USA Today best-selling author Dani Haviland, a Mayflower and Mormon pioneer descendant, recently semi-retired from selling tractor parts, tools, and roses in Alaska, relocating to a more temperate climate in western Oregon to pursue her passions: writing, gardening, and photography.Life has changed from jumping into a skidsteer loader to plow snow to pull-starting the walk behind weed whacker, but there are still enough hours in the day for the feisty old lady to propagate people for her novels and plants for her yard. Sharing is part of her personality, so creating books and photos to share all over the world makes her happy.Her tenacious and perky attitude is reflected in many of her cyber children, whether they be a British lord stuck in 18th century North Carolina or a 6'7" time traveling 'fairy' who is out to champion anyone who is having a rough time dealing with difficult life situations. The first book in THE FAIRIES SAGA series is NAKED IN THE WINTER WIND. This story reveals how 21st century Evie fell back in time, rejuvenated, met fictional characters who were real, and dealt with kidnappers, a cougar, and near starvation.

How will his new lady love handle the unexpected surprises of modern life and the 20 pound surprise who greets them?POOL BOY WANTED: NO EXPERIENCE PREFERRED (novella - Also included in SUMMER HEAT boxed set) The first book in the new series BENJI, THE LOST YEARS gives readers an insight into the rough early years our tall red haired time traveler.

He would learn to do what she wanted, or he'd disappear like all the others.LITTLE DRUMMER BOY (historical novella, part of LOVE, CHRISTMAS boxed set) Young Scout is set on earning money as a scout with the reserve army in the newly organized United States of America, but his hopes are dashed by an ornery sergeant.
