Angel Books
Angelic Intervention
When I wrote my first Shirley, Goodness & Mercy book back in the early 1990s, little did I know how popular my irrepressible angels would become with readers. They’ve made a number of earthly visits over the years, answering prayer requests under the guidance of Gabriel and getting into their share of mischief. I hope you enjoy them, and the other angel book I’ve written, as much as I do.

Where Angels Go
MIRA Hardcover

Christmas is a time for angels.

Shirley, Goodness and Mercy are back! These three irresistible angels love their assignments on Earth. They especially love helping people who send prayer requests to Heaven (even though the Archangel Gabriel, their boss, knows they're going to break the rules)!

This Christmas, Mercy is assigned to bring peace of mind to an elderly man . . . who discovers an unexpected answer to his prayer.

Goodness is sent to oversee the love life of a woman afraid to risk commitment a second time.

And Shirley has the task of granting a little boy's fondest Christmas wish.

Shirley, Goodness and Mercy go wherever they're needed. These three charming angels often find themselves in trouble, but somehow things always work out for the best—especially at Christmas.

Shirley, Goodness and Mercy
 MIRA Hardcover -  1999

Alone at Christmas. Greg Bennett feels his life has been a waste. Sixty years old and he has no one to spend Christmas with, no one who cares.

Greg knows he's made mistakes, hurt people, failed in all the ways that matter. As a young man, he fathered a child he never acknowledged. He deserted a friend in his hour of need. He abandoned his own brother, whom he hasn't seen in years. Listlessly wandering the streets of San Francisco, Greg finds himself in a church--and whispers a simple heartfelt prayer. A prayer that wends its way to the Archangel Gabriel, who assigns his favorite angels--Shirley, Goodness and Mercy--to Greg Bennett's case. Because Gabriel knows full well that Greg's going to need the assistance of all three!

Shirley, Goodness and Mercy are determined to create a miracle for Greg. In their usual inimitable way, they set about to show him what life, joy and Christmas are all about.
