"…captivating romance that takes us to the world of seventeenth-century London…Sexual tension and legal and familial intrigue ensue with the reader cheering on the lovely pair." −Publishers Weekly

Award-Winning Author

Claire Hamilton will do anything to avoid marrying the vile duke to whom her uncle has her betrothed—including marrying convicted felon Dr. Devon Blackmon, a prisoner in Newgate Prison.

In retaliation, Claire is banished to the wild outpost of Jamaica, where on impulse she buys a slave of her own, only to discover that she has inadvertently bought her own husband—a move that does anything but endear him to his new "wife."

Forced together in order to fight the deadly plague ravaging the island, Claire and Blackmon slowly develop a forbidden friendship that neither expected.

Wildly untrusting on both sides, they struggle to navigate their new found positions—until Blackmon seizes a chance to escape, soon rising to fame as the Black Devil Pirate, commanding his Caribbean kingdom and striking fear in the crowned heads of Europe.

But the outlaw is not finished with Claire yet, as their paths eventually cross once again and Blackmon takes her captive.

Caught in a war between France, England, and their own hearts, will Claire and Blackmon survive?

Award-Winning Author

In 1688, torn by rebellions, England lives under the threat of a Dutch invasion.

Redheaded Calumny Spinks is the lowliest man in an Essex backwater- half-French and still unapprenticed at seventeen, yet he dreams of wealth and title.

When his father's violent past resurfaces, Cal's desperation leads him to become a coffee racketeer. He has just three months to pay off a blackmailer and save his father's life – but his ambition and talent for mimicry pull him into a conspiracy against the King himself.

Cal's journey takes him from the tough life of Huguenot silk weavers to the vicious intrigues at Court.

As the illicit trader Benjamin de Corvis and his controlling daughter Emilia pull him into their plots, and his lover Violet Fintry is threatened by impending war, Cal is forced to choose between his conscience and his dream of becoming Mister Calumny Spinks.

“… a beautifully written story and the characters are so easy to fall in love with!” -hcollins

His name is Breslyn, Prince of Dagda of the Tuatha Dé. He is a royal Fae, immortal and endowed with more than eye candy looks. He is a being with immeasurable powers but life for him lacked something—so he looked around, and found…humans.

Watching their lives and interactions, from another dimension filled him with feelings he had thought long lost in the ennui of immortality.

The more he watched–the more addicted to their antics he became. An affection for the human race grew inside the heart Fae are not supposed to have, and it was inevitable that he began to have preferences with regards to them.

In 1314, when Scotland's rule was in jeopardy and the British were about to take more than they should, he chose a side–and then he saw her, and nothing would ever be the same for the prince ever again…

Make sure price is still $0.99 before clicking "Buy".

“This book is a brilliantly woven combination of suspense, intrigue and romance.” – Jan R.

DEGENERATE FLOOSIES…DASTARDLY GERMAN SPIES…DIRTY OLD MEN…SOPWITH CAMELS…AND A VIRGINAL HERO AND HEROINE WHO ARE ENGLAND'S ONLY HOPE….

1918. England faces defeat. Germany looks set to triumph. Only one man and one woman can save England.

Wriggles is the Royal Flying Corps' greatest ace. Can he prevent a dastardly German spy ring from getting top-secret information out of France? Is he completely out of his depth in a world of devilish scoundrels, and flouncing, unashamed, near-naked scarlet women?

Britt, his childhood sweetheart, is working as a nurse at a hospital near Paris. Forever pining for the lost innocence of her childhood, she too has problems. Adrift in a world of dirty old men and dissolute hussies, she is fast approaching mental breakdown.

She finds purpose in life as a slayer of German spies. Convinced as she is that German male spies have snakes growing out from between their legs, they are quite easy to identify.

Another obsession of hers is to discover what Wriggles has between his legs…

As well as twists and turns of plot, exciting aerial combats, and a host of characters, from the suave, bollocks-obsessed Major Mullen to sexy, black-haired, pouting Marianne casting amorous eyes over our virginal hero, there unfolds (in the story of Britt and Wriggles) one of the greatest love-stories ever told.

Will it end happily, or will Wriggles end up with a bullet through his head, and Britt strait-jacketed in a mental institution?

