A Captivating Tale of Dark Family Secrets, Heart-Breaking Betrayal and Loss
I'll come back for you--I promise...
Sage's world was turned upside down at the tender age of six. Her sister mysteriously vanishes, her mother disappears, and her father abandons her on a street corner in Harlem.
Rookie cop Liam McGregor finds Sage standing on a street corner, shivering, gripping a faded photo. Rather than handing her over to Child Protective Services, he takes her home, believing someone will eventually come forward for her. Unfortunately, no one does.
After graduating from college, Sage moves to Manhattan to chase her dreams and start a new life. Unfortunately, her new husband, Ayden De Carlo, was the victim of a ruthless execution-style murder, leaving a trail of mystery and unanswered questions for now, Detective Liam McGregor. Sage, heartbroken, leaves New York and purchases a stone cottage in rural Vermont, hoping to leave her painful and unresolved past behind her.
Soon after she began writing again--life was as peaceful as the natural backdrop of the Vermont countryside.
UNTIL... A mysterious stranger, an obscure phone call, and a tangled web of events unfold, challenging lead detective Liam McGregor and his team.
From page one, Willow Lake will mesmerize you with unique characters, heart-pulsing suspense, and a bit of humor and romance.

Like most writers, I began reading and writing at a very young age. At the age of four, I was more interested in what my older brother and father were reading, picking it up when they weren't looking! Old Mother West-wind stories were a favorite alongside numerous works of noted poets and authors(which I'm not sure I can mention.)By the age of eleven, I had written several poems and essays, molded under my father's guidance. Being an English major, it wasn't an easy task. As I got older, my interests shifted to the fiction genre, mostly suspense with a thread of romance, intrigue, and mystery. I chose a strong female lead in the Willow Lake Series. Sage, is haunted by a dark and painful childhood. After years of struggle, she moved to Manhattan, built a career, and began enjoying her new life, putting it all behind her. After a devastating loss, events unfolded, bringing to the surface her haunting past, family secrets, and ultimate betrayal. It's a fast-paced, suspenseful story within a story. Unbelievable twists and turns take you on a journey you won't soon forget. My next book Journey Beyond The Moon is a pleasant mix of fantasy and historical fiction. Hanna, the lead character, is a strong, determined, temperamental, young woman, with an edgy wit, facing the hardships of growing up a dirt farmer's daughter in the mid-1800's. Devastating circumstances shadow her small, valley town, pushing her to make the ultimate sacrifice, taking her on a journey above and beyond belief. A
