Kate’s Family Chronicles–Coming Fall 2024

Offstage: Prequel Novel (October 2024)

Want to get a glimpse of Sister Kate’s senior year of high school? The original novel, intended to be a YA novel set in a more real-world setting, is coming soon so you can read more about Kate’s life before she was Sister Kate!

Like most prequels, this novel may be more fun to read AFTER Deconstructing Kate and Scandal, so you get a taste of the characters in more contemporary times before you take your time travel back to meet teenaged Kate, Veronica, Ken, Paul, Eleanor, Ben, and Joe.

Deconstructing Kate: Book One (September 2024)

Will they make it through the end of the school year?

Scandal: Book Two (October 2024)

Sister Kate is settling into her new life as she decides whether or not to marry her high school boyfriend. Meanwhile, Maggie Hanlan, a colleague from Mill Grove, has decided to become principal of her ex-fiancee’s dying parish and, wouldn’t you know it, Kate knew him in high school? Can Maggie save St. Isidore, or will she and Father Jake pick up their relationship right where they left off?

Second Chances: Book Three (Coming November 2024)

Kate’s machinations have finally landed Nick and Bernie together in the same parish twenty years after Nick fired Bernie to get her out of his life. Can she forgive him? Will he make the same mistakes all over again?

Pilgrimage: Book Four (Scheduled Release: December 2024)

Winter 2025

Father: Book Five (Scheduled Release: February 2025)

Father Matt Marduke didn’t expect to be a parish priest, much less head an eclectic family at Marduke Manor. No one (except Father Evan) could expect a global pandemic, either, forcing Father Matt to rethink what it means to be a parish priest and family patriarch during a difficult time.
