Return to Carr Valley
Welcome back to Carr Valley, a small town nestled in one of the most beautiful parts of the Texas Hill Country. It's here that three women who forged a friendship so strong that they call each other their sisters of the heart have a chance to rebuild their lives and maybe, just maybe, find true love.
Whenever I create a fictional town, I hope it'll feel real to my readers, so you can imagine how pleased I was when one of the early reviews of Whispers in the Valley said, "Carr Valley is an awesome place to live. I feel like it's my home."
Of course there's more to a book than simply the setting.
Whispers in the Valley is the story of Victoria Holton, whose life changed dramatically -- and not for the better -- after her father was imprisoned for embezzlement, and Peter Mulholland, Carr Valley's minister, who faces the most serious challenge of his career.
And there's even more, including a mystery that Victoria's determined to solve and the truth behind the stranger who comes to town. As the teaser on the back cover says, Carr Valley will never be the same.
In case you were wondering, here's the teaser:
A woman whose life is in shambles.
A man who's fighting for his future.
A decades-old-mystery.
Carr Valley will never be the same.

The Book Readers Call My Best One Yet
The First in a New Series
Authors aren't supposed to have favorite books, but Echoes of Sunrise, the first of the Sisters of the Heart trilogy, has a special place in my heart, so I was delighted when readers told me they thought it was my best book yet.
In Echoes of Sunrise, you'll meet Sophia Carr, a woman whose plans for the future are upended by a tragic fire that threatens her hometown, and Gideon Spencer, an up-and-coming architect who's abandoned his own dreams to protect his best friend's baby.
A baby to protect. A town to save.
Is a marriage of convenience the only answer?
It was so much fun creating a new fictional town, but - like many of you - I hated to leave my earlier towns, so I've given several of the characters from two previous series cameo roles in this one. Which ones? That would be a spoiler, and I hate spoilers. Let's just say you might be surprised.
Have I intrigued you? If so, I invite you to learn more about Echoes of Sunrise by clicking below.
