Listen to Your Heart
      So many people post about hating nuns, but my personal experience was a positive one. Hence, my historical fiction novel, LISTEN TO YOUR HEART, is a tribute to all nuns who emigrated to America in the mid-to-late 1800s - an eventful and exciting time in America. Sacrifices were made, rewards plentiful, and at one time a sought after calling for these early feminists, who were inspired by integrity and determination - and filled with vision as their accomplishments demonstrate - a significant contribution to USA history. Read to learn more. http://tinyurl.com/rosakerker

FATAL FUNDS
      FATAL FUNDS - A gripping & educational financial thriller. Ch. 17, Ethics, Deceit and the FBI. "Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do and what is right to do." Quote from judge Potter Stewart. Financial planners must act on what is right to do. The villain in Fatal Funds smudges this boundary.
