Come Follow The Path With Best Selling Passion's Vision

Passion’s Vision is the first book in my Passion’s series. James Fitz-Gerald is an agent for King George II. He is sent on a mission to Chota Town, a major settlement of the Cherokee, to locate and terminate a French agent creating unrest between the natives of the area and the settlers. This book is a story of love. James learns a great deal about honor and bravery when he becomes a warrior and blood brother to the tribes Most Beloved Warrior. He learns even more when he falls in love with New Moon, a warrior in her own right.

Introduction to Passion's Vision and James Fitz-Gerald

When I decided to try my hand at writing, I did what every other aspiring author does…I looked back at my family history for a story to tell. To my disappointment, there was nothing very exciting in my family line. I haven’t given up on my family. I’m sure there is a story there somewhere. But…when I turned my attention to my husband’s family…WOW…I found a character on whom I just could not turn my back. This man inspired the entire Passion’s series.

Again, like any aspiring author, I read everything I could find on this ancestor of my husband’s. I read, took notes on the palm of my hand, the back of my hand, on my wrist, grocery store tabloids, gum wrappers, tiny notepads, anything I could get my hands on. I even carried a tiny recorder. I just had to do this because there is no timetable or appropriate location for inspiration. It just happens. During my more organized moments, I created a file to keep track of any historical events pertinent to my story. I created a basic outline containing interesting, exciting, death-defying and romantic escapades of my hero that I was sure would thrill my readers. The whole experience of writing is glorious in a way only an author can understand.

This ancestor is James Adair who wrote, as I understand, the first book outlining the lives of several Native American tribes. At the time I was researching this book, Adair's History of American's Indians, was difficult to find but I did locate an old copy. I used his book as one of my sources for research on the time as well as research on the man himself. I must admit, much of my own romantic imagination went into creating James Fitz-Gerald. Passion's Vision is a totally fictional story about the love that grew between an agent of King George II and a warrior woman of the Cherokee tribe. Thanks to Adair's book I feel I was able to bring to life a time in history that was filled with adversity, pain, adventure as well as pride, justice and a love for community and nature that sometimes feels lost in the world today.

I will bring you more interesting tidbits on Passion's Vision and the character James Fitz-Gerald so be sure to visit again. Passion's Vision can be found at Amazon in paperback as well as kindle download. It is also available at most digital retailers online. If you don't have a kindle you can download the app. by clicking on the Kindle app. add to your left on this page.

Cowboy Kisses: EVER PLAY COWBOYS AND INDIANS?

Cowboy Kisses: EVER PLAY COWBOYS AND INDIANS?: By Mary A. Adair, Guest Thanks to the authors of Cowboy Kisses for sharing their fun blog. Thanks also to Peggy L. Henderson, who let me ...

Hope Montoya knows someone is poisoning her, but who? She suspects her mother was also poisoned and knows her father was murdered. Who wants her family eliminated? She vows to fight! She realizes she won’t last the eight months until she turns twenty-five and her uncle no longer controls her or her estate. Never will she be dominated by a man as she was by her father, as she has seen her mother and grandmothers dominated. If she marries, she gains control now, but only if she weds a man she can trust. Only one man meets her requirements. Can she trust him to protect her and capture the killer...but then to leave?

Micah Stone has been in love with Hope since the first time he saw her. But he was accused of her father’s murder and surely would have hung if not for his two brothers’ aid. Most in the community still believe him guilty. But the drought has him too worried about water for his dying cattle to care about his neighbors’ opinions. When Hope proposes a paper marriage in exchange for land on the Brazos River and much needed cash, her offer rubs his pride raw. His name may be Stone, but he’s not made of it. He can’t refuse her for long, and so their adventure begins. He and Hope have to stay alive and discover the killer before they become victims in the deadly assaults.

Most Unsuitable Wife

Wanted: one completely improper bride.

Even if Drake Kincaid had placed such an advertisement in every paper in the country, he couldn’t have found a better candidate than Pearl Parker...which is fine with him. After all, his parents’ will stipulates only that he marry by his thirtieth birthday, not that he marry well. And no one--including Drake’s grandfather, the man determined to hold him to the ridiculous provision--could possibly think tall, bossy Pearl with her ragtag siblings and questionable “cousin” Belle will make a good wife. Until Drake realizes that in her startling violet eyes he sees a beautiful woman with a generous soul...

Their life together may not have started with hearts and flowers, but Drake and Pearl will soon learn that real love--with a breathtaking dose of passion--will make their marriage a true romance.

DIGGING FOR DEATH

Garden center manager Heather Cameron is DIGGING FOR DEATH to prove her old family friend, mentor, and employee, Walter Sims, is innocent of murdering the meanest man in town. Heather can’t trust the police to find the real killer when all clues point to poor Walter. The dead man was beaten to death with Walter’s shovel several hours after they were overheard arguing, and the two men had a long history of enmity. Walter definitely looks guilty, but Heather is sure—well, almost positive—okay, she certainly hopes her friend and mentor is innocent.
Heather is compelled to scour the fictional North Central Texas town of Gamble Grove to exonerate her old friend. She’s encouraged when the new police detective in town, Kurt Steele, shows interest in helping her look for clues.
The deeper Heather digs into the dead man’s life, the more she justifies his ruthless reputation. Walter is indicted, but police begin to suspect the victim’s stepson as murderer. Heather is convinced the stepson couldn’t have murdered anyone either—although it’s clear no love was lost between the two men. The attempted murder of the victim’s real son creates a new twist. Can Heather solve the murder without becoming the killer’s next victim?

Passion's Vision

Professional Reviews Passion's Vision Reviews(at)Sime-Gen 5 Stars Reviewers Choice A man and a woman separated by language and culture is the theme of many great love stories. Well, you can add another to the list. Sweeping, panoramic and steeped in historical detail, Passion's Vision stays close to the story at its heart, the growth of love and respect between a man and woman separated by language, customs and those who would seek to destroy them both--as they fight to deny the increasing admiration each has for the other while facing all odds to help the other survive.

Passion's Price

A vision sends Dawn to England to protect her childhood friend, Raven Cloud. Will she be strong enough to stand between Raven and the danger threatening him? Can she convince her beloved Raven their paths are destined to be joined forever when he denies his own passion to keep her safe?
