In the Works

Civil Engineer Anne Schneider and her business partner, Patrick Ford, are struggling to make their new business enterprise, Clearly Perfect Water Systems, successful. They land a contract for a major project involving tainted wastewater from the Big Tree Paper Plant near the tiny town of Wood Mill, southeast of San Francisco. The job requires Anne to be on site for six months, under the watchful eye of Adehm Trent, an executive from the plant's corporate headquarters in Detroit.

Anne takes on the job, despite the fact that it takes her away from her parents in Albuquerque. Her mother's health is failing badly, and her father relies on Anne to help with her care. Confident she can handle both her personal and her professional responsibilities, Anne heads to Wood Mill, ready to prove to Mr. Trent that Clearly Perfect Water Systems is equal to the task at hand.

One tiny problem... Mr. Trent is really Ms. Trent, and not only that, but she's drop-dead gorgeous to boot, not to mention a demanding employer.

Anne and Adehm find their way to workable relationships, both as colleagues and as something much more satisfying - until Anne's mother's condition deteriorates, forcing Anne to choose between fulfilling her obligations to Adehm and Big Tree and returning to Albuquerque to help her parents.

In the aftermath of Anne's choice, Adehm must face old demons that have haunted her for years. Like Anne, she too must decide what really matters in her life.

Everything was going so well, but now both Anne and Adehm have to contend with serious derailments of their plans. What will happen to their goals and dreams that were In the Works?

Connecting Hearts (written with MJ Walker)
ISBN: 0977031802

Connecting Hearts

It's romantic, mushy, and heart-wrenching. MJ Walker and I wrote this novel incorporating all those things. I'm not sure that Faulkner or Hemingway have much to worry about, but I think you'll love this book. I was one of the authors, and I still do. If you want to settle down with a good romance, give Connecting Hearts a try.

Family Connections (written with MJ Walker)
ISBN: 0974412147

Family Connections

After MJ Walker and I wrote Connecting Hearts, we received a truckload of e-mail. (Think the scene with the judge in Miracle on 34th Street here.) We HAD to do a sequel. Okay, we did, and I think it's pretty darn good. A sophomore novel as good as the original? Believe it.

Pearl Had To Die
ISBN: 0977031829

Pearl Had To Die

Pearl Had to Die is not so much a collection of short stories as a trip to the farthest corners of my mind. Good stories don't have to be long; they just need to be entertaining. There's romance, heartbreak, mirth and erotica in this book. The novel is a great venue for writers, but try to get the same impact in less than half the time, and you'll see the challenge of the short story. The collection includes Unlimited Sexual Favors and More Unlimited Sexual Favors, written with MJ Walker.

Black's Magic (written with MJ Walker)
ISBN: 0975573926

Black's Magic

If James Bond were smarter, sexier and funnier, he'd be Addison Black. Black's Magic tells of the exploits of a female British secret agent who pits all her skills against the criminal element. When there is a threat of global proportion afoot, Addison is just the woman to deal with it. With the equally infuriating and captivating Dr. Skyler Tidwell, this is way more than your run-of-the mill spy novel.
