Before She Finds Me

Julia Bennett has worked hard to create a stable life for her daughter, Cora. But when Cora leaves for college, a sudden attack leaves the campus stunned—and only Julia’s quick actions save Cora’s life. Newly pregnant Ren Petrovic has an unusual career—she’s a trained assassin. Ren wasn’t on campus that day, but she knows who was: her husband, Nolan. What she doesn’t know is why Nolan has broken their rules by not telling her about the job in advance. The more Ren looks into the attack, the more she begins to question: Who hired Nolan? And why did one woman in the crowd respond so differently from all the rest?

The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England

A man awakes in a clearing in what appears to be medieval England with no memory of who he is, where he came from, or why he is there. Chased by a group from his own time, his sole hope for survival lies in regaining his missing memories, making allies among the locals, and perhaps even trusting in their superstitious boasts. His only help from the “real world” should have been a guidebook titled The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England, except his copy exploded during transit. The few fragments he saved provide clues to his situation, but can he figure them out in time to survive?

The Last Sinner

Father John, the notorious serial killer, is back for revenge, as well an all-new killing spree. He hires prostitutes and then strangles them with rosary beads, leaving behind a hundred dollar bill with Ben Franklin’s eyes burned out. Also in his cross-hairs is Bentz’s daughter, Kristi, a true crime writer, who survives an attack when the novel opens but it ends with her husband Jay’s death. Was the attack the work of Father John? Or is there another killer on the loose in New Orleans, this one with his own agenda for revenge against Kristi?
