The Nate Champion Duology, "Nate, The Texas Story," and "Nate, The Wyoming Story"
As a western historian, I am honored to bring the story of a little known hero to light.
Nate Champion might be the most heroic figure of America’s Old West . . . and yet one of popular history’s best-kept secrets. Now he finally gets his due in my historical novel duology.
Nate's humble beginnings in Texas prepare him for a life with horses and cattle. Though a well-known horse trainer in his own t Read more of this blog post »

Susan's review
of
Zenith Man: Death, Love, and Redemption in a Georgia Courtroom:
"I found this book very engaging and I enjoyed the read.
It also shows how some people are just different (autism spectrum in this case,) and how they are judged because of their differences. Many of these people end up in jail and being found guilty " Read more of this review » |

“In those days a man could pick up, head out West, and start a new life . . . choose any name he wanted. But the man who made his mark in the history books is probably one who stayed true to who he was . . . no matter what he called himself.”

“That fence has gotta 'lectric charge runnin' through it!" Duffy whispered. "Felt like I got struck by lightnin' right b'tween my shoulder blades! It crackled like when the barber turns on his trimmer."
Ott had had his suspicions about the electric fence, but there had been only one way to know for sure. That's why some people were generals and others were sergeants, after all.”

“Back at the oak the men lounged in the shade and finished up their meal. Watching Clayt down at the creek, Nestor threw out a quiet question for anyone who would listen.
“How come Clayt don’t wear no spurs?”
“Don’t need ’em,” Lou said. “You seen him ride. He can purty much control a horse with just his knees and neck-reinin’.”
Nestor lay back and propped on both elbows. Lifting a leg, he turned one boot in profile and spun the rowel with the toe of his other boot.
“Hell, I like the way it sounds when I walk.”
Lou stood and brushed off his trousers. “He don’t need that neither.”

“In the dark pre-dawn quiet he lay facing the window by his bed and stared at the stars hanging in the western sky. They floated over the land like the dust of jewels strewn across black water. These stars had become the milestones that marked his coming passage, and he gazed at them this one last time for the sake of preserving a memory, he supposed. One last view through the windowglass of his youth.”
