Inexplicably thrown back in time while on a trip to Egypt, Elissa McLaughlin finds herself in the intrigue-packed court of Ancient Egypt's woman pharaoh Hatshepsut. At first mistaken for a woman of pleasure, Elissa is taken by a handsome, sensuous general named Amunnakht who notices her uncanny resemblance to the pharaoh's endangered daughter. A perilous impersonation ensues while Elissa and the general find themselves falling in love as they become more and more embroiled in the political intrigues and power struggles of Hatshepsut, Senenmut and Thutmosis III. As the country dissolves into war around her, distinctly modern-minded Elissa not only must stay alive, she must make a heart-rending decision between returning alone to her own time or staying in the land of the pharaohs with the passionate, complex man she has come to love.

The Other Half of Your Heart
Red Rose Publishing

Trying to get away into the night, Cara is not sure who the good guy is or who is the bad one. Will she find out before it is too late?

Cara Waters thinks she's the luckiest woman in the world. Hunky ex-football player Buck Tarrant has swept her off her feet. After promising her a trip to New Orleans, he suddenly took her to Mexico instead. While there Cara is disturbed to see fellow coworker Dave Burkhart following them. Back home Dave has been stalking her there. Cara is terrified when Dave abducts her and bewildered when he accuses her of being a criminal. She is protesting her innocence when both of them are found by real criminals – a dope grower with a private army. Cara and Dave barely escape as they run for their lives through the forbidding, dangerous Mexican jungle. Perhaps more dangerous is that they have to do, trust each other and forge an uneasy bond until they can return to civilization.

As they flee Cara realizes nothing is as it seems. She must fight for her life without really knowing why.
Who is her enemy? Who will help her or even believe her?

The Land of Heart's Delight
Swimming Kangaroo Books

This is a book very special to Janis Susan’s heart. Between 1940 and 1944 her mother Aletha was a County Home Demonstration Agent in Brooks County in South Texas. Raised in the lush rolling farm country of Northeast Texas, Aletha found the dry, sandy ranch country to be alien and strange. Like her daughter, Aletha possessed a talent for incident and Janis Susan grew up on the tales of her mother’s adventures. After her mother’s death Janis Susan found among her papers a fragmentary manuscript and a sheaf of notes for a book; she took these and wrote THE LAND OF HEART’S DELIGHT, a wry, touching and revealing glimpse into a time and a way of life that are no more.
