Barely twenty-one, Wyoming McCord has already killed several men. He chalks it up to being a poor, grub-line riding cow puncher who got himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, getting himself in trouble by being caught up in other peoples business. McCord has been making his own way since his mother died, going from one grubstake to another. With nothing of his own but his horse and tack and the gun he wears low down on his right hip, McCord is heading to Arizona to get a start with a clean slate. He plans to find a job and stay put. But a stop in Santa Fe might just put a hitch in his plans. A chance encounter with a bewitching girl leaves him longing for a future rather than planning an escape. Annabelle Dixon is immediately attracted to the charming cowboy, but how can she hold with the constant presence of that big gun on his hip and all that it implies? And what chance does McCord have of winning the heart of a girl who believes him capable of murder?

Andrew flees England for the colonies in search of a new life amid the wild untamed beauty of Americas frontier, vowing to forget Jane forever. Through the years marriage brings contentment to Jane and with it a daughter, Megan, whose beauty is shadowed only by that of her mother. But, alas, misfortune befalls forcing the family to make their own pilgrimage across the ocean and the untamed wilderness. And there to safeguard and guide them on their journey is none other than Andrew Brannock now a legend among the Indian Nation and his son Christian, a darkly handsome borderman, half Indian himself. They have been warned of the perils awaiting them in the vast, unknown wilderness, and Megans dark beauty does not go unnoticed by Christian, as well as the renegade whites that make their living stealing and selling white women into slavery.

The Miniature

By: Wayne M. Hoy

From the moment Jonathan Whitman first glimpsed the portrait of the beautiful Catherine Rowland, painted in miniature and set within a golden locket, he was hopelessly in love. And when he stumbled across the young woman's brother, Phillip, lying bleeding and left for dead in the sodden English countryside, he had no idea the dramatic change his life would undergo. Jonathan, a tailor's apprentice, and Molly Hoskins, the tailor's daughter, hide Phillip until he is strong enough to travel to the coast and set sail with his family to their home in Boston. Once again Jonathan saves Phillip's life, only to find his too is in grave danger and he is forced to join the Rowlands on their voyage to Boston with the promise of a new life in the American Colonies. But life in the Americas is fraught with its own perils as Jonathan and the Rowlands are faced with the threat of the untamed wilderness and swept up into the fight for freedom from England's tyrannical rule. Determined to prove his worth, Jonathan accompanies a party of surveyors only to fall victim to ambush by a vicious outlaw and his band of renegade Indians. Unbeknownst to all Jonathan escapes with his life, and smarting from his perceived betrayal he decides to remain with the Indians he comes to love. He is no longer a boy, but a changed man who emerges some time later, respected in his own right and walking among the Indians as one of their own. Until the hated outlaw once again brings tragedy to his life and Jonathan vows to avenge the man who, for the second time, took from him all that he once held dear. Then Jonathan learns that Catherine has been taken captive by the very man he swore to kill, and her fate now rests in his hands. But Catherine would rather die than be rescued by the wild and rugged Indian, until she discovers a small bag tied around his neck, concealing an exquisite golden locket, a gift to a boy she once loved, and now home to the beautiful miniature cradled inside.

The Long Way Home

By: Wayne M. Hoy

The First World War is coming to a close, and American army captain Ernest Mathews awakens in a London hospital with a face he doesnt know, a name he cannot remember and a past wiped clean as a slate. His sole possession is a photograph of a dark-haired beauty whose unknown face is the only thing capable of bringing a sense of comfort and peace to the black void that now inhabits his mind. When given direction to his fathers ranch in Arizona, Mathews has little choice but to travel back to America to find a man he doesnt know with the hope of discovering his memory and identity at journeys end.

An Occasion Of Valor

By: Wayne M. Hoy

It’s 1854 and war rages between Britian and their French allies against Russia in Crimea, Turkey. Many of Britain’s sons have already been shipped to the front lines and more join them daily in the trenches. Lady Lillian Hansford is quite disappointed that the dashing British Captain she’s just met and has nevertheless formed an immediate attachment to, has been sent to fight against the Russians. Jaded and dejected, Lady Lillian searches the newspapers daily for news of the war and, in particular, her Captain. In so doing she discovers the terrible conditions of the wounded and dying soldiers in Crimea. She also learns that Miss Florence Nightingale is gathering her own group of nurses with plans to travel to the Crimea to help treat the wounded and improve their conditions. Although initially motivated by a sense of Christian charity, she nonetheless, see an opportunity to be with her Captain. She convinces Miss Nightingale to take her with her as her personal assistant. Lillian works tirelessly to ease the suffering of the wounded but in the chaos of war, is unable to find her Captain. She does encounter one of his lieutenants, James Wright, whom she resents and mistrusts, convinced he is trying to keep her from her Captain. Lieutenant James Wright was raised by a poor Irish family and groomed from the start for a military career. He never questioned his commission when he found himself fighting against the Russians in the Crimea. He does question, however, his frequent and puzzling dreams about a woman who he felt he knew to be his mother but who was not the woman who raised him. Were these dreams or childhood memories resurfacing? Lillian begins to question her own convictions as well. For some reason nothing is as it seems concerning her Captain. And she finally comes to the conclusion that what she really desires is just one worthy gentleman of noble character and firm convictions who would be a hero rather than acting the part for personal advantage.

