Sometimes, when you say the worst possible thing at the worst possible time, the consequences grab hold of you, shake you senseless, and make you doubt everything, even yourself…

Silas Warren knows what this is like. As a private soldier in the Continental Army, he has just secured a temporary stay of execution for a spy who has been found amongst their ranks. Desperate to save this man whom he has befriended, he argues that the spy could be used to assassinate a powerful enemy commander. Silas finds himself with the daunting task of convincing his general that the plan could win the American Revolution, which has ground on for six long and bloody years. 
But no one could know of his own motives for wanting the British commander dead; no one could suspect that he has a score to settle with this man from his past.

Balancing the horror of war with friendship and courage, Where Loyalties Lie is an 80,000 word novel, the story of a young man’s journey to find himself and hold true to his beliefs against the tumultuous war for the birth of a new nation.

A lively, yet dark and polemic retelling of the American Revolution through the unapologetic eyes of women and soldiers in the British Army, a two-time finalist in the Faulkner/Wisdom Literary Contest for the Novel and Novel-In-Progress categories. Something very different on a familiar subject. 1776 - America in Riots. Civil War. Crush it. And when finished, give the damn Americans what they want. So comes the great army, and with it, his Majesty's personal host, the Brigade of Guards, to fight a war they cannot lose. They bring their women. Obedience Gill, the "handsomest Woman on the Ration", loses her soldier husband on the crossing to America. Good riddance. "Obedience", her father named her, a child of the Great Awakening and "an Age" at 24. In truth, she's running, having lived many lives. And now, in the midst of a fierce army, she's alone. God, to be alone, even in this alien country. This strange America. This roiling, boiling America. But someone's after her, a Coldstream grenadier, Thomas Elliot, with a murderous past. In her past. To her protection comes guileless man-child, Geordie MacEachran, Third Guardsman, whose loyalty is to the Guards above all else . . . Until Obedience. And he's struck, as sure as a Rebel ball to the heart. In New York, Obedience, a tavern singer with an extraordinary voice, is noticed by the officer class, and by talent, luck, and wiles, experiences a meteoric rise, to her fame, to her peril. Geordie seeks to hold her. Elliot wants her life. But Obedience has other plans as the American rebellion fulminates into a global conflict to threaten Britain's very existence. War, sex, and power. Enlightenment and religion. Racism and sexism. Military tribes.

It's spring, 1987, late in the Cold War, and CIA clandestine operations agent Tracie Tanner is tasked with what should be a relatively simple mission: deliver a secret communique from Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev to U.S. President Ronald Reagan. After smuggling the document out of East Germany, Tracie believes she is in the clear. She's wrong. A shadowy cabal is work, people who will stop at nothing to prevent the explosive information contained in the letter from reaching the White House. Soon, Tanner is knee-deep in airplane crashes and murder, paired up with a young Maine air traffic controller and on the run for their lives, unsure who she can trust at CIA, but committed to completing her mission, no matter the cost...
