My latest release came out on Friday. It's available for Kindle and in paperback from Amazon and also included in Kindle Unlimited.


What wouldn’t you do for love?
No damsel in distress, 20 year old Rylee James hides in plain sight of the enemy, hoping to rescue her brother - a Confederate soldier captured by Union forces. Disguised as a man, she's counting on her skills as a doctor to see her through while she risks it all to save the only family she has left.
But even the best laid plans can go awry when love is at stake, and all too soon she is faced with the reality that life's choices aren't always easy. Love of family, love of country, or love of a good man - agonizing decisions to be made when she finds that setting her brother free has left her a prisoner of the heart.
A historical romance set in the midst of the American Civil War, In Plain Sight intrigues right from the start, taking you on a wild and perilous ride through the war-torn Virginia countryside. An emotional journey of courage, daring and love, that keeps you enthralled right to the very end.

Can Charlotte find the happiness that always seems under threat, and will Harry return home to her?

A dying planet on the verge of collapse…. tormented pasts that haunt the present… an ancient hidden magick…
The C.D.F.P. mega-corporation rules all, with unchecked power, and dark secrets...
The planet is dying, and they are the last hope to save it…
Mack, an ex-soldier of the C.D.F.P. military division, and his mercenaries, standalone against the C.D.F.P. (AKA the Company), in the fight for humanities survival. Left unchallenged, the company has ruled over the East Green Continent with an iron fist for decades.
The pollution they’ve caused has devastated the planet, destroying the ozone, and killing off plant and animal life. Outside of domed cities the air is thin, and the sun scorches all; it’s a veritable wasteland. In the past two decades the planet has reached entirely new levels of decay. Extreme weather patterns, and massive quakes, ravage the land.
Time is running out…
Mack and his mercenary troupe set out on a quest to stop the C.D.F.P. once and for all, and the planet will test them to their limits… But are they ready for the horrors they’ll uncover? Can they alone stand up against the all-powerful C.D.F.P.?

Lugos had given his word when the world was still young, before he’d endured the wrenching pain of her soul being torn from his. Lifetime after lifetime she’d returned when he’d needed her most, when the apathy of his kind had eaten away at his resolve and his heartfelt vow seemed pointless. One would think he’d be able to protect a single mortal, after all, he was a god. But two long centuries had passed since he’d held her, since he’d been whole. Now, she was back and Lugos had a decision to make; claim the only woman he’d ever loved, or deny his soul’s deepest craving and grant Keely a chance at a peaceful life without the dangers that populated his world. For five years, Lugos had chosen the latter with the hope that the fates might overlook them this time. That was still his plan when the goddess Rhiannon called seeking his help. Lugos should have known better.

I'm also just releasing the final book to the Darkly Series. Resurrected Darkly will also be live on Kindle May 1st.
It didn’t matter that Uncle Hueil was now the unseelie king, or that the rest of her family had benefited from her uncle's rise to power. Ena seemed destined to remain separate, an outcast among the fey at court. She had a temper and was sharp-tongued thanks to her mother’s dragon blood. She'd never be a sweet and submissive mate for the nobles who sought to tie their houses to the powerful House of Caw. So when the matchmaking goddess Blodeuwedd appeared, Ena was suspicious. But because denying the gods was tricky, and the errand appeared simple, Ena agreed. After all, she had a dragon's cold heart. Not even Blodeuwedd's silly binding vows could warm it.
Crank had once been a warrior of legend, but that was before the goddess Arianrhod cursed him for merely entering her realm. Eventually he'd abandoned his noble name, his honor, and every oath he'd ever held dear in his quest to find and restore his king to the unseelie throne. But in the end, Arianrhod's curse had taken everything from him. Then in Annwn, Crank had murdered his king, his life-long friend. Now madness was Crank's constant companion. He longed for death, but the gods weren't done torturing him…for they'd sent him a she-fey with lavender eyes and the temper of a dragon to tempt him to live again.

In a profession where he’s one person one day and another the next, will anyone know who he really is?

Sometimes it’s not.
When they have to choose between heaven and hell.
Some like it hot.

Fans of Louis L’ Amour will love this Western which may also remind them of Robert B. Parker or Elmore Leonard, with a touch of Cormac McCarthy for good measure.

Blurb:
After four long years of college Tyler is excited to move on to the next part of his life. The part where there’s no more studying, no more essays to write, and most importantly more time to spend with his girlfriend Nicole. Unfortunately she has different plans for her future, none of which include Tyler. He’s angry, hurt, and blindsided when all of her stuff is moved out of their apartment the day after graduation. All he’s left with is a note saying it’s over.
In a span of less than twenty four hours Tyler’s world takes a complete one hundred eighty degree turn from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows. To top it off Nicole’s best friend is moving in as his new roommate.
Tyler’s heart is hurting, and one of the ways he finds helpful to mask his pain is making decisions he never would’ve even considered. What starts as one decision has led him down an unexpected path of questionable and manipulative life choices.
It will take a lot of soul searching, and a lot of support from his friends, to bring back the old Tyler.

