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.

GRAVE INTENT

Grave Intent is set in a quaint Irish village called Lisfenora that is famous for its yearly matchmaking festival. Into Lisfenora arrives Merrit Chase from California. Her desire to mend her troubled past is jeopardized by the matchmaker himself, the charismatic Liam Donellan—who just happens to be her biological father. As she struggles to understand why she’s the center of escalating chaos that includes two murders, she finds herself at odds with Detective Sergeant Danny Ahern, a man who grieves the death of his daughter and, possibly, his marriage. He goes his own way during the investigation to exonerate his best friend, the matchmaker’s adoptive son—thus incurring the wrath of his boss—while Merrit finds herself both suspect and victim, accomplice and pawn, in a manipulative game that began in 1975.

The second book in this series, The Grey Man, follows Merrit as she becomes matchmaker-in-training and Danny as his marriage takes a tragic turn for the worse. (There's also a mute girl, a dog, and a murder or two.)

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.
