About this series
Sometimes the miracles you were praying for were there all along…
Italy, 1136
Norman-born Elys de Wix fills her time with embroidery on the long pilgrimage to Rome to pray for healing of brother's injury. She never thought much of it, until their new traveling companion, Saxon master-mason Aylwin, admires her skill. While not as handsome and diverting as Sir Fulk, when Elys is dreading entering a nunnery, it is Aylwin who whispers a solution: she could make a living from her embroidery.
On her return to England, Elys finds her brother Matthew living in Waltham, a little church known for its miracles. She has always known her calling was to be a mother, not a nun, but with her dowry already paid to the nuns, Elys will need a miracle of her own to find a husband, or someone who believes in her needlework, to keep her out of the cloister walls.
With glorious historical detail of Medieval Christian life and the crafting of religious objects from stone and silk, Elys' journey to love and fulfillment will charm readers of historical romance.

- Daughter of the Sunset Isles: Waltham, #1
1
Exiled princess, mother of kings… An epic journey of enlightenment, love, and discovering divine purpose, from Medieval England through to Denmark and Russia. England, 1066 Gytha is the devout but determined daughter of the rightful king of England, until her world is turned upside down by the death of her father, King Harold. Fleeing from being forced into a nunnery, and determined to keep the spirit of her father alive by bearing sons to continue his line, Gytha seeks refuge with her uncle King Svein of Denmark. But with the King's health deteriorating, Gytha must marry. Her only offer is from a Prince living far to the east. So she prays and sets off on a perilous sea voyage into the unknown, and toward her future… Rich with historical detail and Christian themes, Daughter of the Sunset Isles is based on the true story of a young woman finding her way in the medieval world with no place for women except in a nunnery or as a silent wife — neither of which Gytha will be!
