The Lady and the Laird
When Lilith Monroe returns to Glen Carin, her childhood home in the Highlands to arrange a marriage with Laird Edan Cameron the fun begins! Er…the drama starts. For what could be better than an arranged marriage between old friends?
Nothing, the lady believes! Anything, thinks the Laird!
Not a thing, according to Lily Munro. Lily returns to Glen Carin, her childhood home in the Highlands of Scotland, determined to arrange a marriage with Laird Edan Cameron for herself. She’s learned Edan is seeking an arranged marriage. Perfect! So is she.
Although a willowy beauty, Lily is fast approaching spinsterhood. Marriage to Edan will enable the strong-willed redhead to save her younger sister Charlotte from a dangerous situation. If Lily is married to Edan, he would have no choice but to offer his protection to Charlotte. Besides, Lily’s rather adored Edan since she was young and a wee bit wild. What could possibly be better?
Anything! The laird, taken by surprise, believes nothing could be worse. He would not wish Lilith, the shameless lass who ceaselessly tormented him when they were children, on any man. The rugged laird is focused on restoring his clan’s land, regaining his self-respect and fighting off the Brodies, a ruthless clan of neighboring farmers. He wishes to wed a strong, plain Highland woman. Finding their way to each other and to a forever love involves imaginative Scottish fairies and very real Scot stubbornness on the part of Edan and Lilith.
Lilith Munro is torn between rescuing the two people she loves most in the world, and knowing she can save only one.

Reuben Kincaid Remembered
A Memoir by Reuben on Wry was a collaborative effort by my late husband Dave Madden and me. A non-fiction glimpse of one man’s life. Even though I was married to the man I had to make a deep dive into a ton of research…things I didn’t know that happened between the time we dated at the University of Miami and the time we married in 1998. The research took me to the internet, to numerous books and articles on Dave and all the television shows he acted in as a regular. Way more than just The Partridge Family! Dave wanted this book for his children, to know him and remember him. From standup comic to TV icon Reuben Kincaid meet the man who gave the greatest gift of all, the gift of laughter.
In the words of TV critic David Bianculli …"Madden emerged as some sort of mini-icon for the X-generation, like some bell-bottomed Barney Fife."
