Third Time’s the Charm?
Yes, I have changed the covers of the four books in The Lazare Family Saga…again. (Please be patient while I update all the places where the old covers appear and I have the power to change them, including this website.)

Now in Audio: The Complete Lazare Family Saga!
The complete Lazare Family Saga, my historical fiction quartet, is now available in audio.
Necessary Sins Is An Audiobook!
At long last, my favorite format of Necessary Sins is live: the audiobook! I’m even more excited now than I was at the initial publication of this novel—because I think my writing is good, but I know my narrator is great! His name is Dallin Bradford. At the bottom left of the cover, tap the play…
How I Found My Audiobook Narrator
I’ve been an audiobook addict for years. I listen to an average of two books per week while commuting or doing housework.

If you’re a U.S. member of Amazon Prime, that means you can read the Kindle edition of Necessary Sins for free…
What I’m Working On Now
Now that I’ve published all four books in my Lazare Family Saga, I’ve had interviewers and readers asking about my next project. My answer will disappoint many. It disappoints me too.
