Read an Excerpt...

Full of romance and suspense, The Moon Child’s Promise  revolves around the quest of the heroine, Maggie O'Toole Loveless, to find the real love promised to her by the Mayan moon goddess, IxChel, years earlier on her wedding night with the philandering husband who's now left her for a graduate student. Maggie's journey to mutual and satisfying love with handsome, half-Mayan Jaime Diaz in Mexico involves American and Mayan characters from the 1920s and today and contemporary and ancient Mayan spiritual traditions at the magnificent ruins of Chichen Itza in the Yucatan Penninsula. The Moon Child’s Promise explores spiritual connections between a contemporary American woman and the great Mayan goddess of the moon, IxChel.

In Mexico, Maggie is plunged into a dangerous conflict with a corrupt customs officer and an unexpected passion with Jaime Diaz, the retired Federale officer who is her guide. As Maggie visits the haunted ruins of Chichen Itza, she receives visitations not only from a ghostly relative but past priestesses of the Mayan Moon Goddess. Battling false accusations, threats, and violence in an exotic foreign culture, Maggie struggles to fulfill her quest and to learn what real love is.
