I have a dual purpose for this official web site. The first has to do with writing my Winds Over Charleston novel series. The second is introducing you to my best friend,Jesus Christ.
Tea at Charleston's Thoroughbred Club
Check back later for new updates to my website, including when my first Christian romantic suspense novel will be published.
Tender Deception
- Book 1 in the "Winds Over Charleston" Series:
A low country plantation house and curving staircase
Rachel Ann York has no idea that love, adventure, and a shocking revelation await her in Charleston, South Carolina. What can be better than spending a summer taking care of a five-year-old girl on a working tea plantation? Most importantly, she wants to investigate her brother's Atlantic plane crash and death reported by the Charleston DEA. She arrives and discovers a handsome new owner back from Vietnam--the child's father--who knows nothing about her job offer by his deceased uncle. He threatens to send her home. Even with his eye patch, bitterness and distrust, Luke Markham almost captures her heart until the night she comes to think he is following in the footsteps of his pirate ancestor, only in drug smuggling. Rachel finds her faith tested by deception, danger and love. Will Luke find his faith again--and a second chance at love?

Are you blessed with grandchildren? We prayed 14 years for a grand baby while the doctors were saying our son Tim was sterile. But God....!
Read my true story "The Grand Baby Afghan" about the birth of our grandson, Samuel Timothy Martin, in the June 2009 issue of Mature Living Magazine, editor Rene Holt. Here is a recent photo of Sam I took from the front seat of the
car. He was reaching for the camera! How about "Uncle Sam wants you?"
Samuel means "heard of God."
