The Highlander's Bride Returns


Lady Sutherland lost everything when her father, Laird Sutherland, ordered his soldiers to secret her out by boat the night Laird MacKay laid siege on her castle. She even lost her homeland when a storm displaced her to a faraway land. Now, after three long years, Daniella returns to Scotland with her three soldiers and two Siberian Husky dogs.

Patrick Gordon, the Earl of Huntly, is convinced that his betrothed is dead after searching for her for three years. Patrick agrees to marry the daughter of a thorn in his side to make peace.

With rekindled hope, Patrick resumes his search to find that his betrothed indeed lives, but Daniella Sutherland is not the proper lady of a laird anymore, but a warrior with a willful spirit. Her unconventional lifestyle sparks something within Patrick, and he will do anything to protect her.

  Book Cover


The Lewis and Clark Conspiracy:

Mysterious Disappearances, A Secret Agent, and the Untold Story of the Plot to Divide America


When President Thomas Jefferson commissioned Lewis and Clark to explore the Louisiana Territory, a cloud of international conspiracy threatened their progress through the untamed expanse of the western American continent.

Caught in the middle was an unlikely hero, William Halloway. He was an American sailor taken prisoner in Santa Fe by order of the Spanish Crown, and pressed into the perilous journey to intercept the Corp of Discovery. This journey was fraught with impossible circumstances, shifting allegiances, and numerous casualties. He battled against the machinations of a commanding officer with a murderous agenda and against the most brutal elements of nature. With every step, he navigated treacherous landscapes where danger lurked at every turn and forced him to confront his deepest fears. In a race against time and avenging adversaries, he summoned every ounce of courage and resilience to ensure Lewis and Clark's safety and success, preserve the well-being of a new nation, and secure his survival amidst the chaos of the savage wilderness.

Written in his own words, the discovery of William Halloway's journal in 2015 lends incredible personal and historical insight into the desperation to survive in the remote wilderness of the North American continent in the early 19th century, and a crucial crossroads of America's history.
