Sutherland (Baker)

What happens when a smart, practical, modern woman begins to doubt herself because something unexplainable has occurred? Tory Roof is her story – an account of love and adventure that challenges Sarah Sutherland's marriage and pits logic against longing. In trying to sell a vintage home, Sarah encounters Terrence, a fiery Revolutionary War agitator who is posing as a Loyalist. Drawn to him physically and emotionally, she slips into her former self, becoming a resister, writer, and soon-to-be mother. Parallel plots unfold in the course of year, interweaving Sarah's contemporary life with true events that took place in 1765. Struggling to reconcile her two realities, and compelled to complete a mission in the past, she turns to a psychiatrist for help but gradually learns that the people around her are not as they seem. As a result, she discovers that her life is in danger in both realms -- and is determined to save herself twice.

Silver Line is a romantic tale in the truest sense of the word, combining an American legend, time travel adventure, and a modern mystery. Jared Sutherland knew nothing of the diary that lay hidden in a quiet corner of Colorado, nor did he know he had a former life. Son of the main character in Tory Roof, he had repressed his extrasensory skills until he meets Alexa St. Clair at an East Coast college. There they discover they can revert to their former, 10-year-older selves - a rugged miner and a beautiful dance hall girl living in an, 1860s Colorado town. Lured by the adventure and heat of romance, they continue to return, facing the rigors of frontier life: gunfights, claim jumping, and an epidemic. As a journalism student, Jared is also, consumed by the unsolved Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist, which, for 30 years, remains on ongoing investigation. Determined to locate the stolen art for an article he is writing, Jared and Alexa encounter a stalker, shady art dealers, and a homeless man who knows a lot. With too many coincidences to ignore, they ultimately realize that clues to the present lie in the past.

For men in mid-life crisis, women in dull jobs, or anyone seeking adventure, Absent takes you on a wild ride. Carter Sutherland, a former high school science teacher, is now a think tank executive living near D.C. His world is precise and analytical; his demeanor, reserved. Because he is partially color-blind, his black-and-white perspective is both literal and physical-until he meets client Tracee Green-a synesthete who sees words as colors. When she offers to take him on 4 sensory-rich, cerebral journeys to improve his perception and emotional intelligence, he readily agrees. With the power of suggestion and questionable beverages, Tracee Green guides Carter to pivotal eras in time where he assumes the personas of his alter-egos: Arturo, Arthur, Kar, and RT. With each journey (both sensual and gut-wrenching), he learns about himself and the world around him-insights he applies to a camouflage project at work. There's no denying that Carter is attracted to his vision guide, who delights in teasing him with innuendos and blurred reality. And there's no uncertainty, that his wife, Sarah, isn't thrilled with him visiting Tracee at the Green Light Foundation. The plot turns when Carter starts to suspect the Green Light Foundation is a front for something else. With the help of his son, an investigative reporter, a subplot is revealed.
