​ONE SILENT CHRISTMAS NIGHT
2023

2012. Broken in mind and body by the second of two tours in Afghanistan, Army veteran Nicolas Arrington returns home to Pocono Falls, Pennsylvania, several days before Christmas. Unsure if he can pick up the pieces of his life following his grandparents’ deaths, he is plagued by the painful memories of his past, until an old ornament and an unbelievable miracle one silent Christmas night sets him on the path of hope and renewal for his life… and possibly a second chance at love.

1944. The Ardennes Forest, Belgium. American soldier Joseph Stonebridge and his 28th Division are pinned down by the advancing Nazis, and forced to retreat toward the city of Bastogne at a terrible cost. As Christmas draws near and the siege of the city tightens, citizens and soldiers alike must unite in one of the coldest winters on record and find the courage to survive until help arrives—if it arrives in time before the Germans. But in the midst of darkness, light shines that much brighter, and enduring promises of hope are made.

A dual-timeline story that reminds us of the power of love and family, even when life seems paralyzed by its darkest moments.

WHEN HERALD ANGELS SING
2023

​2023. Thomas Sinclair, a one-time bestselling author, hasn’t written anything in five years, not since the tragic death of his beloved wife. But when an old pocket watch and a bundle of love letters reveals a mysterious secret, he discovers the inspiration for a new novel—a love story between an opera singer and a wealthy recluse—one that might just catapult him back into the ranks of the bestsellers once more. And perhaps, a second chance for love. But only if he can believe the impossible.

1863. Arabella Somers dreams of one day starring in the Metropolitan Opera House in Philadelphia, if she can only set aside the sorrows that haunt her. With her parents long since in their graves, Arabella has only her brother as her family. But with nearly every able-bodied man called away to war, including her brother, she lives a solitary life away from the opera house. Until a mysterious newspaper correspondent crosses her path. But why is she so drawn to him and how can she feel such instant love for a man she has never met before?

A dual-timeline story that reminds us that Christmas and second-chance love have the power to heal the most broken of hearts.

HEAR THE BELLS RING
2024 

2019. Abigail Moyer, an aspiring author, needs some inspiration, especially after receiving yet another rejection letter from one too many publishers. Hoping a change in scenery and her life will supply the needed inspiration, she heads home to picturesque Buckingham, Pennsylvania and her parents’ farm for Christmas. There she discovers an engagement ring of an assumed lost ancestress and a mystery that sparks within her an idea for a love story she hopes will finally get her noticed. But when a chance meeting brings a handsome stranger across her path, she may also find the inspiration for a love story of her own. If only she dares to believe the impossible.

1861. Eleanor Benton wants only one thing in life: the chance to marry the handsome and quiet farmhand she has known most of her life. But as a once-orphaned boy who has worked on the farm since he was ten, Ethan is unworthy of her according to her parents who wish for her to marry someone else. When duty calls, Ethan enlists in the Union Army to fight for his country. He promises to return to her, but as Eleanor waits at home, all she has is his vow inscribed on an engagement ring she keeps hidden from her parents. But will it prove enough to bring comfort to her anxious heart?

A dual-timeline story that begs the question of whether it is possible for love to be so strong that it can reach across time.

UPON THE MIDNIGHT CLEAR
​
2024
2018. Seventy-one-year-old Vietnam veteran Jack Williams leads a solitary life on the streets of Philadelphia helping the homeless. That wasn’t always the case. Once it was him who needed the help as he found his way back through the darkness of his past. One night, though, he finds himself sent back to a Christmas long ago—before he lost everything to serving his country and the horrors of battle—to get a second chance to meet again the woman he once loved more than life itself. 

1968. Juliette Lewis has her whole life ahead of her. She’s young and beautiful, and dreams of becoming a writer. With a horrific war half a world away in Vietnam, all she can think about is her missing brother who returned home, but not to his waiting family.

Until one day, an unexpected stranger crosses her path, and the man she loves delivers shattering news that will change the course of her life forever.

FROM REALMS OF GLORY
​
2025
2016. When wounded Army-medic-turned-doctor Matthew Godwin awakens, he has no memory of the last eleven years due to a traumatic head injury, including his wife. Worse, his mind can’t remember anything for more than a day since each night when he falls asleep, his memory erases and he reawakens with his life reset to eleven years in the past.

Jennifer Lowell sits by Matthew’s bedside each morning, waiting for her husband to awake. She is torn by her love for him and their uncertain future, including a secret she dares not reveal to him. Every day, as her hope slowly begins to fade, she prays for a miracle that will give her back the man she loves, no matter the cost. But what if his memory loss is permanent?
​

GOD REST YE MERRY
​
Forthcoming… November 1, 
2025
2024. Sean Montgomery, a disillusioned pastor and former Army chaplain who left the military to escape the ghosts of the past, must contend with his lost faith when a soldier he once counseled takes his life. With Christmas only weeks away, he prays for guidance and a renewal of his beliefs. And when that prayer is answered, it comes from the most unlikely place he could imagine—in the home of the soldier who took his life, and in the company of a college lecturer on Charles Dickens named Meg Calhoun, who is determined to help him heal. Christmas is a time for new beginnings and romance, especially when two people find themselves on a collision course toward love.

1843. Merry Chapman is a young widow and crusader for the poor, especially the unfortunate children on the streets of London. And, she is a ghost. Or so people call her, and those desperate souls she aids and shelters. But her life isn’t what others may believe, for Merry has a story few would ever guess, and she has lost more than most have ever experienced. And she has a secret, a gift known only to those with whom she chooses to share it. People such as beloved writer Charles Dickens. Their secret friendship will become the inspiration for his soon-to-be classic story, A Christmas Carol, as will her place within its beloved pages as the Ghost of Christmas Past.

A dual timeline story about love and friendship, and the power of letting go, especially when clinging to the past blinds you to what is possible in the future.
