"You have a right to remain silent." were words pastor Vint Montrose never thought he'd hear directed at him, but they were all too real as he was bundled into the back of the patrol car-suspect in a grizzly murder. Faced with a murder rap he can't get out from under, and his small-town pastorate crumbling, things look grim-until a spunky, self-reliant private investigator from Philadelphia arrives at his door. He accepts her help and sets in motion a series of events that lead to secrets that shatter the once-peaceful rural Pennsylvania town he lives in. The Pastor and the Private Eye is not only a murder mystery, but it is a look into the dark side of human nature. It is also a story of hate, suspicion, trust-and love. It examines the lengths to which people will go to hide the truth and the resourcefulness others will employ to uncover it. It also explodes the myth that rural communities are beyond the heinous horrors of the big city. Yet, through it all, two people discover that they are never beyond the love of God. Mix equal parts of mystery, criminal investigation, and romance, and you have the formula for The Pastor and the Private Eye.

Mystery

How many of us wonder what might have been?  After her mother's death, six-year-old Jaycee is neglected by her alcoholic father and decides she would rather be beaten than ignored. She grows up a foul-mouthed hellion who takes flak off no one, and she lives in fear of anyone finding out she is also a love-starved little girl terrified of being abandoned in the dark. Her intrepid spirit carries her forward until she is tripped up in college by a poor little rich boy who turns out to be the male version of herself.   Jaycee and Bud are an emotional paradox: drawn together because they're so much alike and constantly at war for the same reason. They fight as frequently and as physically as they make love, hurting each other even as they become two halves of a whole. Jaycee's rollercoaster life with Bud is gritty, touching, and funny, and just when she thinks she's made it safely to the end of the ride, her childhood and her first love come back to derail her.

Erotica

A stranger on a strange planet... The words haunt Jade Bredenbury as much as her few memories of the night she became 'Crystal' and danced the night away with a handsome artist. The memories used to be so vivid, but less than a year later, a car accident robs her of her memories, and changes her in more ways than one. Small glimpses allow her to remember vague details, like his smokey grey eyes, but any chance of finding the man who evoked fierce passion faded with her head injury. As the Circulation Director of a small town newspaper, Jade deals with all sorts of people with flare. She's dedicated and good at her job, which is how she finds herself at the Lione Daily Times with the task of cleaning up the mess left by the previous Director. She handles this all cool, calm and collected, professional at all times. Until Gus Colfax, the cranky bellowing hermit, screams at one of her young carriers. No one knows what drove the gifted artist to solitude, and he's not inclined to enlighten them. He likes his self-imposed solitary confinement. Everyone simply leaves him to his memories. When his peace is disturbed with a crashing window, he strikes out at Jade. She doesn't back down. Instead, she fires back, shocking even herself. And piquing the interest of the temperamental artist. Yet, fate isn't done with them. A plan has begun to draw Gus from his personal prison and restore the missing part of Jade's life.
