Introducing Quarry Hall

Regular visitors to my Tabor Heights series know about Quarry Hall -- the mansion in Akron that is the home of the Arc Foundation, a philanthropic organization that supports the Mission and other worthy causes.

TODAY, January 1, I'm pleased to announce the new year brings a new series published by Desert Breeze Publishing -- Quarry Hall.

JOAN is the first book, going four years into the past before the Tabor Heights books start, and shedding some light on references to the past actions and choices of people you've met in the Tabor Heights books. Just how did Xander Finley get the support of the Arc Foundation? And how did Nikki James go from foster-child to runaway to representative of the Arc Foundation?

JOAN tells the story of Nikki's half-sister, Joan Archer, and her search for answers, healing, safety, and a place where she could not only do some good in the world, but belong.

Gritty, skirting the edge of unpleasant, this isn't a romance by any means, but Women's Fiction that asks some hard questions and explores the wounds we inflict on ourselves, which are sometimes worse than anything someone else could do to us.
