I have a wealth of experience publishing books. I have published books through a traditional publisher, through a self publisher in print, and via ebooks in all shapes and styles. I have 229 fiction stories and 114 non-fiction books, totalling 343 works in total. This page is a master listing of all items I have published. Feel free to ask me any questions about how I did a given book or how the process went. Note that I don’t count my boxed sets in this listing – that would seem to be double-dipping :).
My books are available in two forms. The paperback version is generally done via CreateSpace, Amazon’s self-publishing branch. The ebook versions are on all major platforms (Kindle, Apple, Nook, Kobo, SmashWords, GooglePlay, etc.). In both formats the books were completely free to set up and publish. The books are listed in release order. Some of the ebooks are Amazon exclusive, to have access to their promotions, while others are available on all platofrms

Medieval Romance Novels
My medieval romance novels are written with “gentle romance.” There is no explicit language relating to intimacy nor swearing – they are suitable for teens and up. They feature women who stand strong against oppression and strive to make the world a better place. This series is my first love – it is what I grew up writing. I have 14 of these.

There are 31 books in this series; these are just the first ten.
Biblical Jerusalem Stories

Cinderella Fairy Tale
The original Grimm fairy tales portrayed women of strength and conviction. Women who took action and could forge their own destinies. Over the years they have been watered down. I seek to reclaim them in these sweetly romantic – while powerfully heroic – retellings.
Sci-Fi Short Stories
I have written three standalone sci-fi short stories. These first appeared in Mused.
Sutton Massachusetts Short Stories
I have written two standalone Sutton Massachusetts short stories. These first appeared in Mused.

Psychological Horror Short Stories
I used to say that I wrote anything but horror. I realized in time that it wasn’t healthy to define myself by what I did not do. I appreciate stories that delve into the ways individuals strive to cope with emotional trauma.
Melk Mythology
Ava was in trouble again. This time it was for pummeling Dominik, that bully, when he was harassing sweet little Pia. Why did the teacher always blame Ava for everything that went wrong? This is the first book in the new series.

Low Carb Recipes and References
I currently have 13 books in my Low Carb Reference series. About half are recipe books, while the other half contain reference material. All are based on the content on my BellaOnline Low Carb website. For historical reasons I did the print copies through Lulu.
Wine Books
I have two wine books – one on sangria recipes and one on Champagne cocktail recipes. These are in print copies BOTH on Lulu and on Amazon. This is because Lulu offers spiral binding but only if you buy the book through Lulu. So to have a print copy available on Amazon I had to have a perfect bound (normal binding) entry in there. Both are being revised with fresh covers and updated content.
Weddings & Courtships Books
These books explore the wonderful world of love, romance, and tradition in different cultures. I have three done and am finalizing a book on Native American traditions.
Relationships
I am in the process of redoing these books. They are in two sets – one for men, and one for women. There are 11 books in each set, although three of them overlap. So that is 19 books total.
