Andromache's Story - What Really Happened in Troy is a twist on the classic Greek tale you won't want to miss.
"Andromache gives us the scoop on the popular myth of the beautiful Helen of Troy, told from the perspective of intelligent, sassy, Andromache, a star-crossed daughter of the embattled city that sacrificed everything for Helen's honor (including their own pride).
This fresh retelling of the age-old story is smart, wry, action-packed, and fun--a page-turner from the start. "
-- Melanie Raskin, Winner of the 2020 Carolina Prize for Writing

Book 2 - Unexpected Impact
An Indie BRAG Medallion Award Winner!
Just as Sophia chooses her career over her long-distance relationship, she’s laid off from her job at Personna magazine. When she manages to land what appears to be a glitzy public relations assignment, challenges arise with the colorful CEO. Danger lurks when she gets too close to the truth behind the profits. Will her courage take her too far this time?
What the reviewers say:
"Unexpected Impact is more polished than the Essence, but retains all of the fun. This story focuses on Sophia, one of the key characters from the first book, and does a good job of mixing adventure, mystery, and romance. The book ends in a way that allows for many possible options for a third book in the series. I'm waiting to see what comes next!" Amazon reader
"I was looking forward to Nancy MacCreery's next book release after reading The Essence. Unexpected Impact was another great read. Sophia is a very likable character and her experiences in this book are true to life and to the corporate world. The plot was good with a good mix of mystery and romance." Smash words reader

Book 4 - Out of the Shadows : Coming Home
If he can rescue his long-lost daughter, General Nicolai Hewzenko thinks he’ll have everything he’s wanted. But for someone used to giving orders, relating to a twelve-year-old that has been brainwashed to fear him is a challenge. The psychologist he hires intrigues him, but she also has a dark past. Then troubles arise, and both his life’s work and the safety of his family is threatened. Can they help each other find happiness?
Available in the Amazon Kindle Store -- order your copy today! If you have Kindle Unlimited, you can read it for free.
What the reviewers say:
The characters in the series are people I wish I knew in real life. They feel like friends. I like the subtle social consciousness and political content; it’s not ‘in your face’ commentary, but it’s there if you are paying attention. I love the mix of adventure (that isn’t too outlandish), romance (not too predictable or too perfect), and humor. I also like how there is always a scene someplace in the book that explains where the book title came from. Cleverly done! -- Leslie L
"Out of the Shadows: Coming Home" is a Great Read with a compelling story and deftly drawn characters. This is the perfect book to sit down with and savor. -- Susan D
