Songbirds are Free
Published by Drake Valley Press, October 2007

Inspired by the true story of Mary Neely, who was captured by Shawnee warriors in 1780 near Fort Nashborough (now Nashville, TN). This book details her capture and her two years in captivity, her eventual escape in Northern Michigan, and her journey home alone over hundreds of miles of war-torn country and through hostile Indian Territory. It is the story of a young woman who was renamed "Songbird" for her beautiful voice, but who never gave up hope of escape, never knowing how close she was to both death and freedom.

The China Conspiracy
Published by Drake Valley Press, May 2003.

Kit Olsen has fallen into a routine as a 17-year veteran programmer/ analyst for the CIA, wife to an increasingly absent husband, and mother to 16-year-old Tim. Then two of her fellow programmers are abducted and murdered, and her son is kidnapped. The ransom: a program written in Mandarin that was covertly intercepted by the CIA.

Now in an effort to ransom her son, she is swept into a dark underworld filled with crosses and double-crosses, where no one can be trusted and nothing is as it seems. Kit knows the answer lies in breaking the Mandarin code, which leads to a political bonfire that she never could have imagined.
