Echoes In Secrecy

When Elise discovers a hidden journal among her late mother’s belongings, she’s drawn into a legacy of espionage that spans generations. After her daughter Mattie is injured under suspicious circumstances in Scotland, Elise follows a trail of cryptic clues through the Highlands, wartime Berlin, and finally the jungles of Peru. Along the way, she uncovers the secret lives of her mother and grandfather—both spies in two world wars—and begins to understand the cost of silence, the weight of legacy, and the fragile strength of family. A literary thriller filled with emotional depth, Echoes in Secrecy explores how the past shapes us—and how we might break free from its grip.

Battle River Prairie

Young British doctor Mary Percy arrives in Northern Alberta in 1929, expecting a short-term posting in the wilds of Canada. Instead, she finds a life waiting to be claimed—rugged, raw, and quietly extraordinary. Battling isolation, bitter winters, and limited resources, Mary becomes a lifeline to the settlers of the Peace River region. As she gains their trust and earns her place, she also discovers the depths of her own courage and the possibility of love. Based on historical events, Battle River Prairie is a deeply human story of resilience, transformation, and the healing power of purpose in a forgotten corner of the world.

Echoes Across the Snow

In the vast stillness of Northern Alberta in 1925, trapper Sheridan Lawrence lives a solitary life until four armed fugitives cross the U.S. border into his wilderness. When they threaten the land he calls home, Sheridan uses the quiet skills he’s honed over years—tracking, patience, and resolve—to hunt them one by one. But this is more than a manhunt; it’s a reckoning with his past, his isolation, and the violent truths buried deep in the snow. A spare, atmospheric tale of survival and justice, Echoes Across the Snow captures the harsh beauty of the Canadian North and the quiet fire of a man pushed too far.

Lyrical, intimate, and haunting, Where Tides & Time Meet is a literary journey through the unseen currents that bind us to place, to memory, and to one another.
