through the fire, their battle songs grow stronger.

Lamech journeys to the land of Nod to find suitable maidens for his three grandsons, but can he find anyone pure enough there? And where in all the world and Heaven is the Almighty to get enough water to float the ark, much less cover the face of the earth?
