As the daughter of a fortune-telling mother and a scam artist father, Spring Ryan wants nothing more than to leave her carnival roots behind her, fall in love, and live the normal life she’s always dreamed of.  But things aren’t working out exactly as planned.

For starters, the love of Spring’s life, Trevor Donnelly, has disappeared without a phone call, an email, or even a message in her Twitter feed.
To make matters worse, her mother, an eccentric nudist, moves in ‘just until she’s done with menopause.’  And finally, Spring’s boss has decreed that she must escort a life-sized condom around town to promote teen abstinence in the community.  So much for normal.

Heartbroken and resigned, Spring agrees to marry Sam Wayne, a balding banker with an appreciation for God, books, and a well-mashed potato. He may not be her Prince Charming, but at least he can give her the stability she thinks she needs.  But as her nuptials to Sam draw nearer, an intriguing stranger enters the picture who soon has Spring questioning everything she thought she wanted.  In the end, Spring must decide if she should stay the course or trust in The Universe and take a second shot at love.

Hetta Coffey is a sassy Texan with a snazzy yacht, and she's not afraid to use it!

A globe-trotting engineer with attitude, a penchant for trouble, and a yacht, Hetta is back, and this time she's steering us into hot Mexican waters.
Miffed that vacation plans with her chronically absent boyfriend, Jenks Jenkins, have gone awry, she accepts a job in Baja.

So what, if she and her friend Jan are spectacularly unqualified to take her yacht on a thousand-mile cruise in the eastern Pacific Ocean during hurricane season?

Hiring a handsome, if somewhat fishy captain for the trip might keep them off the rocks, but probably won't do the same for her future with Jenks. Meanwhile, a little eye candy on board can't be all bad.

Hetta's fierce independence impels her to tackle a very profitable (if environmentally and politically incorrect) project south of the border. True to form, her irreverent nature and disregard for danger soon swamps her in a sea of mayhem, illegal aliens, a pesky whale, and a menacing Mexican machinator.

Set sail for Baja Mexico's Magdalena Bay as Hetta Coffey leads us once more into a morass of intrigue that will keep you laughing, breathless, and wanting more.

Will she find the grit to pursue a career she really wants or the nerve to stand up to her bullying family? And will she get gutsy enough to go after Jack?

“She always said she’d find a way to let me know that death wasn’t the end …”

When Ivy Everton, a children’s book illustrator, moves to Cornwall to start a new life with her husband Stuart, she’s given her mother’s old writing desk, a bittersweet token from a mother who made childhood magical.

When she clears it, she finds that the desk holds an unexpected surprise; one she wishes, in a way, that she hadn’t found, as hidden inside is a blank, faded postcard addressed to her, in her mother’s hand. At first, the postcard serves only to haunt her; as she can’t help but wonder what unwritten secret lies unsaid.

Yet, as the days pass mysterious things begin to happen, odd items go missing from her studio, only to reappear, ethereally transformed in the seemingly empty desk.

Soon Ivy realises that the postcard was never really blank, it was simply waiting … waiting for her to find it.

Part ghost story, part romantic Christmas tale, The Postcard is about finding hope, even in the darkest times, and about the kind of love that transcends time and space to heal.
