Revised Second Edition. Set in modern day, but with haunting flashbacks to the mid-1900s, The Desk is a film-noir of a novel whose heroine, Jeagan Christensen, is forced by visions to become one gutsy gal in quest of answers. A desk, which comes into her possession as an antique, also brings with it the antiquity of an unrequited murder. It is the murder of an innocent, as Jeagan discovers in her quest, that was covered up to retain the honor of a class-conscious family. Against odds, which would daunt even the seasoned professional, Jeagan rushes forth oblivious to her amateur stature to put meat on the bones of an old skeleton that refuses to remain in the closet.

Val Atwell - wife of a nearly always-absent minister and mother of five, with two mares named Burt and Ernie; a golden retriever named George; twenty-five acres of rolling prairie in the heart of Highlands Ranch, Colorado; an old ranch house in need of much updating; and an Erma Bombeck sense of humor - finds her idyllic life shattered after the death of her photojournalist sister in a fiery automobile accident.

When the film is developed, Val's real nightmare begins. Pictures of what look like a fatal accident - or murder! - appear on the prints. Val takes the prints to the police who opt for the fatal accident and make little effort to investigate. Church members and family alike, except for an elderly, southern mentor - thwart Val's attempts to find out the truth about the incident and what it had to do with her sister's death.Val's amateurish, pesky, not-so-subtle investigation launches her directly into the path of a killer - a killer who thinks nothing of another murder, Rocky Mountain style!

The other side of time

Agatha Windham has lost her mind. Surely. Otherwise she wouldn't have nightmares about a small Jewess who is captured during WWII. Nor would she watch a German farmer step into her office out of a stained-glass window and request her help. After all, she lives in 1982 Cape Cod, and he just walked into her life from 1942. The Other Side of Time is a love story that draws a grieving widow into a time-travel adventure. Forty years peel away when she finds herself in the middle of WWII where capture, terror, and war confront her--but also new love. Yet her return to life in 1982 is equally threatening when she is faced with former Nazis bent on silencing her before she can reveal their despicable secret. Deal with both lives Agatha can and must while she decides on which side of time she wants to spend the rest of her life. But, before she can choose, her decision is cruelly snatched from her, and she must find a way back to the man she loves on the OTHER SIDE of time.

Finding Alan, the long-awaited sequel to The Desk, plunges Jeagan Christensen into yet another fast-paced adventure and journey of discovery. With the mystery of the 50-year-old murder, which was committed in Memphis's Court Square Park, solved and under her belt, Jeagan and her P.I. partner, Roger Sanderlin, are commissioned to find Isabel's son, who was stolen the day of his birth and sold to a Seattle attorney. Jeagan begins her search for Alan with very little evidence to go on: a 50-year-old letter from a Seattle attorney that references a $10,000 payment for Baby Alan. From her townhouse in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, she 'follows the money' to Seattle, Washington, then on to Victoria, British Columbia, and finally full circle back to Memphis, Tennessee. The search takes on a critical element when Isabel is rushed to a Memphis hospital after suffering a heart attack. Jeagan must find Alan before his birth mother's heart gives out completely. A race against time, a race against death with those who don't want the stolen son and heir apparent found. A vicious attack, a kidnapping, blood-red roses with threatening messages, documents that refuse to be found, guarded secrets that elude discovery, a fatal accident to silence a potential witness. Who can Jeagan trust when everyone appears to be hiding behind a mask of civility? Her sheer will and tenacity must keep her safe from those who want to silence her for good while she attempts to unravel the 50-year-old mystery and reunite the long-lost Alan with his family.

Finding Alan

Twelve-year-old Jenny Anderson’s life is a wreck! Her brother, Austin--a freshman wide receiver at Colorado State University--has been accused of dealing drugs. No way! Jenny knows he’s innocent, and somehow she has to prove it--especially when Austin and their parents are leaving his fate in the hands of the family attorney, who claims he’ll take care of everything. Hardly! With no one to help her solve the mystery, her golden retriever, Shiloh, leads her to a cave--one she didn’t even know existed--behind their Franktown, Colorado home. They wind their way through the cave, which is filled with living breathing soil, glittering walls and a thunderous waterfall. When they exit the other end of the cave, they find themselves almost 100 years in the future--a future filled with endlessly fascinating innovations and gadgets, as well as violent weather and terrifying creatures. There they also encounter a mysterious old man, who offers his help to clear Austin’s name. But, before Jenny can prove her brother’s innocence, he’s arrested for assault and battery. If the victim dies, the charge will be murder! Who's setting up Austin and why? Jenny has to find out in a race against time--and a race against those who want to stop her investigation dead in its tracks!
