    HUNGER IN THE HEART is set in 1955 as a young boy comes to terms with the consequences World War II has had on his family.His beloved, shell-shocked, father is a decorated hero who stages continual games of war to train his son; his bigoted, alcoholic mother blames the misfortune in her marriage on the soldier whose life her husband saved; and his manipulative grandfather stirs up trouble between mother and son, until the boy must fight a personal war just to survive. When the boy's father is suspiciously shot and killed, his grandfather accuses his daughter-in-law, and a bitter estrangement between the boy and his mother is set in motion, tempered only by the family gardener and a neighbor girl with family problems of her own.This is a story, ultimately, of hope and love. How we find it and thrive in even the darkest circumstances.

    2018 INDEPENDENT PRESS AWARD WINNER in Religious FictionFIRST RUNNER-UP: Josiah W. Bancroft Award, Florida First Coast Writer's FestivalFINALIST: Pirates Alley Society Faulkner/Wisdom CompetitionFINALIST: Tuscany Prize for Catholic FictionBeginning in eighteenth century Ireland and then set against the background of a burgeoning America, The Wind That Shakes the Corn tells the story of the feistiness of Scots Irish immigrants, and the heart-held faith and courage that led their struggle toward individualism in America. Nell Dugan's hatred, but also her love and determination, spotlights the Irish, both Protestant and Catholic, who bring to Revolutionary America age-old grudges against longtime English rule.On Nell's wedding night in Ireland, English soldiers abduct her from the arms of her Scottish Lord and throw her on a ship, slave-fodder for a West Indies sugar plantation. But Nell uses her beauty and cunning to seduce the plantation owner's son who sneaks her away to pre-revolutionary Philadelphia where she agrees to marry him, keeping secret her marriage to the Scottish lord she truly loves, and swearing to pay back the English not only for her own kidnapping but also for her mother's hanging two decades earlier. A story of love, hate, revenge, and the ever-hovering choice to forgive.PRAISE: "Kaye Hinckley writes deeply textured stories with a distinctive voice.

    A New Orleans hurricane takes the life of artist Audrey Bliss's husband, swallows any trace of their four year-old son, and dramatically changes Audrey when she suffers a head wound. She's always been perceptive, but now she sees and hears the voices of missing people calling to be found. Soon, asked by local law enforcement to solve crimes in The Big Easy, she finds many missing people, including a girl from Birmingham, Alabama found murdered in New Orleans. Yet, she never finds her own son, and accepts he died in the hurricane. After inheriting a tiny island in the Tennessee River near Red Clay Springs, Alabama, Audrey attempts to discard her life as a seer and takes up residence in the old house to concentrate on her art. But when an unidentified boy is found dead on a pyre, her gift of seeing will not let go.

    2019 INDEPENDENT PRESS AWARD FOR RELIGION FICTIONSometimes deadly serious. Sometimes laugh-out-loud funny. The Ghosts of Faithful is the layered novel of a family's clash with betrayal, forgiveness, mercy--and actual ghosts.When The Ghosts of Faithful won First-Runner-up for Poets & Writers Magazine's Maureen Egen Award, it was a novel in progress. Now it is finished and will be my seventh published novel. Here's what Victor La Valle, author, Professor at Columbia, and Judge of the contest had to say about it: "Faithful suggests a broad canvas-a well-rendered local; a promising war of equals in the characters, a clear desire to address/tackle the issues larger than the back and forth, and a clear understanding on the author's part about pacing and clarity. Also, I thought the father's chapter was really funny!"Izzy Collier runs the Food Bank in a town called Faithful, on the banks of the Suwannee River, and is the least amicable of two daughters in a frustrating family; all, keeping secrets of betrayal. Her parents are at odds with both daughters, and with each other. Her sister, always Izzy's competition, is an instable former beauty queen, the wife of a philanderer, and the mother of four. Their ninety-four year-old grandmother believes her dead husband's ghost has returned, accompanied by a little girl-just as Izzy's husband, a defense lawyer, is being mysteriously forced by his boss to effect the acquittal of a teenager accused of the rape and murder of a child. Now, Izzy starts to see her deceased grandfather and the little girl, too. Are the ghosts after revenge, justice, or something greater?