This is a novel of sexual and martial comedy, with no-holds-barred excitement and thrills, and more.

It explores two flawed individuals who, heartbreakingly unable to come to terms with an adult world, begin to draw closer and closer together and discover feelings hitherto unknown to them.

It is a sympathetic portrayal of two children trapped in adult bodies, and how one of them, Britt, tries to dig her way out of her schizophrenic nightmare with a courage and determination which deserves to succeed…

Will Britt manage to save herself..? And will Britt and Wriggles save England..? Will they find true love?

Or does death and madness await them in a world dominated by Germany and its depraved supporters?

“…I would consider this a Keeper to refer back to.” – Gary S.

One part biography, one part prayer book, The Life and Prayers of Saint Michael the Archangel is an essential book for any Christian.

Saint Michael is the Defender of the Faith and of our Church. As Christians we pray each day that he stands with us through this life and beyond.

Saint Michael the Archangel is the most revered archangel within the Church throughout history and today but his pre-eminence transcends the history of the Christian Church.

Saint Michael's role extends far beyond the war with the enemy here on Earth; it embraces every single member of the Church.

His venerated name is invoked on a daily basis for protection, for healing, for consolation and by the dying as they make their final journey to God's Eternal Kingdom, seeking to avoid the desolation of Purgatory.

Award-Winning Author

He KNOWS TOO MUCH—but he doesn’t know what he knows…

Things were going lousy for ex-reporter Paul Mcdonald: No money, no girl friend, no bright new career as a mystery novelist … and then along came private investigator Jack Birnbaum with an offer: he'd detect, and Paul would write the client reports.

It wasn't much, but it would keep Spot the cat in Kitty Queen tidbits.

But then somebody poisoned Jack in Paul's own living room.

A day that begins with a body in your house really ought to get better, but next comes burglary and after that, assault-by-cop. And Paul's got a feeling that's just the beginning.

There must have been something someone didn’t want him to know in one of those client reports. But what?

The wise-cracking, funny, but slightly depressed ex-journalist better become an ace private investigator in about two seconds—or end up like his detective mentor.

Birnbaum’s last report concerned a kidnapped child, so Paul begins there.

The trail leads him to the laboratory of a Nobel laureate geneticist, and then to San Francisco City Hall, where an extremely nasty surprise awaits.

But there's an upside—lovely witness Sardis Kincannon. Nothing like falling in love while you're running for your life!

Shadow Assassins, Book One: Radical separatists, created at the onset of the Great Conflict, have been made obsolete by years of peace. They live in their subterranean Shadow Maze and only emerge when it's time to breed. For Varrik, that time is now.

Varrik, current leader of the Shadow Assassins, knows his people are on the verge of extinction.

If they cannot adapt, they will die. Yet if his son were a direct descendant of the High Queen it would secure a place for future generations.

Protecting his people is his first priority, so Varrik assembles a hunting party and kidnaps the royal twins. He is determined to claim the eldest for his own.

Echo, the younger princess, knows her pampered sister will never survive the sexual appetites of their virile captor.

Echo doesn’t understand the powerful attraction she feels for Varrik, but drawing his attention is a far better choice than allowing him to overwhelm her twin.

She doesn’t expect to find him fascinating or to crave the demanding passion he ignites.

Can a dominating warrior and his willing captive bring light to the Shadow Maze?

“Wickedly delicious… What makes (Thompson’s) book so particularly wonderful is the way it accomplishes the detective novel’s covert mission of urban analysis and social criticism.” -San Francisco Examiner

First comes divorce, then comes murder…

…or at least sweet thoughts of murder. Maggie Longstreet has plenty of them after slimy, ambitious Richard trades her in for a more recent model.

She's so depressed she can barely get out of bed when Larry Hawkins, a seemingly not-at-all depressed acquaintance, commits suicide out of the blue.

Suddenly Maggie goes on high alert, remembering something her evil ex said about Larry—something highly suspicious.

And from there, it’s just a short segué to a bracing new development-

"When some women get divorced they go back to school, I thought. Some do volunteer work at the hospital, or join communes and learn to birth calves. Some have affairs with inappropriate men. My new interest is burglary.

Maggie Longstreet, former wife and mother, past president of the Museum Guild, now starting a career as a second-story woman."

