The Irishman’s Christmas Gamble (Novella)

Red Car Press

Available formats: Kindle, print

“This story will melt your heart like a warm hug from an old friend! I’ve been waiting for Frankie’s story, and it was more passionate and emotional than I was expecting from the tough-as-nails businesswoman. I felt her pain, her grief, and her elation as she worked through the ghosts of her past with the man she’d always loved. Liam was as endearing as could be, and came to life through his Irish words and phrases.”

–LitLairLadyKerry, Lorelei’s Lit Lair

"The Place I Belong is a mesmerizing story, agonizing at times, bliss-filled at others and always a heartrending exploration of love.

Herkness has an exquisite savvy when it comes to writing romance, and she's sure to rule your keeper shelf."

A Down-Home Country Christmas (Whisper Horse novella)

Red Car Press

Available formats: Digital, print

“Elegantly written, taking you deep into the emotions of the hero and heroine, this is a sweet but wonderfully sensuous story of second chances. The twist—the animal that brings the two together, no matter how hard each finds a reason to smother the sparks that continue to ignite. Add in two caring children, a grumpy old farmer, and a town of helpful neighbors, it all comes together in a magical moment. This is a true Christmas story—showing the heart of the holidays of giving, forgiving, and finding the true meaning of believing.”

--D. Noone, Amazon reviewer
