New to my books? Begin with West of Forgotten.

The opening novel of The Federal Series — sweeping, tender, and the perfect introduction to the world I write in. From there, every series leads naturally to the next.

The Books

Four series. One frontier.

Each series stands on its own — but together they trace a single, hard-won truth: redemption is always possible for those willing to ride toward it.
