Published: May 1st, 2015 

She had arranged to meet her husband in Northern Ireland for a second honeymoon, but when Charleigh arrives at the remote castle, she receives a message that he won’t be coming—and that he’s leaving her for another woman. Stranded for the weekend by a snowstorm that has blocked all access to the castle, she finds herself three thousand miles from home in a country she knows nothing about.

She is soon joined by Sean Bracken, the great-grandson of Laird Bracken, the original owner of the castle, and she finds herself falling quickly and madly in love with him. There’s just one problem: he’s dead.

As the castle begins to come alive with secrets from centuries past, she finds herself trapped between parallel worlds. Caught up in a mass haunting, she can no longer recognize the line between the living and the dead. Now she’s discovering that her appearance there wasn’t by accident—and is more sinister than she ever suspected.

Author's Favorite Books/Series

My favorite series is The Mists of Ireland by Erin Quinn - Haunting Beauty, Haunting Warrior, Haunting Embrace and Haunting Desire

A favorite book is The Ghost and Mrs. Muir by R.A. Dick; though it’s a short story, it leads the imagination into delectable places

What Dreams May Come by Richard Matheson is the first book I ever read twice without getting up from my chair

Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell is so multi-layered, from the variety of diverse characters to the backdrop of war and reconstruction

In Cold Blood by Truman Capote was the book that convinced me that I wanted to write

Among her clients were the Central Intelligence Agency, United States Secret Service, U.S. Information Agency, and Department of Defense.

Her historical suspense, River Passage, was a 2010 Best Fiction and Drama Winner. It was determined to be so historically accurate that a copy of the book resides at the Nashville Government Metropolitan Archives in Nashville, Tennessee.

Songbirds are Free is her bestselling book to date; it is inspired by the true story of Mary Neely, who was captured in 1780 by Shawnee warriors near Fort Nashborough (now Nashville, TN).
