White Buffalo (New Beginnings) Series

Book 1: Passionate Alliance

Jed Brown, also known as Grey Wolf teams up with a Cheyenne Chief named Giant Bear in order to track the Shadow Killers after both their families are brutally murdered. With his final breath, Jed's son tells his father the killers are after a woman in Dakota. Who she is nobody seems to know, whether North or South Dakota is a mystery! Once in the Dakota Territory, the two men meet a woman destined to help them; unknown to all is that she is the ultimate target.

Melissa Ray will do almost anything to keep the job she loves even if it means giving up all hopes of love, a husband, or children; the betrayal of one she trusts... followed by the massacre of almost everyone at her ranch, plus a long-forgotten event from her past resurfacing will test her resolve. She must struggle to keep herself from crossing a line that will destroy all the years of hard work she has accomplished.

In the attempt to rescue Melissa's crippled father from the desperado's of her past, she falls in love with Jed Brown the tortured drifter searching for justice. Are their trials over yet or will the love they share be tested over and over again... can it survive? Between outlaws and the furious brother of Giant Bear's wife, their love will be driven to the very limits… maybe even beyond!

Melissa and Giant Bear's wife both disappear mysteriously on their wedding day when a scheme of revenge against the woman who shot his brothers ensnares them all. With the two men killed in the process, who will save the women now.

Book 2: Raven and the Golden Eagle

Chief Giant Bear, blood brother to Jed Brown, had successfully lived all these years by his vow to find a way to live in peace with the white man. Now he finds himself in a quandary as a vision gone awry causes a chain reaction that will not stop snowballing; even Golden Dove his beautiful blonde wife turns against him. In desperation, he tries to save his people by forcing his beloved granddaughter into marriage with a reluctant captive Englishman.

Raven known to the people as their 'Protector', must stop not only her grandfather from forcing her into a loveless marriage but also the massacre of her people if she refuses to marry the Englishman. In her quest, she unearths a plot to take over the land as greed and hatred for her grandfather's peaceful ways threatens their way of life.

Devon, known as Lord Rochester the second son of the Earl of Rochester in England, had travelled thousands of miles in order to live for one year on a barren piece of land in the middle of the savage Montana wilderness. His grandfathers will stipulate he couldn't sell it otherwise. Disillusioned by court life and hating what the English nobility had become, he views this new change as an opportunity to get away from the life he hated; in the back of his mind was the possibility of starting a new life, even though his purpose in coming here is to sell it. Everything changes when his wagon train is wiped out by a Cheyenne war party and he is drawn unwillingly into a struggle between the peaceful bear tribe of the Cheyenne and an unknown source. The only way to save these people is to sacrifice his freedom and marry the granddaughter of the chief, but should he!

Mell and Jed must race from North Dakota to Western Montana to reach Giant Bear with a warning from the Cheyenne's sacred white buffalo before it is too late to save them all.

Book 3: Dream Dancer & the Celtic Witch

Earl Edward Summerset, the three quarter Cheyenne grandson of Chief Giant Bear; known to his people as Dream Dancer, finally finishes his schooling and becomes Doctor Summerset. He learns as he reaches manhood at the court of Queen Victoria the intricacies, power, and betrayal that the English nobility is capable of exhibiting! As his power grows within him, he must learn to become just like the people that would use him… cold and secretive.

Edward becomes drawn unexpectedly into a battle to save a reluctant Welsh heiress from the evil clutches of her cousin. Will he succeed in helping her or will he find himself in more danger than he thought possible as a power lying dormant since the beginning of time comes to life; sensing a way to be released, it tries to gain control of Dream Dancer through the Celtic Witch. Thwarted by another power it must find another way.

Crystin, the Lady of Llannor Castle… goddaughter, as well as a distant relation to Queen Victoria, wakes up with no memories and only the assurance of the Queen herself to go by. Betrothed against her will to the mysterious black-haired Earl of Summerset, whom she just learned was a savage from another country; she fights an inner struggle with herself to remember who she is. Starring at the stranger in the mirror, she touches her pure white hair then shudders in revulsion. The Celtic woman was sure it was not supposed to be this colour, but what could have happened to her to cause this! Putting her hand on her distended belly, she feels an unexpected maternal feeling. How she became pregnant was just as much a mystery to her as her pure white hair. She was sure she had never met Edward before so how could she be six months pregnant by him. Struggling to understand, she clutches the Celtic dragon medallion she was never without, but even it gave her no answers… only more questions!

Past musings and future thoughts regarding my series

A little more about my past and my passion for writing as well as what the future holds for my series:


  I began writing in my early 20's and it quickly became a passion for me, historical romance was my favorite reading material at the time and if it had a western theme I liked it even more. I quickly progressed to fantasy in my late 20's and even have two fantasy novels written and waiting for me to go finish them. It didn't take me long to decide to try and combine my two reading passions. I presently write historical westerns with a fantasy twist that will become more and more noticeable in my third book. As my time line gets closer to present day the western flavor will disappear to be replaced by the fantasy and I will combine my books into one series.
  I am quit excited about this twist to my books and hope my readers will appreciate the fact that I am not a typical writer and never wish to be stuck in one genre, my goal is to try having almost every genre in my series that I can possibly manage. So far I have managed to combine historical western romance with fantasy as well as a touch of mystery, and in there as well is a touch of Christianity. I am hoping to add more twists in the future but am unsure what those twists will be at the moment.
My series White Buffalo (New Beginnings) has two books out so far:
Book #1 Passionate Alliance                                                       Book #2 Raven and the Golden Eagle
 


  Currently I am working on Book #3 Dream Dancer and the Celtic Witch.
  Of course all opinions are welcomed at any time, please do not hesitate to leave me a message on my blog.
  The New Year is always a time for reflection and plans for the future and now you have an idea of mine.
All the best in 2012
