The antique ivory locket was the key! Exquisite and enchanting, it drew Aimee like a magnet. Though the locket cost every spare penny she had, it was money well spent – or so she thought! Catapulted back to the year 1847, Aimee finds herself alone in St. Louis, Missouri, the jumping off site for the Oregon Trail. The much touted slogan “Go West Young Man” takes on new meaning. Seattle, her home in the present, was a distant dream, and unless she found a suitable male willing to marry, Aimee would be left behind when the emigrant train departed, bound for the Oregon Territory.
Jake Marshall, scout for the Markham Party, was the perfect, if unwilling choice. Undaunted by his overt rudeness, Aimee entices Jake to the alter, promising her diamond earrings as payment for a marriage of convenience. Properly wed, she thereby secures passage on the wagon train, and embarks on a chain of events that would ultimately culminate in the far reaches of the great American West.
About me: Currently residing in Idaho with my husband, Jack, and my children and extended family, Jared, Travis, Zachary, April and Tannis, two huge cats and a toy poodle. I am an avid reader, a sometime gardener and an inept crafter. For many years, I performed as well as taught and choreographed beledi dance. I love to travel, always returning to my beautiful Idaho. "Fiona" was my first novel. "Riley's Journey" is my second novel and it is available in e-book form right now and print in October. I am currently working on my third manuscript.

Who I'd like to meet: "FIONA" AVAILABLE NOW IN E-BOOK AND PRINT FROM THE WILD ROSE PRESS www.thewildrosepress.com!!! Also available from Amazon.com, Borders, Barnes & Noble and Fictionwise. For more info: www.plparker.com
Love survives the ravages of time. Set against the backdrop of the Taklamakan Desert, Fiona, a beautiful, modern young woman of Celtic heritage, finds herself transported to ancient China, to a time of barbarian warriors, marauding nomads from the northern steppes, and at what was then a crossroad between East and West. Fiona finds a new way of life in the arms of the handsome warrior, Kellach, a man of noble stature and a leader among the Celtic settlements ringing the great desert.
Desperate to return to the present and struggling against her mounting feelings, Fiona finally accepts her fate, exulting in the rapture and delights of Kellach’s love, only to have Voadicia, a beautiful seductress, destroy that dream of happiness. Kellach’s soul searches the mists of time, yearning to be reunited with his one true mate – Fiona.

RILEY'S JOURNEY - AVAILABLE NOW IN E-BOOK FORM, IN PRINT OCTOBER 24, FROM THE WILD ROSE PRESS. The research project was only supposed to be for an “extended period.” No one said anything about forever! So Riley’s journey begins. Unknowingly sent back 40,000 years to be the mate of a man she had never before met, Riley struggles to understand and adjust. Her journey will take her into a world fraught with dangers - a world made more treacherous by savage beasts, primitive Neanderthals, and the incursion of the aggressive Cro-Magnon man.
Surviving alone for five years in this vast wilderness, Nathan, along with his enormous dog, Demon, carve out a life in the perilous environment. Though thrown together by forces beyond their control, love grows between Riley and Nathan – but will they survive?
