Mary's Little Lamb 175 pages - softcover - 6 x 9 A lunatic has escaped from an asylum, one who had never been allowed to attend the public school of a mountain village in the Washington Cascades. The teacher of the school has disappeared—just vanished without a trace. Two retired university professors have been killed at their doorstep by an ax murderer—and their daughter, Mary, has been hired to replace the missing teacher. The town minister has psychic visions that she will be killed, too, and to save her the school must remain closed. Although she will never admit it, Mary has nightmares that tell her the same thing. She is as determined to teach as the minister is as determined she not do it and the school remain closed.  Nakoa's Woman 352 pages - softcover - 5.5x8.5 In Nakoa's Woman, Gayle Rogers has skillfully created a novel that is both a stirring exploration of the world of the American Indian and an epic love story. It is the tale of a beautiful white girl, Maria, captured by the Blackfoot Indian warrior, Nakoa, and of their stormy relationship as she struggles against her growing love for her captor, and he struggles against the customs of his people to keep her. Years before she had appeared to him in a vision and he now cannot force himself to renounce her in the flesh. It is also the story of two others in the Indian community whose desire to keep Maria and Nakoa apart is so intense that they are willing even to murder to succeed. And it is the tale of a gentle, shy Indian girl, Anatsa, secretly in love with a handsome young brave, and ignored by him until Maria helps their love into being. A large cast of vivid characters surrounds the young lovers as they work out their fates. In a clash of will and cultures, Maria rejects the role of second wife and seeks escape through the Blackfoot burial grounds, unleashing a chain of events which will threaten all concerned.

John Keats fell deeply in love with Frances Brawne. He died before he could consummate their love or even grow into his own poetry. In the now of today, a young girl is held captive by her murderous and awry uncle, in his own isolated castle of death right out of Keats' poem, THE EVE OF ST. AGNES. To survive her uncle's madness and sadism, she talks herself into believing that she is Frances Brawne in another reincarnation and that John Keats will live again to rescue her as his hero rescued Madeline in his famous love poem to her. She will know him the instant he appears, her poet, her husband to be, her lover for all eternity. History comes alive on the pages of the books written by Gayle Rogers. She has the rare ability to combine meticulously researched historical accuracy with contemporary spiritual and moral values. Some say that the many lives of an individual soul are like a string of pearls stretching across eternity; we can see only the current one, yet the energy from one life is carried into another. Ms. Rogers draws on personal psychic experiences to create characters of unsurpassed depth and stories with the complexity of reality. |
