Historical fiction built on real families, real records, and real research — set across the American West and rooted in the stories history almost forgot.
The Woolsey Saga
A family saga, meticulously researched over decades, centers on Amy’s fourth great-grandfather, Richard Woolsey. Following the loss of his first wife, captured in A Mother’s Last Gift, he pursued every get-rich-quick scheme west of the Mississippi, a pursuit chronicled in His Greatest Regret. The story also explores the son he left behind, who evolved into everything his father was not, as told in Where the Compass Points.

The Beeson Family Saga
A multi-generational saga following the Beesons — a Quaker family who believed in peace and refused slavery, until a son, Edward, became a Captain in the American Revolution, and later, in a contradiction the story doesn’t shy away from, a slave owner himself. Fading Light opens the saga through the eyes of the women who held the family together. The companion novella Borrowed Light fills in more of their world after the Revolutionary War is over.
Pack Saddle Ranch
This deeply romantic family saga chronicles the lives of the three McAllister brothers—Gary, Alfred, and Jeffrey. Set against the backdrop of hardship in 1920s north Idaho, each brother finds a love that ultimately shapes and redeems him. The story begins even before their births, with their parents. Jeremiah McAllister left Scotland for a stump ranch in north Idaho, land that lumber companies sold cheaply after clear-cutting the forests, leaving only stumps to contend with before it could be farmed. He wrote across the ocean to the woman he loved, building a life he hoped would be worthy of bringing her to.
In The Rancher’s Healing, Gary’s romance with Evelyn, the nurse who tended him after a devastating injury, blossoms into a partnership that helps him reclaim hope and secure the family ranch. The Outlaw’s Second Chance follows Alfred’s turbulent romance with Florence “Flo” Everly, a soiled dove trapped in a life of abuse and control — his rescue of her ignites a love that pulls him back from self-destruction and gives her a chance at safety and dignity. The Quiet Hero’s Promise completes the trilogy of the McAlister brother with Jeffrey’s own love story, set against the hardships of the Great Depression.
Together, these interconnected romances form the heart of the series — historical romance blended with family loyalty and personal redemption, set against the rugged Idaho frontier.
Oh, did you think that was the end of this series? Not even close. Amy is currently at work on Book Four, following the McAllister boys’ larger-than-life family friend, Jesse Calloway — the foot-in-his-mouth joker readers keep asking for more of. If you fell in love with him in the earlier books, you’ll want to stay tuned. Make sure you’re signed up for the newsletter so you know the minute it’s out.
