Of Godlike Men

Book Cover

Of Godlike Men


Griffin Quade, burdened with uncommon abilities, was cast out as a boy. Now, nineteen years later he returns to claim his inheritance: the family's tobacco plantation in 1905 Sabina, Florida. As he navigates the challenges of managing the land and its workers, Griffin finds himself entangled in a web of jealousy, deceit, and theft—all while grappling with unforeseen emotions for the girl next door.

Bithia Sibbings, drawn to Griffin's mysterious allure, faces her own turmoil. Her parents, mired in financial despair, see her as nothing more than a pawn to salvage their fortunes. Sent away to New York, Bithia is forced to contemplate the unimaginable, severing her ties with Griffin and her aspirations.

Georgeanne Quade, Griffin's mother has been secluded on the plantation for most of her life, numbed by laudanum and deemed unstable by her kin. With Griffin's return, she yearns to mend their fractured relationship, sharing with him harrowing tales of past cruelties endured by their ancestors.

Ariss, an enigmatic presence on the plantation, harbors a deep love for Georgeanne and vows to protect her at all costs. Tasked by Georgeanne to befriend Griffin, Ariss's intentions are met with hostility. Spurned, he resolves to teach Griffin a harsh lesson in gratitude and loyalty.

A Time for Courage

 Time for Courage Book Cover


A Time for Courage


A Time for Courage is a captivating story of the lives of four soldiers struggling with their own personal convictions and human frailty at a time when the country is engaged in a great Civil War. 

In this book, you’ll meet the idealistic Private Madison Jefferson Payne, an eighteen-year-old black Union soldier who pens an inspiring letter that urges black men to join the Union army and fight for their freedom. 

You’ll ride with the dastardly Captain Daniel Barlow on secret missions behind enemy lines. You’ll have a front-row seat into his complex heart as he espouses the belief that black soldiers are inferior, and you’ll witness his secret that will be known only by you. 

You’ll sit with Lieutenant John Davenport, a former college professor who has found his lifelong passion in education, as he wrestles with internal conflict over accepting orders to start a school for black soldiers, a decision he knows is unpopular with many white officers or continue to fight in a war that only brings inevitable death and destruction to humanity. 

You’ll journey with Major James Hightower, a Confederate cavalryman, as he toils with leaving his terminally ill wife and young son to rendezvous with the legendary General Nathan Bedford Forrest and fight for a losing cause and a senseless war that could no longer be won. 

Destiny will bring these soldiers to a small, insignificant place called Fort Pillow near Memphis, Tennessee. On April 12, 1864, they will fight a little-known battle in which honor and survival hang in the balance, and the only thing that can tip the scale is their courage.

The Wife, the Mistress, and the Girlfriend


Detective Simone Jackson didn't want an average life. Marriage, children, family... Not in the cards for her. She spends her time prowling the crime-ridden streets, chasing down suspects, and putting killers behind bars.

But she's never worked a case like this. When a crime lord's daughter is brutally assaulted, it sets off a wave of bloodshed that ripples through the city's underworld. As the bodies pile up, Jackson's investigation reveals a link to a drug kingpin she put behind bars years ago.

Someone has taken over his criminal empire. And Detective Jackson has narrowed it down to three suspects. The wife, the mistress, and the girlfriend. One of them is behind the blood feud raging through the city.

And unless Jackson can figure out which one in time, the city may never recover.
