DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Blurb: Photographer Prairie Donahue wants a Toronto address, career success and a good man to share it with. Her eye for photography is better than her eye for men, however. Evan Lund needs a woman in his life. The problem is making time as he builds his ad agency. Kieran Dawes has known Prairie since grade school, but he has a secret that could destroy any chance at happiness. Denis Sease has nothing to hide, except, maybe, that he’s afraid of dogs – the one thing Prairie’s convinced makes life complete. What will it take for Prairie to make her mark in Toronto’s art scene and find the right man to share it with?

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The past versus the future. Professor and sometimes-journalist Claire Agnew expects that debate in towns where wind farms come to call. Snowbound in a castle in Scotland, however, the contrast becomes starkly real. Standing on the battlements of the ancient Castle Glenhoolie, at the end of a fjord that has seen Viking raids and English garrisons, her commitment to progress is shaken as she imagines the historic landscape lined with the wind turbines she usually finds so sleek and sexy. Turbines aren’t the only attraction of Castle Glenhoolie, however. Broad-shouldered, long-legged Alec Kincaid is equally intriguing as he shares his local knowledge and insights into local wind farm politics. To Alec, Claire is refreshingly open, delighted in the village of Dunlorrie and the ancient buildings he disdains… until he realizes why she is asking so many questions. Feeling betrayed, he examines his feelings and his knowledge of Claire against his personal history. She, in turn, must come to grips with the demands the past make upon the present, as she considers the future of Castle Glenhoolie and her own future amidst The Winds of Glenhoolie.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The hills of Scotland don’t compare to the high peaks of the Karakorum or Himalayas for, but mountain climber Hannah Fitzhugh has had her fill of them. After losing a climbing partner near the top of K2, the world’s most savage peak, she craves stability. But first, she will spend one last season on the rocks, teaching classes of secretaries and accountants to scamper up sheer cliffs. Scottish textile merchant Andrew McKinnon is certainly stable, with a thousand years of family centered at Castle Glenhoolie. Having stability, he craves success and, maybe, a hint of adventure to build a life well-lived. The attraction between Hannah and Drew is obvious, but in seeking stability, is Hannah repeating the mistakes of her past? And will their budding relationship be placed in jeopardy with the reappearance of the lively Lady Alexandra Chisholm-Browne and the revelations of what really happened on K2?

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The supernatural world doesn’t confine itself to the days around All Hallows Eve, when the portals between worlds are open. Sometimes the spirits slip through and choose to linger. Sometimes they have never left. Ghosts are not a topic of easy conversation, as the heroine in “Light and Shadows,” the first story in my short story anthology, “What Dreams May Come,” learns too well. And yet…the spirits will have their way. That cloying scent of magnolia where there should be none, a cat running berserk late at night, an image that watches us as we hover between sleep and wakefulness…Is it real or merely our imaginations? What can we do about it? And, from a ghost’s perspective, why would we want to do anything? Bodyguard Victor Sun, the ghost in the second story, “The Guardian,” has never heard the words “Mission accomplished.” After his sudden death, he soldiers on, orchestrating the lives and loves of succeeding generations of the Li family, whom he swore to protect. But, can flesh and blood stand up to a ghost? Can reality stand up to dreams? The title story, “What Dreams May Come,” begins with a recurring dream of ancient lovers that is sufficiently worrisome that Kate agrees to past life regression therapy. Is her financé Henry really the ancient warrior Hinto? If they are one and the same, is that a reason to end the engagement or for wedding bells to ring?
