HIS BLOOD LIKE TEARS

This unique novel spins a tale centered on Mary, the Magdalene—a story of life, death, violence, and forgiveness.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Mary of Magdala is healed, she remembers nothing about her years possessed by seven demons. What she recalls is the death of her family—supposedly at the hands of Romans. Homeless, a widow, she joins the traveling disciples of Jesus of Nazareth and develops friendships with all of the followers, but especially with Thaddeus and Simon the Zealot.

Thaddeus was looking for a teacher with knowledge greater than his own, a man with wisdom and purpose, but he never expects his life or lifestyle to change. When he finds Jesus, the new Rebbe is a man like none other, with a mission and a ministry that open vistas, relationships and a future Thaddeus had never imagined.

Simon the Zealot is a man of violence, vengeance, and hatred. When he meets Jesus, he is transformed, finds a new purpose, and becomes a new man. When he meets Magdalene, he finds friendship and a final healing.

But the disciples and Magdalene are all too human. Though they travel and learn from the great Teacher, they are not completely free of the shadows in their pasts, until they face the greatest betrayal and horror of all—the death of their friend on the cross.

ASHES TO ASHES

Although not part of the Rhea Lynch, M.D. Series, this book could be considered a prequel. It has the same fictional setting and features Ashlee Davenport, the main character in SLEEP SOFTLY, and Rhea Lynch's favorite emergency room nurse.

Ashlee Chadwick Davenport has been a widow for only a month when she finds disturbing evidence suggesting that her husband Jack—pillar of the community, church deacon, principled businessman—might have been much less honorable than he seemed. There are recordings of anonymous phone calls alleging Jack was involved in unsavory business transactions. Records of shady land deals. And she finds letters that hint at even darker dealings....

RAPID DESCENT  January 2009 — MIRA BOOKS
Stand alone thriller.

The kayak trip was supposed to be a honeymoon. But when Nell and Joe are caught in a flash flood, Nell is swept under, trapped, and loses consciousness. She awakens, safe on shore, to find a note from Joe explaining that he has gone for help. He never returns.
    The search that follows raises more questions than it answers—about the family he never mentioned, who arrive in Nell's sleepy hometown; about the enormous inheritence; and worse, the question whispered by the locals ... is Nell responsible?
    Always hoping for Joe's return, Nell tries to put the rumors behind her. But as years slip past, she craves answers. Nell retakes the river in search of the truth and finds that jealousy, desperation and deception can pull you under faster than churning water—and you may never resurface.
