The forest is dying. The river is poison. Animals are fleeing. Something is terribly wrong. Digger must face his deepest fears to stop it, and discovers that even when things seem gone in the dark, they are often still there.

About Strian

$.99 New Release

A warrior with a wounded heart….
Strian Eindrideson has served alongside his friends since he was old enough to swing a sword, but beneath the handsome but brutal exterior lies a wounded heart. Separated ten years earlier from the only woman he ever loved, Strian searches for his missing wife until a pair of blue eyes captures his attention during a raid in Scotland. Those blue eyes could only belong to one woman. A woman he feared was dead but always hoped he would find. Now returned to their homeland, Strian must prove that he can be the protector and partner he swore to be all those years ago.
Will love be enough to repair the damage caused by so many years apart?

A survivor with a painful secret…
Gressa Jorgensdottir thought she had everything her heart desired until a battle left her near death and torn away from the man she had married only months earlier. Ten years of living in Wales, first as a slave then as free woman, convinced Gressa that she would never again see the man who still holds a piece of her soul. When that man from her past returns her to a land where her Sami heritage makes her an outcast, Gressa must decide whether her life with Strian holds more promise than the pull from secrets that bind her to Wales.
Will their need to protect one another be their undoing?

Torn apart during one battle only to be reunited during another, Strian and Gressa must learn to trust one another again, sharing the truth of their time apart while relying upon one another to survive. Rivals for their affection, secrets and half-truths, and an ever present threat from a common enemy test Strian and Gressa’s resolve.
Will their pasts drive them apart even when their hearts call to one another?

Viking Glory is a steamy historical series that will transport you back to the world of the ancient Norse with brave heroes and even stronger heroines. The series follows the lives and loves of five friends. Brother and sister, Leif and Freya, along with their cousin, Bjorn, and their friends Strian and Tyra sail the seas and conquer hearts. This is a four book series where each book can be read as a standalone but is best read as part of the series.

Never Left Behind  

About Never Left Behind

How far would you go to be reunited with your dog? Never Left Behind is the compelling and incredible true story account of Chef entrepreneur, Paul Barthel, who refused to be separated from his Labrador Retriever while going through a highly contentious divorce, making headlines.

A compelling memoir that submerges the reader inside the bowels of derelict kitchens, offering the vivid account of a man — a chef for over 30 years — who would leave his knives behind and summon the same determination he found on the line in those kitchens to be reunited with his best friend. Separated for three years, impassioned, he mounted a campaign fighting for his dog’s return, and grass roots stewardship efforts for laws protecting those creatures for an array of travails. In 2017, Illinois would become one of the first states to pass a bill recognizing pets in further seeking the best interest of the animal in domestic cases.

A heartwarming story, Never Left Behind will leave you laughing with behind the scenes restaurant kitchen anecdotes, while also inspiring you to find your spirit in life, however more importantly, question our human-animal relationship bond we share and how we allow animals to be treated.

A true story, Never Left Behind will offer you pause, recognizing, while as humans we may brandish a larger stick, does not allow us the fortitude for mistreatment or exploitation those animals we must hold dear. After reading, you will choose to look differently at those pets we welcome into our homes and those on our farms.
