I have almost completed four novels. After revision upon revision upon revision, two are ready to find publishing homes. The other two linger in an undressed state of first draft and are too shy to show themselves yet.

KILMOON, A COUNTY CLARE MYSTERY (coming in 2014!)

Desperate to mend her troubled past, Merrit Chase travels from California to Lisfenora, an Irish village famous for its annual matchmaking festival. All she wants is to meet her biological father, Liam Donellan, the charismatic matchmaker, and to understand what propelled her beloved mother into an unhappy marriage and to an early death. Instead, she becomes both suspect and victim, accomplice and pawn, in a manipulative game that began among the crumbling ruins of a church called Kilmoon.

As Merrit struggles to understand why she’s the center of escalating chaos that includes murder, she finds herself at odds with Detective Sergeant Danny Ahern, a man who grieves the death of his daughter and his crumbling marriage. Merrit and Danny's conflict intensifies as they circle ever closer to the truth that emanates from Kilmoon’s bone-strewn grounds, culminating in a breathtaking climax that leaves no one unscathed.

In the end, Merrit and Danny unravel layers of truth and deception better left buried with Liam’s past.

THE LAST DRUID

Danae Chulain doesn't know she's about to inherit a twisted family legacy. All she knows is that she resents the so-called Chulain talent that allows her to glimpse the dark impulses hidden within others. When a series of unforeseen events land Danae in Ireland, she finds herself sucked into a deadly drama that began centuries previously with the murder of her druid ancestress. In a world where druid magic and cold, gray reality collide, Danae's odyssey to find an illuminated manuscript filled with mystical druid knowledge pits her against enemies who are tied to her through their age-old bloodlines. Danae's on the hunt for druidic secrets to save herself and her long family line from extinction. To succeed, she'll have to at long last embrace her unique heritage.
