Long Ago and Far, Far Away
Where do you put
your life when it has gotten out of control? Delia has been
handling things for so long she no longer recognizes who she is.
But then along comes Duska, who gives Delia permission to be
herself, to explore her horizons and try her wings.
Will she be able to
soar? Or will she stagger, mired in indecision, stymied by the
clamor that usurps her life? Long Ago and Far, Far Away is
where the other side of Delia lies.

Under All Is The Land
Like a can of
mixed nuts, the realtor sisters, the family clan of agents is full
of eccentric personalities, nearly incestuous in its overlapping of
players, all stories stemming from the land. Who is it that owns
the land? Nobody. The land was there before all else, and will be
there after all else. Ownership ceases when the caretaker dies.
Why are agents dying? Their job is to implement transference of
title, not get caught up in family squabbles. And yet, they are
dying.
READ EXCERPT
The State of the Estate
Buried in an
ancient Indian graveyard is a secret so bizarre, so impossible to
believe that it takes sixty years to become exposed. Compounding
that secret is another, that sends the entire real estate population
of a north Georgia community scurrying in endless directions to find
a killer preying on agents. Incensed by the mindlessness of the
murders, Maria Sebastian pursues every lead to delve into property
ownership, certain
that somehow the brutality is tied to the land.
Meanwhile, she fights her own dragons, seeking the confidence she
portrays but has never felt.
