The Novellas

Heart of the HOme and Cherished Love






Two collections of novellas that celebrate motherhood...

Heart of the Home coverHeart of the Home, ISBN 0451191684 Meggie's Baby

I was thrilled to be included in this anthology that celebrates motherhood and Mother's Day. Meggie's Baby is set in Salisbury, England, a place I've had the good fortune to visit often.

On one special day, childless Alexander and Meggie receive the gift of the baby they both desire--that is if they accept that the gift and the child is truly theirs to take.


Cherished Love coverCherished Love, ISBN 0312961715 An Impetuous Season

One editor called my story in this anthology "the best non-western western" she'd ever read. I'm still not certain that was a compliment. At any rate in this book I make my first stab at an almost modern period in history.

Fiesty "fallen woman" Verity Standiford journeys from England to Kansas where her hopes for a husband and family of her own are rekindled when she fights a prairie fire with a would-be lawyer who's reluctantly raising his nieces.
