"That Girl From the Dummy Line" is a first person account of growing up in severe poverty in the delta farm region of northeastern Arkansas in 50s and 60s in a tar-papered shack built on a dirt road known as the dummy line. The dummy line girl was the third of ten children born to an illiterate farmer and his wife, who didn't understand their daughter's love of education or her desire to go to college as she excelled in school. Indeed, they actively attempted to prevent her from leaving home to seek a college degree. The dummy line girl spent much of her childhood working in the cotton fields. Farm work and other chores took a toll on the dummy line girl's ability to stay on track with her studies and goals. Further complicating her life was a dysfunctional relationship with her parents and an abusive older sister. The local public school system became her refuge and provided her with the hope she needed in order to plan a better future for herself. This is a story about a girl who refused to accept the path given her by accident of birth - a girl who wanted more and believed she deserved more and was willing to work for it.

Dylan and Siannon Ellesmere are the rulers of Macnylleth, the most remote province in Llanfyllin. They are awakened during a blizzard by an approaching fleet of Norsemen. As they prepare to meet the invaders, they become separated. Siannon must take command of the people of Macnylleth, while Dylan escapes by sea with a few brave companions. As they journey throughout their frozen homeland, they find the Norse at every turn, and their only hope is to travel to the capital city of Llanfyllin. While they fight to survive, they ask why these fierce warriors from the North risked everything to invade their small nation in the dead of winter. That question leads to an ancient secret from the founding of the kingdom, and their only salvation lies in a desperate journey to Siannon’s home nation of Ireland to find a magical savior even more dangerous than the Norse themselves.

When Dylan Ellesmere reluctantly returns to his father’s castle for the annual knight’s tournament, a mysterious woman from across the sea inspires him to risk everything to win the tournament as well as her heart. Dylan would like nothing more than to stay home in Macnylleth, his stony castle on the edge of the western sea. But family obligations demand he take part in the tournament that is the highlight of the Festival of Weylin. This year’s tournament, however, features an unprecedented participant—Siannon O’Riordan, a fast and ferocious lady knight clad in black armor, the first woman ever allowed to take part. Those who dismiss her chances are soon amazed by her skill and speed. So is Dylan, but he’s also enchanted by her beauty, her mind and her determination. Can the course of true love endure an inevitable confrontation in the tournament arena?
