It’s a joy to hear from readers about my novels. This landed in my inbox recently & made me look at writing differently. A kindred spirit here. So thankful she found my books in the sea of them out there. Thank you, thank you.
Baker Book House Pre-orders!
Dear readers, I invite you to step back in time with me and explore the drama and danger of the 18th-century when George III became the last king of America. The Belle of Chatham began with my own ancestry and those Patriots and Loyalists in my family line who fought against each other. What must it have been like to choose sides …
Gorgeous Georgians

I have the amazingly gifted Hannah Linder to thank who is a fellow author as well as a stellar designer! Here’s both her lovely sites: Hannah Linder Designs …
Novel news!
I’m so surprised & delighted to learn The Rose & the Thistle made the ECPA bestseller list for January. It’s not often you see new titles on this list so it’s a double blessing.

Winter Chatp
Recently I ‘sat’ down with readers for a day in December and invited their questions. We talked Christmas and books! I’ll be doing these chats once a month on my Facebook author page and would love for you to join me next time in January. Here are a few fun questions from last time… Carey: I love to talk about …
