The Middlefork Series

The Middlefork Series is a home front family saga that will span four books. These historical romance novels began releasing from Ashberry Lane/WhiteFire Publishing in July 2026. I can’t wait to share them all with you.

(The first of the series, A Mess of Dreams, is now available! Find it at Amazon, WhiteFire Publishing, or wherever books are sold!)

The books are inspired by family history and are close to my heart. Set during the 1940’s and 1960’s in my actual small hometown of Potomac, Illinois, located in Middlefork Township, the first three in the series (A MESS OF DREAMS, A HOPE DETAINED, and ALL THINGS FOR GOOD) follow one woman’s journey of perseverance across three stages of life, where prejudice, polio, and disaster in Vietnam all endeavor to break her.

The fourth book in the series (WOUNDED) follows a related character on her journey to heal her own emotional wounds while joining the Navy Nurse Corps to help heal dramatic physical wounds of American soldiers injured during the Vietnam war.

This series is filled with elements such as German POWs in America, polio, prejudice, and even some somewhat controversial issues that people were forced to wrestle through in the sixties. And as in all my books, the main characters experience an impactful spiritual journey along the way. Cakewalks, unique bits of history, quirky best friends, country living, and plenty of humor partner with the deeper issues to make these books a series I hope you will love and recommend!