Fortunately, Maggie isn't alone in her adventure—a very attractive, much younger man proves a lot more fun than Richard ever was.

In fact, the real delight of this witty, sly mystery is seeing Maggie come alive again after a suffocating marriage.

Set in the'70s, it has a bit of that Mad Men feel of women on the brink of something big. And completely unexpected.

You know Maggie's going to be okay when she says: "I'd rather have had one of those cute little guns with a mother-of-pearl handle, but this (diamond pin) would have to do. I concealed it in my hand. At least now I was armed—or pinned."

Here’s what the reviewers have to say:

These three stories were perfect. The characters were multidimensional and played off each other in warm, thoughtful, loving ways. Each couple faced a different situation and overcame their obstacles together and with the insightful comments of their friends. It is heart-warming to read stories where long time friends are supportive and loving rather than spiteful and destructive.

*******

This trilogy was fun and serious all at the same time. Love how the friends intertwine and add new along the way. It was refreshing to read the different stories and having them all come together. Really enjoyed this series!

*******

These three books are full of warmth, understanding of human nature, and great characters. They are connected, following the lives of college friends, and by the time you are finished, you feel as if you are a part of their extended circle. Definitely a feel good experience.

*******

These books were excellent! The story line had excellent flow and consistency and was well written. The characters were well developed.

*******

I really enjoyed the way that each book had built on the last book. These are those books that are hard to put down. You want to keep reading to find out what happens next. You laugh and you cry.

About The Author

I write because people heal. And those are the people who fascinate me.

They heal from pinpricks and catastrophes. They heal seamlessly or with scars, hidden or visible. They heal in as many ways as there are things to heal from, then multiplied by the number of individuals there are in this world.

As a journalist, I witnessed moments of “injury” and frequently found myself asking “How does someone get past that?” – whether “that” was pinprick or catastrophe. That question is also at the heart of my stories. What my characters are healing from frequently falls into the realm of wounds most of us carry. That makes the healing no less fascinating and no less admirable than if a character has troubles few of us will ever encounter. (I am piling on with one character right now, and it’s starting to make me feel a little guilty.)

I find people often heal from doses of humor, honesty, and being pushed into situations they’ve been trying to avoid. Since few people will push themselves into situations they’ve been avoiding (wg), the characters need friends, family, and community willing to push. So my stories have a lot of those elements.
That’s why I’m most pleased that my readers say my books blend “laughter and tears” with characters who “live and breathe.” I don’t have the most focused writing career – contemporary romance, mystery, women’s fiction, historical romance, nonfiction – but those elements unite my 30+ titles.

Some say my stories have happy endings. I like to think of each story as being the process of the main characters getting themselves to a point where they can have a happy beginning. Because they’ve done a lot of healing.

If you enjoy stories about characters learning, growing, and healing, with some humor, sometimes some mystery, and frequently romance, I hope you’ll try my books.

For more on what’s coming up with my writing, you can sign up for my newsletter at my website-

It started in a lab at the CDC (Center for Disease Control), virologists were so relieved to finally have an effective vaccination against the virulent swine flu.

Pressure to come up with something had come from the highest office in the land. In an attempt at speed the virologists had made two mistakes, first they used a live virus and second they didn't properly test for side effects.

Within days hundreds of thousands of vaccinations shipped across the US and the world. People lined up for the shots, like they were waiting in line for concert tickets.

Fights broke out in drugstores as fearful throngs tried their best to get one of the limited shots.

Within days the CDC knew something was wrong. Between 4 and 7 hours of receiving the shot roughly 95% succumbed to the active H1N1 virus in the vaccination.

More unfortunate than the death of the infected was the added side effect of reanimation, it would be a decade before scientists were able to ascertain how that happened.

The panic that followed couldn't be measured. Loved ones did what loved ones always do, they tried to comfort, their kids or their spouses or their siblings, but what came back was not human not even remotely.

Those people that survived their first encounter with these monstrosities usually did not come through unscathed, if bitten they had fewer than 6 hours of humanity left, the clock was ticking.

During the first few hysteria ridden days of The Coming as it has become known, many thought the virus was airborne, luckily that was not the case or nobody would have survived. It was a dark time in human history.

One from which we may never be able to pull ourselves out of the ashes from.
