  • Of Dreams and Nightmares - uses grand historical descriptions to pull you back in time where you can enjoy the elegant comfort of upper crust English living as well as taste the dust kicked up by the wagon trains and feel all the backbreaking hardships as settlers travel across America to claim open land and create new lives.
  • The Whittaker Family Reunion - conveys a fascinating plot of mystery and intrigue with a touch of romance set in nineteenth century America. Read more here…