Hello Everyone,
I've been reading romance novels for over thirty years. I became tired of reading about couples who are close to my own children's ages, lol. I decided to write my own stories about real-life couples in their late thirties and into their forties.

Hi Everyone!
If you are like me, past the age of 35, and looking for a steamy romance book with mature characters, then pick up my newest two releases available on Kindle Unlimited.
I've been reading romance novels for many years, and I've noticed most romance books written featuring an H/h past the age of 35 and 40 are few and far between. I'm hoping to change the perception of what people think about maturing.
I have friends in their forties getting married for the first time and having babies and a whole other group of friends who are going out and starting exciting new careers, and making new lives.
I have to admit, I'm confused by the lack of mature storylines available to readers. It's the year 2019, and I believe the romance genre should represent what being in your forties is really all about in this day and age.
I hope you read and enjoy it. Please be kind. I'm a new writer working on a budget:)
Thanks!

I released my debut book this year. It is technically a romantic suspense/thriller not a romance (there's no HEA) but fans of the romance genre will like the hot characters and delicious undercurrent of sexual tension. Check it out here, and see if it tickles your fancy:Strategic Entanglements
Warning: It's gritty. There is some violence, and bad language. But the characters are so worth it! The female lead is strong and feisty but imperfect. The male lead is a dreamboat alpha male.

Does true love exist? Are soul mates a myth? For anyone going through a breakup or divorce, it is easy to give up on the idea you are even loveable, let alone that there is someone out there who will treasure you as you are.
In her page-turning debut, Francine Putkowski, with honesty, compassion, and grit, takes you on her personal journey through broken marriages, on the way to the truth of self-love and meeting and marrying her forever partner and husband, Wade. With abundant openness, she discusses her mistakes, fears, isolation, and loneliness, stemming from a life of poor relationship choices. She shares the joys and challenges of a blended family and transitioning children to their new normal. Francine relives her darkest trials and recent triumphs, on her journey to a harmonious and happy life, full of love.
After almost a half-century of failing at trying to love and be loved, Francine finally chose right. She finally discovered what to look for in herself and her spouse. She also discovered what helped her restore her broken heart, which she thought had been irreparably damaged. She also shares her relationship red flags, and she provides hope through what steps she took to restore her happiness, along with sharing inspirational and spiritual quotes throughout the book.
Whether you have almost given up on true love, are going through a breakup, separation, or divorce, feel you are ready to search for a lifelong partner, or want to find the secret to true self-love and self-worth, take this journey with Francine, as love finds you.
She did not need to be saved. She needed to be found and appreciated for exactly who she was. ~J. Iron Word.

The monster that dwelt inside Deegan had always taken far more than it ever gave. So, when he was faced with yet another impossible choice, Deegan had known no other way. No other path had been open to him. But this last agonizing loss had been too much for his heart to bear, and he’d howled his pain and despair to an uncaring moon never expecting a miracle—or her.

Another coast-to-coast challenge for the Dickens Detective Agency.
When Bruno Caravaggio confesses to a murder he didn’t commit, Damien returns to Atlantic City to find the killer and clear his friend’s name. His task is complicated by Bruno’s desire to protect his mother, and her equally strong instinct to defend her son.
While Damien is away, Millie agrees to look into the claim of an eccentric Carmel-by-the-Sea resident that her children are trying to poison her. Her investigation leads her to Rancho Luna Azul, which sells its meat at several farmers markets in the area.
As she explores the connection between Rancho Luna Azul and the poisoning claim of her client, Millie becomes enmeshed in the FBI’s probe of a drug distribution ring operating out of the same premises. Risking capture - and possible death - at the hands of the drug ring, Millie bluffs her way inside and collects the evidence the FBI needs to complete its case.

Here is the description.
Janetta Orlando’s life has been bouncing along the gutter like a Brunswick bowling ball after a series of disastrous relationships. When her girl’s getaway with her best friend is abruptly cancelled, she is left with nothing to look forward to. No vacation. No wine. No men.
Bob White is headed to Rome from Pittsburgh with his girlfriend, Connie, who is fluent in Italian, to sell his invention to an Italian businessman. When she dumps him, he is left without a translator.
When Bob learns that Janetta, his hairdresser, speaks Italian, he proposes a deal: He will pay her to accompany him to Rome. At first hesitant, she agrees but soon learns that the devil is in the details as she and Bob clash over nearly everything from fashion to food.
Laughter, tears, and love flow like the Trevi Fountain as Janetta, with the help an unlikely aide, finds her true herself and her true love in Rome.
