Joseph Brant, a Mohawk war chief who supported the Red Coats, stared at the shoreline from the deck of a British sailing ship, wondering what his return to America from a two year stay in England, would bring. Joseph was eager to share his experiences and to encourage the tribes to support the British, as he was confident that the war bearing down on all of them, would be short-lived. He had seen the Red Coats training in England. marching in stark discipline and perfect order, armed with glorious weapons, perfectly tailored uniforms and seemingly endless resources, and thought it implausible that the Rebels could stand up to such a formidable force, for long. It was now his mission to share his beliefs with his people, and to solidify his aspirations for the Mohawks best future alongside the British. Forest in Flames, a historical fiction novel, follows Joseph as he returns to America seeking to reunite with his family and share with the tribes all that he learned in Britain. Join Joseph as he experiences the joys and sadness of finding a place for his people in their dramatically changing new world, and in the battle to create a nation.

Lily Leticia is in Trouble. Deep Trouble. Of course, that shouldn't be too surprising. She is only eleven years old, has an IQ of 160, and is in high school. Her classmates ignore her, because, after all, she should still be in elementary school. Kids her own age ignore her, because, after all, she is somewhat of a freak. Unfortunately, Trouble just seems to follow Lily Leticia around...with only a little help from her. Now, however, Lily Leticia has found an old book, one that her Indian friend, Joseph Spotted Elk, has told her to put back immediately in the trunk where she found it. He claims there are Indian spirits in the book, that it is ancient magic, and she should not even be touching it. Magic? Combined with an IQ higher than most of her teachers? This is right up Lily Leticia's alley! If she ever thought she was in Trouble before The Book, it was nothing compared to the Trouble she's going to be in.
