The sound was unlike anything she’d ever heard. Was the slot machine broken or...

While recuperating from a devastating automobile accident, Emily Sane discovers she has the ability to walk into any casino and tell which slot machine is going to pay off. Her heightened sense of hearing—a direct result of her accident—actually allows her to detect the subtle change in pitch of the reels as they line up for the winning combination.

After testing her theory in local casinos and nearly going to jail for suspected cheating, Emily moves to Las Vegas to cash in on her talent before it disappears. On paper, her plan sounds like a winner. Move to Vegas, get a day job to cover the fact that she’s hitting jackpots in every single casino, win the million dollar jackpot, then split. In actuality, however, what she she gets is a dead neighbor on her doorstep, an attraction to a man she’s not sure she can trust, blackmail, involvement in a Secret Service investigation, and a contract put out on her life.

Emily’s determination to use her talent to win the biggest slot jackpot takes her down a path with only two possible outcomes: more money than she ever dreamed possible, or death by the hand of a professional hit man.

Blue Moon

Romantic Mystery/Suspense, ebook and paperback

Mary Corbett's calm, orderly existence is shattered the moment she sets foot on an old, run-down Louisiana plantation. Even though she's never been there before, she recalls details about the house that only someone who actually lived in it would know. If that weren’t bad enough, she finds that her attraction to the other curator, Jack Windom, hasn’t lessened since they last worked together. In fact, as they spend time together on the estate, she realizes she’s falling in love with him. Unfortunately for her, he’s already spoken for.

When she and Jack attend a Blue Moon Voodoo ceremony, she has a "clear-sighted vision" about the former owners, both of whom mysteriously disappeared over a hundred years ago. Even though she's never been psychic, she continues to "see" bits and pieces of their lives. Shortly thereafter, the ghostly apparition of the former mistress, Magdalene Laroussard, appears to her and begs for help. When Magdalene continues to ask for help, Mary realizes what she has tried all along to deny—that she is somehow tied to this house and to Jack. She makes up her mind to not only buy the run-down plantation and turn it into a bed and breakfast, but to also solve the mystery of what happened to Jean-Pierre and Magdalene Laroussard.

Her determination to find the key to their disappearance is fraught with danger. When she learns that members of a local Voodoo cult have vowed to protect her from harm, she can't help but wonder who's going to protect her from them.

Breaking the Chain

Mystery/Suspense, ebook and paperback
Sequel to Blue Moon

Some paths are destined to cross again...

You would think that after helping a ghost find peace by solving a hundred-year-old mystery and thwarting a murderess' plans, Mary Corbett's life as an estate curator would settle back into a normal routine. Well, one can always wish...

At the moment, things couldn't be better. Not only is she married to her beloved Jack, but her dream of owning a bed and breakfast has come true, thanks to the help of her very rich, but snotty Aunt Elizavon. Now that the Blue Moon Inn is open, there's just one thing left for Mary to do—invite Sadie and Justine, the two elderly women who served as the plantation's former housekeepers, back for a visit.

What Mary doesn't know is that Sadie, the elderly Voodoo priestess who predicted the series of events that brought Mary and Jack together, is also searching for her. But Sadie's reasons are much more pressing—she's started having visions again, and this time they're worse than before.

After Sadie arrives, Mary starts having ESP flashes of her own. Why is she seeing ghosts again, and how is her life tied to the "brown man" that Sadie's so afraid of? What kind of trouble is he destined to bring, and worse yet, how does Sadie know he's going to visit the inn?