Bringing Forward...

A Reappropriation of Faith

By: Deacon Wayne M. Hoy

Experience is revelatory. Authentic human experiences are illuminating and transforming. God is constantly revealing himself to us in everyday experiences. It is essential for us to take the time to reflect upon and get in touch with those experiences, for that is the essence of faith. In the beginning the followers of Jesus were not concerned with telling about him. They wanted to tell the story of their experiences of him. My main purpose in writing this book is simple. I wanted to tell my own journey of faith, which began as a rather fundamental acceptance of God and Church. But as I left home to join the military and eventually attending college, that fundamental viewpoint became less and less defensible. I realized I was no longer content with the way we have been telling the Christian Story, especially relating to the “Kingdom” that Jesus speaks of so frequently in the gospels. His understanding of Kingdom is actually central to his whole preaching. (More than eighty percent of all recorded sayings of Jesus underscore this reality.) Which brings me to my second purpose, and that is to underscore Jesus’ understanding of Kingdom. I have attempted throughout my ministry to express that insight through my homilies and teaching, frequently by the use of story. I firmly believe that “Truth wrapped in story” is irresistible.

Where Eagles Dare

By: Wayne M. Hoy

Lady Efrona Drake dreaded the upcoming house party hosted by her parents. Her fathers announcement that Lord Blakely Hansford, the marquess of Sudeley, would be in attendance caused a feeling of fear and loathing to curl in her stomach. Efrona realized her time had finally run out and her parents plans to end her six-year betrothal to the insufferable future Duke of Warwick would soon result in an unwanted and miserable marriage. Oh, Lord Blake was handsome enough, gorgeous even, but Efrona detested his pompous strutting and arrogant womanizing and total disregard for anything beyond his many mistresses and absolute life of leisure. But the young man standing so still and composed in her fathers study was not at all the marquess she remembered, and rather than inviting those familiar feelings of disdain and disgust, Efrona felt her heart race and senses tingle when in his presence. What could have wrought such a change in the man? Was he merely toying with her and concealing his true nature with some twisted agenda in mind? Plagued with the constant and uncanny sensation of danger, the marquess of Sudeley fought his growing attraction for the Lady Efrona. What had he gotten himself into? He was an impostor, and he was playing with fire. But after a second attempt on his life, the marquess realizes he must do all he can to keep Efrona safe even if it means exposure and with it, the sure knowledge that he will never be able to call her his own.

The Lady and ‘The Eagle’

Eagles Series Book Two

By: Wayne M. Hoy

Blake Hansford, second son of the Duke of Warwick is widely known as one of London’s notoriously popular rakes. Unbeknownst to the family, however, save the duke himself, his son Blake—code name Eagle—is actually a secret agent for the Home Office, and a liaison with the Bow Street Runners. When a family friend is found to have committed suicide, the Duke is suspicious and enlists Blake’s help in investigating what transpired. Blake quickly recognizes there are too many inconsistencies surrounding his manner of death and concludes the suicide was staged to cover up something far more sinister. Emily Johnston, still reeling from the shock and despair of her father’s suicide, is convinced he must have left some type of farewell letter to her with a reason for his bewildering actions. She decides it must be hidden in his desk in the secret compartment they frequently used when she was a child to share lighthearted confidences. When Emily slips back into the house to search for what she hopes is a message from her father, she is stunned to find the desk has vanished and she is not the only one with an interest in its whereabouts as she interrupts Blake along with a band of thieves all intent on finding the missing fixture...and what may be inside it. Blake’s confrontation with the thugs convinces him that he is dealing with someone prepared to destroy anybody standing in his way and knows he must do whatever he can to keep Emily safe from harm. But how does an apparent happy-go-lucky womanizer justify his actions while executing an investigation into an obvious murder without revealing his true purpose? Blake has no other choice but to enlist Emily’s help. Together they search for answers only to find themselves scrambling one step behind a cunning individual clearly willing to do anything, even kill, to keep his secret hidden.
