Release Day for Uncharted Journey!


Uncharted Journey is finally here!

Young widow Eva Vestal assumes loneliness is God’s permanent plan for her life. She keeps busy by raising her son and co-managing the Inn at Falls Creek with her elderly father, but her heart yearns for more.

Solomon “Solo” Cotter has spent his life working with horses, but he secretly wants to write a book of the children’s stories his grandfather told him as a boy. He barters with Eva’s father for a 40-night stay at the inn, a needed respite from work to get his stories on paper.

Once Eva discovers the barter, she believes Solo is taking advantage of her father’s failing memory. But when tragedy strikes and Solo works hard to save the inn, Eva sees his true nature. As her heart stirs with feelings for Solo, she wrestles with the guilt of loving someone new.

Meanwhile, outside the Land...

Bailey Colburn arrives at the coordinates of the Land on the autumn equinox and finds nothing but ocean. The sun sets, ending Bailey’s dream of a safe and simple life with the family she’s never known. Just when she decides Justin Mercer lied about visiting a hidden land in the South Atlantic Ocean and meeting Bailey’s distant relatives, the atmosphere around the boat changes and ushers her into an uncharted world, but her entrance into the Land comes at a devastating price.

Signed paperback copies available here.
Uncharted Journey is available on Amazon.

Uncharted Journey (#6) Now Available for Pre-order on Kindle


Uncharted Journey, Book 6 in the Uncharted series, is now available for pre-order on Kindle. Releasing November 9, 2018, this story follows Bailey Colburn (one of my favorite characters ever!) as she tries to enter the Land, and it also introduces us to the family that runs the Inn at Falls Creek. 

Here is the book description:

I had so much fun writing Uncharted Journey because Bailey is one of a kind and Eva and Solo’s story was a sweet, emotional journey for me. I love how God meets me on the page in ways I never expect. I hope you will be touched by this story too. I cant wait to share it with you!

If Henry Roberts did nothing else for the rest of his life but print and bind books, he would die a satisfied man. In order to secure settlement support for his printing press, the elder council says Henry must print an error-free copy of the New Testament before the settlement’s 8th anniversary celebration.
