The Flames of Love and Revolution…
It is Czarist Russia, 1914. The Bolshevik Revolution has torn a family apart,
leaving Karena Peshkev and her mother, a Jewish midwife, to survive on their own
in the devastated city of St. Petersburg. As she works alongside her mother,
Karena dreams of attending medical school. When her mother is injured in an
accident, Karena carries on her work, helping peasant women in need of a
midwife.
One night, while helping a prostitute struggling in childbirth, Karena life is
endangered by a mob, and Cossac commander Colonel Aleksandr Kronstadt
intervenes, saving her life. This is not the first time Karena and the handsome
Russian officer have met—their bittersweet romance began years ago, but can it
survive the chaos of the Bolshevik Revolution?
Vibrant with historical detail and richly woven themes of danger, romance, and
God’s faithfulness, The Midwife of St. Petersburg is an eloquent tale portraying
the beauty and madness of a country that is about to change forever.

| Announcing book 3 in The Silk House" Trilogy: "Threads of Silk" |
| Book 2 "The Silk House" Trilogy Written on Silk |
"Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some
strange thing happened unto you, but rejoice, in that you are partakers of Christ's
sufferings, that when his glory shall be revealed, you may be glad also with exceeding joy."
I Pet 4:12,13
Rachelle Dushane-Macquinet, couturiere from a celebrated silk-making family in Lyon,
France, has the wonderful privilege of making a magnificent gown that will be brought
across the channel and presented to the queen of England. Yet, Rachelle feels a nagging
uneasiness as she remembers she is at the Chateau de Silk without ever having received an
official release as a lady-in-waiting to Princesse Marguerite from the Queen Mother,
Catherine d'Medici.
While Rachelle witnesses rampant persecution of French protestants from the powerful Duc
de Guise, Marquis Fabien has been planning a privateering voyage against Spanish
shipping in order to keep the notorious Duc Alva from resupplying his armies of
persecution against Dutch Protestants. Rachelle now fears that Fabien will be leaving at her
at a time when she needs him most. Though she begs him to stay, his determination to
complete his mission results an emotional departure.
During Fabien's absence, Maurice Beauvilliers sees his opportunity to win Rachelle and
manages to have her called back to court by the Queen Mother. Rachelle, however, is
convinced that the Queen Mother is responsible for poisoning her Grandmère and sister
Madeleine and welcomes the chance to spy on the Queen at court. Rachelle must walk a
tightrope to keep from making Madame le Serpent suspicious.
When the Spanish ambassador threatens the Queen Mother over
strange thing happened unto you, but rejoice, in that you are partakers of Christ's
sufferings, that when his glory shall be revealed, you may be glad also with exceeding joy."

| The Spoils of Eden The Dawn of Hawaii Series book 1 The waves lap dangerously close to the abandoned baby – abandoned by the Molokai leper colony of the late 1800s. The baby is at the center of an alternately tense and bittersweet romantic struggle between Eden Derrington and Rafe Easton. Eden and Rafe are in love, but Baby Kip may very well endanger their future together. It’s two generations after the on-fire missionaries have arrived on the Hawaiian Islands, and the descendants of those missionaries are drifting into complacency and materialism. SPIRITUAL THEMES: Personal, spiritual, and political tensions test the loyalty and faith of the characters. As they sort through their convictions, make difficult choices, and resolve long-hidden mysteries, Christ is formed in them. Can Eden hear the true voice of God calling in tropical paradise? Eden desires a lost father-daughter relationship…and finds the true relationship in Father God. |

Amid the looming spiritual and political crisis in Hawaii,
Rafe Easton and Eden Derrington are thrust into a
conflict that will forever change their beloved Hawaii.
Hawaii, home of the early missionaries, becomes an
empire of sugar and pineapple built by their children and
grandchildren. By 1892 the Treasure of the Pacific is
caught in a political revolution between those supporting
Queen Liliuokalani, and the new Hawaiians determined
to see the Stars and Stripes waving over Iolani Palace.
Rafe Easton hears the dark news that Townsend
Derrington is in San Francisco prowling about the house
on Nob Hill belonging to Parker Judson, Rafe’s partner in
the pineapple plantation. Rafe’s mother, Celestine, is
keeping out of sight with baby Kip inside the house. The
news is dire enough to convince Rafe to alter his near-
term plans in Honolulu. Having come to an agreement
with his fiancée, Eden Derrington, to allow her to work for
a year on Molokai at her father’s medical clinic while
meeting her dying mother, a leper, Rafe makes swift
plans to take a steamer to San Francisco to hunt down
Townsend who is guilty of Rafe’s father’s death, and
now stalking Celestine and Kip.
