The River Crossing is a boy-meets-girl romance novel oscillating between late 1800s Ireland and present day. Daisy, a Catholic girl from a farming family of meager means, meets Morgan, a Protestant boy from an educated family with political influences. Their ensuing love story is seen through the present-day perceptions of Chloe, a coming-of-age and clever but somewhat confused woman. The novel embraces elements of fantasy; telepathy and cellular communication are examined. You will meet a 'talking' horse! The storyline emphasizes the complexities and conundrums . . . and perhaps, some believe, the crises facing modern day. Any political undertones are subtle and left to the reader to contemplate or not. The story is underscored with a deliberation between the concepts of religious faith versus scientific enlightenment . . . and hints that, perhaps, they are the same. At times, light-hearted and witty, at others, dark and brooding, The River Crossing takes you on a spellbinding journey of love and romance all the while eccompassing the porportions of tragedy in a unique and interesting way.

The Measure of Time is a romance novel, but with a twist. It is the story of Violet, a woman who embarks on a journey similar to Dorothy's of The Wizard of Oz. Unlike young Dorothy, Violet is a menopausal, anxious, and discontented fifty-six-year-old. She is beginning to face the uncomfortable questions of her own mortality, relationships with others, and the validity of the life she has so far led. The story leads you into a landscape filled with questions of romance, the confusion of sexuality, the repetitions of history, and the pitfalls of denying truth. Violet's journey is a reminder to us all, no matter who we are or where we are from, that all through the ages, our struggles are the same.
