GUYS!!! I am so excited about this release! As I wrote Above Rubies, the story gripped my heart. Olivia's unique struggle forced me to write things I never dreamed I'd write. And Gabe... well, you'll have to meet Gabe for yourself. Actually, if you read Aboard Providence, you've met these two, but it was a superficial meeting. Their depth and strength has left an indelible mark on my soul. I hope you will be captured by their story too.
Here's a little about Above Rubies:
It’s 1863, and schoolteacher Olivia Owens believes education should be a top priority in the newly established settlement of Good Springs. Between planning lessons and helping out on her family’s homestead, Olivia doesn’t have time for Gabriel McIntosh’s charming advances. When the council denies her request to build a schoolhouse, Olivia must challenge their ruling and teach private lessons—all while hiding frequent bouts of word blindness (dyslexia). If the council knew the new teacher couldn’t always read, they wouldn’t allow Olivia to teach anymore.
As a carpenter, Gabe McIntosh is working hard to help build the settlement of Good Springs, and once his land is granted, he begins constructing his own house. When Olivia discovers he plans to share it with her, she guards her heart from him. But Gabe is determined to win her affection and figure out what she’s hiding.

Above Rubies is now available in paperback and on Kindle. You can order a signed copy from my website. The audiobook will be available by summer.
I can't wait to share this journey with you!
