The Night Remembers

1997

Angela Prescott has pulled up stakes and moved halfway across the country, seeking refuge from a man who has made her life a nightmare. Starting over in an unfamiliar city, she's wary and keeps to herself, until she meets twelve-year-old Tommy T. Street-smart Tommy T knows how to keep secrets. He's told no one of the mysterious recluse living in an underground hideaway, whose face he's never seen. A gifted comic book artist with no place to live, Tommy T needs someone to believe in, and in this phantom stranger he finds the comic book superhero of his dreams. Jesse Brown Wolf's past has driven him underground in many ways. By day, he is a handsome repairman who fixes the plumbing in Angela's rooms. By night he lives in the shadows, acting with reckless bravery to make the streets safer for kids...and whispering into Angela's sleeping ear promises of comfort, security, and heart's ease. The Night Remembers is about finding heroes in unexpected places - in a neighborhood school, in a rundown apartment house, even in a dark hole of a riverbank. It is a novel about redemption: about a courageous woman who reaches out to make new connections; an irrepressible boy at risk who finds a family; a good man tormented by grief and guilt whose fragmented self is made whole through a woman's care.

Night Falls Like Silk

2001

A connoisseur of exquisite objects, wealthy, beautiful, and aloof Cassandra Westbrook collects whatever catches her eye. While attending an auction, she is captivated by a set of Native American ledger drawings—and by the mysterious stranger who is bidding against her. This is not the last time her path will cross with Thomas Warrior, a man who raised himself up from the inner city mean streets to become famous beyond his imagining. Their lives intersect again when he agrees to mentor her nephew—and the attraction between Thomas and Cassandra becomes impossible for them to resist. But Thomas' artistic talent is a gift that haunts his darkest hours, and his creations seem to take on a life of their own, threatening everything he holds dear. And when both the drawings and her nephew suddenly disappear, Cassandra must turn to Thomas for answers. But is her enigmatic lover a hero ... or a trickster out to do her mortal harm?
