Our Four Mothers

Our Four Mothers is my 50,000 word Young Adult Science Fiction novel, currently seeking an agent.

Until now, 16yo Cady's life has been pure and innocent, her world an idyllic utopia. She has spent her days working in the garden, cooking, and nurturing her many brothers and sisters as training for the day when she will be a wife and mother to her own large family.

Cady is so insulated from the outside world she isn't even aware that the Lushguin workers outside her village dome are human until she sees one up close being chased by a vicious animal. She makes an impulsive decision to break the sanctity of the community -- and the rules -- by letting him in. Mitchell, as it turns out, is an indentured servant, and indeed a human. She is instantly attracted to him, which is a problem because she's been taught that Lushguins are heathens and criminals, and because her father has just chosen the man she will marry.

After meeting Mitchell, Cady's idyllic life begins to unravel, and she must create new visions of her life, her future, her beliefs, and her worth as a woman.

Spinning Coins

Spinning Coins is my YA alternate-reality time travel fantasy, with a literary twist.

Polly and Joy have nothing in common, until a magic coin transports them to a rainy beach in Denmark. They can't find the coin, their cell phones don't work, and a storm is brewing. When they get to a nearby convent they realize that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, the two guys helping them, are not escapees from a Renaissance Faire. It seems Polly and Joy have traveled to an alternate reality 1526.

Polly, an atheist, is determined to be in charge of her own destiny, while Joy, an uber-sweet conservative Christian, knows that God is in control . Despite their opposing world views, the girls must work together to find a way home -- or accept that this is their new reality.
