A contemporary Western tale of survival with the heart of James Herriot's "All Creatures Great and Small" and the thriller ride of Cormac McCarthy's "No Country for Old Men."Which is worse, the guns of New York or the dangerous desert of New Mexico?In 1976, the best a black kid in Harlem can hope for is to work for the mob or pick up extra bucks as an informer. It may be too late for Rand to get out, but that won't stop him from trying to save his brother, Bo. When strangers appear on the streets of Harlem, Rand hatches a crazy plan to use them to send Bo to a place that is so desolate and removed from Harlem that no one will dare follow him. Once there, all Bo has to do is find a way to stay alive.Christina had no choice when she helped rescue Bo by hiding him deep in the desert. But can she lead both the mafia and the FBI away permanently? Or will her growing attraction to Warren, the FBI agent, ruin everything?Soul of the Desert was shortlisted in the CWA's Dagger Debut competition in 2003.

Drissa needs a place to hide, and she needed it yesterday. Wendal, with its rumors of inhospitable shifters, unknown terrain and wild magic, is not a territory many want to explore, making it the perfect place to disappear. Now, the last thing Drissa needs is to adopt more trouble, but what can she do when it hatches at her feet and then insists she drag it and a half-dead stranger to safety? But she'll do whatever is necessary to survive, because her younger sister can't wait forever to be rescued. Of course, Wendal and its inhabitants aren't necessarily interested in her long-term plans or her survival.

But if magic can't locate her living body, how can one stubborn cat achieve the impossible? Does enough magic really exist in the world to bring her back over?
