Title: Warrior's Song
Series: Song Series - BOOK I
Description:
Dear Reader:
Chandra first appeared in 1984. I've rewritten it extensively and changed the title to Warrior's Song, as this book rightfully belongs in the Song series.
--
Chandra de Avenell might look like a golden princess, but she fights like a warrior, dreams a warrior's dreams, and wears a warrior's pride like a suit of armor. She wants to be strong, independent, and free. She has no use at all for a husband.
--
Enter the man her father has selected for her. Jerval de Vernon takes one look at Chandra, and he wants her. After he saves her from a very bad situation, he sets himself to wooing her - not an easy task.
--
How does a man convince a woman he coerces into marriage to become a wife? To give him her loyalty and her trust? Love is something he would like her to consider as well. But what if the wife has no intention of cooperating? Does he break her or finally give up on her?
--
Warrior's Song introduces Graelam de Moreton, a real bad boy, who has his mate thrust upon him in the second book of this series, Fire Song.
Title: Fire Song
Series: Song Series - BOOK II
Description:
Kassia closed her eyes, her body trembling, as Graelam caressed her lips with his fingertips, then lowered his head and kissed the warm satiny softness of her flesh, where no man had ever touched her before.
She had not willingly chosen to become the wife of this bold English knight who had brought her to his castle, carried her to his waiting bed, and threatened to conquer her throbbing senses in a whirlwind of passion.
--
Graelam's powerful arms crushed Kassia against him, as he unfastened her velvet gown. Her beauty was breathtaking, irresistible, and arouse him to a fiery passion. But her unyielding pride drove him to a savage rage. Marriage had made him master of her body, but now a rising fire-hot need demanded more than submission. He must claim her complete surrender with the dark ecstasy of love.

Title: Secret Song
Series: Song Series - BOOK IV
Description:
You met Roland de Tournay in Earth Song - a handsome rogue with a subtle wit and quick tongue who was variously an actor, and adventurer, a master of disguise.
--
Now in Secret Song he meets his destiny when he must rescue from a Welsh stronghold Daria of Fortesque - as daring, as clever, as fascinating as he is himself.
--
The link between these two is as strong as the finely forged steel of Roland's sword, but being an obstinate man, he resists it with all his might.
Title: Rosehaven
Series: Song Series - BOOK V
Description:
Come back to England in the year 1277 and meet Hastings of Trent and Severin of Langthorne, two strangers joined in marriage.
--
Hastings is an heiress and Severin is the warrior whom the dying Earl of Oxborough has selected to assume his title, properties, possessions, and his daughter. It is Severin's duty to sire children, to bring strong new blood to the line, and keep Oxborough powerful.
--
Hastings thinks he's cold-blooded, severe, merciless. Severin doesn't smile, he looks capable of cruelty, he inspires fear. Then a marten appears over the top of his tunic.
--
Now, who can be afraid of a man who carries a marten in his tunic?
(What is a marten, you ask? A marten is a sable; a sable is a weasel. What is a weasel, you ask. See marten.)
--
As for Hastings, Severin believes she should be obedient, submissive, malleable. She should speak softly and do whatever he wants, immediately.
--
Both are in for a surprise.
Sweeping you through this medieval adventure are the and other richly drawn characters, among them Gilbert the goat and Alfred the Healer's cat. And of course, there is Trist, the marten, perhaps the most richly drawn of all. And what, you will ask, is this mysterious place called Rosehaven?
Title: The Penwyth Curse
Series: Song Series - BOOK VI
Description:
How would you like to be eighteen and four times a widow? If you live with a curse, sometimes things like this happen. And so they did.
--
We have two sets of heroes/heroines; one set is in the present (1278 A.D.) and the other set is, quite simply, sometime else. We have both over- and underlapping stories, a dynamite mystery, lovers underfoot (visit with Dienwald and Philippa from Earth Song) and mega-doses of magic and mayhem.
--
Come back to the present, and maybe even further back than that. I hope you have lots of fun, and smile until your jaws lock.

When Garron of Kersey returns home from the king's service to claim his title as Baron Wareham, he's shocked to find Wareham Castle very nearly destroyed by a man called the Black Demon.
--
According to the last starving servants still clinging to life inside the castle walls, the Black Demon was looking for gold belonging to Garron's brother Arthur. Among his remaining servants is the enigmatic Merry, the bastard child of the castle's priest. Garron quickly realizes that she is much more than a servant: She reads and writes and makes lists, just as he does. Together they bring Wareham back to its former splendor.
--
But this is only the beginning. Did Arthur have a cache of gold? Who is the Black Demon? And the biggest question of all: Who is Merry?
