The Origins of Oriane

2020

Oriane’s current existence as one of the ‘undead’ has forced her to discover ways to reinvent herself. Love, acceptance, and happiness have eluded her. She receives an opportunity to travel to the New World, marry, and hopefully live a satisfying life, void of accusations and loneliness. Her awaiting husband is more monster than she. He orders her to live for a period with an Indian tribe. After a series of catastrophic events, it is Yaholo, a man of the tribe who accepts her and perceives her as exceptional, not an abomination. But she is married. And her husband returns for her. As she struggles with her growing feelings for Yaholo and the abuse from her husband, relationships between the French and the Indians are deteriorating. Preparations for war are underway. But sometimes life presents one with challenges appearing insurmountable, yet it serves as a true testament to one’s true character and perseverance. An honest heart and true conviction can be rewarded. Even when all else seems lost, dreams can come true.

Desire's Choice

2020

My name is Irenne and I was sent to the new world by King Louis IV to become a wife to one of the many single military men already here. It was a horrible trip and we were forced to stay below decks so that when we arrived, we were all pale and sickly looking. The men thought we looked like vampires as we disembarked and made our way to the convent that would be our home until we found husbands. That’s how the legends started about us. Little did they know how true some of those tales would become.

Authors

I also write under the name, Sheridan Knight. So, look for other reads from me there. I grew up an Army brat, so my childhood involved moving every three years. However, truly a southern gal, I currently split my time in Alabama and Florida with my husband, two Chihuahuas, two Golden Retrievers, a mean cat, and a turtle. I have two sons, who live on their own, a daughter in college, and a stepson and stepdaughter. Romance novels have always been my first reading choice. I'm a hopeless romantic, and that trait materializes in every aspect of my life. “Wearing your heart on your sleeve” has been a common phrase repeatedly heard throughout my life. Writing romance and happily ever afters comes naturally. Whether a result of my childhood, or not, I love to travel. Warm weather and beautiful beaches are always my choice destination.

I'm the mother of two beautiful grown daughters, BamMaw (grandma) to two handsome young grandsons and one beautiful new granddaughter. I'm happily married to my best friend, who I work with building our own line of live edge furniture. I will read just about anything but favorites are romance, science fiction, and horror. I started writing when I was young after the passing of my mom. It was and still is a great way to escape to other places, real and imaginary. I write all genre's (including the naughty ones). I love to make jewelry and remake dolls into fantasy creations, and dressing up to play at Ren Faires.
