My book FORBIDDEN LOVE, is due to come out in February. I did an enormous amount of research before writing the book. Much of the time I was shocked about what a I read. The book takes place in Germany between the years 1936-1946 under the Nazis. The story is a love story between a Luftwaffe pilot and a Jew. To continue seeing one another, was punishment by imprisonment for him and death for her. It created an impossible situation for both, but their love persisted. The question is whether or not they would survive let alone their love. As I did my research I was constantly remeinded of our current times and the people suffering under the same intolerance and hate.

My book, Hand Prints on the Wall, is out and available on Amazon. It has received to 5 star reviews. If you like a fast paced mystery with some sweet romance, I hope you'll take a look at the book.

Miss Royal's Mules by Irene Bennett Brown is a book about a feisty young woman, Jocelyn Belle Royal, who defies the behavior expected of a young woman in 1900 Kansas to earn back her farm lost to the bank. She faces danger, assault, and trouble from suspicious neighbors after she joins a mule drive and is stranded at an abandoned ranch by the mule drive boss. As she becomes more enmeshed with mules, outlaws, women's suffrage and feeling for a young cowhand, she wonders if she'll ever realize her dream.

If you like western history and a good adventure, you'll like Miss Royal's Mules.
