Persimmon Hollow Legacy Series

These wholesome, small-town Catholic historical romance novels are richly textured sagas of community and family life in 19th century frontier Florida.

Persimmon Hollow is a fictional town in frontier Florida. It was carved from the wilderness when the state still resembled the Wild West. The settlement is filled with people of faith, family, community and, above all, love. 

Each book focuses on a love story that develops between one or two newcomers to town, supported by a rich group of secondary characters. Each book in the series can be read as a stand-alone novel or can be read in order. 

I hope you enjoy reading the books as much as I enjoy writing them.
