Novel Manuscripts

These are my two latest novel manuscripts. Both are unpublished, as I am currently seeking representation.

A painting of three Regency women with The Months of Payne: September book title at the top against a teal background.

The Months of Payne: September

Headstrong September longs to crawl out from beneath her father’s velvet glove and take control of her life. She has just the plan to do it, too: marry and quickly become a widow. Too bad someone will have to die, namely the elderly Earl-next-door. Her plans go awry when she meets his second son, Roderick. Soon she’s completely out of control!

Cover art “Temptresses” by Charles Haigh-Wood.

A color picture of tall, skinny pine trees, with the book title Pineywoods in white positioned vertically between two tree trunks.

Pineywoods

His best friend’s increasingly racist and radicalized behavior will force Austin, a high school football star with a secret that could cost him his life in the rural Pineywoods of East Texas in the 1980’s, to choose between safety and his soul.
