Candle in the Wind
Summary
The year is 1863. After two years of battles, the Civil War has evolved into a bloody slaughter with scarcely a town or home on both sides untouched by the tragic loss of its young men. President Abraham Lincoln has just announced the first order of "Draft" in the history of the American Republic.
After Jeptha enlists, Fiona Dawes finds herself working their farm with her five-year-old daughter, Bridget, on a thin spit of sandy peninsula stretching out into the Atlantic from the rocky coast of Massachusetts.
Like so many women of her time, she struggles to keep the farm running. When her husband is reported missing - presumed dead, Fiona knows in her heart he is still alive. She decides to take her daughter and leave the farm to look for her beloved husband, but something sinister is brewing. Someone means to not only take their land, but see them dead...
From Massachusetts to New York to Gettysburg and through the war-torn South, Fiona searches for her husband, making friends and enemies along the way.
Fans of history, mystery, and romance are certain to enjoy Candle in the Wind.

Echoes Down a Dark Well
Summary
Have you ever wondered if you've lived before? Imagine then if you could remember every moment of every life you have lived for the past 2000 years! That is the continuing fate and curse of a soldier of fortune named Cody. Not only is he cursed to recall each life, but he knows that each succeeding one will end the same - in violence, tragedy, and death. He has only one slim ray of hope that keeps him clinging to sanity - The Girl. She, like him, is on a never ending cycle of rebirth. The only difference is that she has the power to heal his tortured soul and give him peace. But first he must find her. And that's not easy because just like him in each incarnation she is born into a different family of a different race or culture, and the only way that Cody can recognize her is by her eyes. The eyes are the windows to the soul and her ageless soul always shines through. So Cody continues his quest, but this time he has company - and a problem, in the form of a cute, sassy but tough, and cynical little blond by the name of Clarisse. Unfortunately she is not "the girl". But somehow they wind up as traveling companions on the run from mob vengeance. As they crisscross the country from coast to coast, Cody finds himself in possession of a strange wooden box that kings, tyrants and even churchmen have been willing to kill for down through the ages. The good news is that the mysterious box might be his path to salvation. The bad news is that if it falls into the wrong hands the entire world could suffer an eternity of misery, terror, and death.

The Girl with the Faraway Eyes
Summary
This is the story of a woman who some claim is a myth, someone who never existed at all—a character made up from a composite of representative metaphysical personalities prevalent in occult groups at the turn of the last century.
And yet...there are others, many others, perhaps millions who have seen her face on hundreds of UFO and paranormal websites and TV shows. They have gazed at images of the enigmatic woman called Maria and are convinced she is real and her story is real too.
Real or myth, her story is compelling and as strange and incredible as the times in which she is purported to have lived. A time when events, inconceivable and unbelievable in our own rights, happened while deluded self-proclaimed messiahs and dictators plunged the world into a conflagration of war that could have ultimately destroyed all life on this planet.
Perhaps that’s why we have always felt, in our desire for answers, compelled to explore the edges of the impossible, and in doing so bur and redefine the eternally wavering line between myth and reality. For the purpose of this fascination story, that’s exactly what has been done.
