Unknown, Unseen—Under the Radar
“The eye can’t see what the mind doesn’t know.” Unknown
During their junior year, three teens register at Riverbank High—three among two thousand. The new students show up for classes, take notes and hand in assignments.
Unnoticed, they walk among the crowds of young people that hustle through the corridors and pack into classrooms. But beneath their outward appearance, each bears a hidden trauma that goes unknown and unseen.
In time, their paths cross and friendships form. Then one goes missing.

Terrifying Freedom
Truth can be elusive, choices disconcerting—
the promise of moral certitude, irresistible.
In the Midwestern offices of Secure Star Insurance, Rebecca, efficient and distant, seeks only to survive another day. Sally, earnest and devout, views the workplace as a fertile mission field. Into the agency comes a new employee, Gladys, gregarious, unorthodox and twice divorced. When Andrew, an intuitive HR manager, arrives, veneers begin to crack.
To move beyond her smouldering cynicism, Rebecca must come to terms with her past. Four years earlier, she was Sr. Rebecca Marise, living in a convent replete with younger members and garnering the support of an increasing number of bishops and conservative Catholics.
When an older nun has a heart attack, Rebecca is abruptly sent to a backwater mission in Appalachia. Distanced from the enclave of the motherhouse and embedded in the social realities of the missionary outpost, Rebecca is thrust into uncharted waters.

Dawn Through the Shadows
Often through the shadows, we more clearly see the light.
Continuing from Terrifying Freedom, Dawn Through the Shadows delves into the background of Andrew Covick and his engagement with a "high-demand" church Movement, the Proclaimers of Christ.
From his unsuspecting association during his college years to his startling, unsought involvement many years later, this fast-paced novel will keep you turning pages.
Dawn Through the Shadows reaffirms the resilience of the human spirit, our innate longing for authenticity, and the reach of love beyond remorse and rejection.
Dawn Through the Shadows is a stand-alone sequel to Terrifying Freedom.
