A Sneak Peek (and New Website)!

I've been busy with a few things that have taken precedence over my usual weekly postings, but I've gotten a lot done! I'd like to announce my new website, which will contain anything and everything concerning my published books, including release dates, book signings, and where you can find them once they are available! I've also been updating this blog, which now includes a sneak peek at my current work-in-progress, which has also, happily, been taking up my time. I would guess I'm just over halfway done.
Thanks for your patience!

The Sound: A Branch off The Orchard Trilogy

Sam Brennan has everything going for him. He has a great job with a future (he's a sous-chef at an exclusive Puget Sound restaurant), he has a house (well, it's a rental duplex fixer-upper, but it's on the island), a cool ride (his old motorcycle . . . yeah, it rains a lot in Seattle), and an ideal girlfriend (who used him to get back her brand new fiance). Yes, things are going great for Sam, until a frightened girl shows up in the kitchen. Then it all falls apart.
Georgiana Tate has always been strong, confident, a bright spot in the universe. But she's fallen in love, and finds herself trapped and abused, surrounded in gray, forgetting the black and white that once defined her and her faith. In a desperate effort to break free of Ian's hold over her, Georgie leaves college and runs to her aunts' house on Camano Island, hoping to be able to shake the fear and paranoia of abuse, and find herself again.
She doesn't know that the key to healing will be finding others. Or that Ian's hold is stronger than she realized.
