Gunnar, a seventeen-year-old Danish warrior is Fiona’s captor and becomes the centre of her world. It’s his decision whether to sell her off for the price of a cow or marry Fiona—bringing her into a very different way of life, where she’ll have to learn Danish and use her skills to survive.
Yet, hundreds of years later, Professor Jon Jorgenssen discovers a burial site of a young warrior in Haithabu, Germany, formerly the ancient Danish trading town of Hedeby, where Gunnar and Fiona’s story unfolds. Jorgenssen and his team of archaeological students try to piece together the past.

This historical novel brings the Viking Age to life in all its glory and grit, vividly depicting the seagoing raiders’ conquests, trading, and traditions. The author puts readers right in the action with these colourful and complicated characters, all interspersed with chapters set in present day.

Tango

For 26-year-old Jessica Coxwell, life in Kentucky horse country is almost idyllic. She’s married to a college professor and has an exhilarating career as stable manager for the wealthy O’Connell family. During routine house-cleaning, Jess makes a discovery that sends her world into chaos. Soon, she begins questioning everything: her marriage, her job, and the mystery surrounding her father’s fatal car accident.

With a distant mother and few close friends, Jessica tries to hold her unraveling life together with horses and dance, namely the tango. Her twin passions lead to an Argentinian vacation to visit her friend, Carla, but the drama she sought to escape follows her abroad. Tango takes the reader into the fascinating worlds of horse breeding, romance, and dance where Jessica struggles to regain her self-esteem and confidence but who can she trust? Will she be able to love again?

Nuggets
A Tale of the Cariboo Gold Rush

In 1860’s Victoria, British Columbia, seventeen-year-old Robb McDonald is in love with high-society Emma. But Robb, his father, and his brothers work at the Hudson’s Bay post, and their lowly position makes him an unacceptable husband in the British class system in which they live.
​
Determined to win Emma’s heart, and the approval of her father, Robb leaves his family behind and joins a group of American miners heading north along the Fraser River, hoping to strike it rich in the BC gold rush. He must grow up fast in this uncharted and daunting land as he and his new friends face scarce food, wild animals, the violence of desperate men who will kill to get gold, and the lack of law enforcement to prevent it.

​Part coming-of-age novel, part adventure, and part Canadian historical fiction, Nuggets is the poignant and compelling story of how one young man sets out to find gold only to find so much more​.

Ireland
Snapshots In Time

What is it about the Irish that makes them so memorable? Love them or not, they stick in your mind as larger than life characters. How have they retained their unique character and culture? The vibrancy is compelling and draws you in. Is it the language, the magic of superstition, the charm or is it the echoes of many invaders - Vikings, Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Spanish and English? Is it Christianity disguising faintly veiled Celtic beliefs, or the very land itself, isolated and rocky, yet green and fertile, that nourishes an abundance of storytellers, musicians, poets and artists? Come, explore Ireland with me, where ordinary people have lived extraordinary lives.
