Fool's Profit
New Release!
Fool’s Profit (Bear Creek Series # 3)
The Bear Creek Series is a new series from a trusted author of five other series (nineteen novels). T. E. Killian has written another adventure/suspense novel that is action packed all the way from beginning to end.
Reggie Thornton along with her younger brothers, Blake and Kirby, own a ranch in Bear Creek. In order to pay for the expansion of their herd, they have started a hunting guide service. Most of these clients/hunters want to hunt bear or mountain lion.
Chip Green moved to Bear Greek twenty years ago when his father was transferred to the ranger station there. Chip left the valley to go to the police academy and returned to Bear Creek as their deputy five years ago. Chip has always liked Reggie so much that she basically ruined him for other women. But he’s afraid to get close to her since she’d probably punch him if he tried.
Reggie is feeling lonely in her big home built for five people now that both of her younger brothers are married and living in their own homes next to hers on the ranch. Reggie wants a family too! But, who would want to marry her, a six foot, thirty-year-old tomboy? Reggie has always liked Chip so much that he basically ruined her for other men. But the fool just can’t see that she likes him.
When Chip is suddenly given custody of the nine-year-old daughter he didn’t even know he had, things really get complicated. His efficiency apartment won’t work so Reggie takes them both in at her four-bedroom house. Then Reggie starts helping Chip and Megan come together.
A Hollywood production company comes to make a movie at the Thornton ranch and at the old ghost town in the mountains above Bear Creek. Someone doesn’t want the movie people there and things start happening to drive them away, including bar fights, fires and even murder.
Chip has to win Megan over and learn how to be a father to her, while living in the same house with Reggie. Sparks will fly all the way around when these three very different people are thrown together.
Will Chip and Reggie be able to resolve the problems facing the movie production company and the Thorntons and still keep everyone safe in the process? Will there be any hope for Reggie and Chip to build a relationship?

Greed’s Reward
The Bear Creek Series is a new series from a trusted author of sixteen other novels. Now T. E. Killian has written an adventure/suspense novel that is action packed all the way from beginning to end.
Bear Creek, Arizona is generally a quiet place to live up in the mountains away from all the big city crime. This is about to change as threats are made, people are being shot at, men are murdered, and someone is staying at the old Ghost Town. Is that “someone” the killer/shooter?
Blake Thornton along with his older sister, Reggie, and younger brother, Kirby, own a ranch in Bear Creek. In order to pay for the expansion of their herd, they have started a hunting guide service. Most of these clients/hunters want to hunt bear or mountain lion.
The Thornton’s have three men coming for a bear hunt. In order to prepare for them, Blake has decided to check the trail for signs of bear. However, someone starts shooting at him. Were they trying to killing him or scare him? Why? Blake didn’t think he had anyone that angry with him.
Upon arrival in Bear Creek, the hunters start to cause problems. Blake soon realizes that they are facing even more troubles with these men. The terms and rules of the hunt are given to the hunters and they agree to abide by them. But before the hunt can even get started, one of the hunters is found dead! Was it murder? Was it one of the other hunters who did it? Why?
Dixie Gordon runs one of two local bar and grills. Her husband, Dan, disappeared four years ago when their twin daughters were babies. The divorce proceedings will be final in three weeks. Dixie has just received word that her soon to be ex-husband is coming back to Bear Creek. Is he planning to try to stop the divorce, take the girls or try to get the bar? Why is he coming back now? Dan threatens Dixie.
The other bar and grill owner is trying to hurt Dixie’s business, but why? They cater to different customers. Dixie is shot at twice. Is the shooter trying to scare her or kill her? Why? Who?
Chip Green is investigating the murders and shootings. As more murders are committed, Chip needs help. Since Blake and Kirby are reserve deputies, Chip activates them when the extra help he has requested from the sheriff’s department doesn’t come.
Blake tries to protect Dixie and find the killer. Can he keep Dixie and her girls safe? Can he keep himself safe?

How and Why I Write Novels
Several blogs back, I promised that I would tell you about my novel writing process and even why I write what I write. Well, after much thought, (and even some procrastination) here it is.
First, I would like to reemphasize the fact that I have always loved to read, As I mentioned in an earlier blog, I have averaged over a hundred books per year since I was in third or fourth grade. I love to read all kinds of books but over the past twenty years or so, I’ve read a lot more novels than anything else. Most of those novels have been mysteries or suspense with some romance added in to keep it interesting.
In a couple of weeks, my sixteenth novel should be published. Guess what? All sixteen of those novels fit the above description. I write what I like to read and the more I read, the better I think my own novels get.
That’s pretty much all I can say about why I write. Being a former English teacher, it hurts me to make the following statement but I’m going to bite the bullet and say it anyway. I write because I can’t not write! Sound familiar? I know I’ve heard a lot of other writers make very much the same statement.
Now, the most important part of this blog (at least to me). I not only write what I read, but I write the way I read.
Whoa! That is not clear! Let me explain. When I start to read a good book, I start out by getting to know the main characters. Then I move on to whatever problem or problems the main characters face. Then, as I continue to read, the plot develops and I’m trying to figure out how the hero and heroine are going to solve their problems and eventually come together. I like surprise endings so that when I look back at the book, I realize that I should have seen them coming.
As I mentioned above, I write the way I read!
I start out with a male character and a female character and I get to know them. I build relationships between them and other, minor characters. I begin to add in problems that each one of them must face before they can ever think of being together. As I go through the book, I drop little hints as to what the major problem may be. Then, by the time I get to the climatic part of the book, the major problem comes out. But, the way that my characters deal with and conquer this major problem doesn’t really surface until that point in the book.
If you have read any of my novels, you know that by the time the two main characters come together at the end, their lives have changed and they have come closer to God. This is a vital part of my novels, but it is usually (as in real life) only a byproduct of all the other events in the novel.
In another series of blogs, I am in the process of telling the story behind each of those stories. What I want to do right now is more or less tell you the story behind … me.
I think that for many people, me included, it is nice to know a little about the author so that I may better understand that particular author’s books. As you read the following, you will see where many characters, scenes and occupations came from in my novels.
So, here it is.
I grew up in a very small town in Southeast Missouri. That time of my life indelibly stamped me as a small-town boy. (You can take the boy out of the small town but you can’t take the small town out of the boy.)
The next significant event in my life was that in January of 1970, I joined the U. S. Army. I knew I was going to get drafted soon so I thought that it was best to join first. Man! Was that ever one of the best things I ever did. It sure made my two years in the Army so much better. The Army trained me to be a combat medic so they could send me to Vietnam in that capacity. But, God was with me then very much, even though I wasn’t with Him. Shortly before I was due to graduate from that training and go to Vietnam, I was given the opportunity to go to a year-long OJT (On the Job Training) to become an Orthopedic Specialist. I had to extend my enlistment for eighteen months but I figured that would be better than the alternative.
That was another one of those best things I ever did. Not only did I not have to go to Vietnam, but I met my wife Ann there and I still only spent two years in the Army due to an early out they were giving when Vietnam was winding down in 1972.
Well, the first job I had once I left the Army was bartender. Yes! One of my books has one of the main characters being a bar owner. How do you think I could portray that the way I did?
Next, I passed the Colorado Real Estate Exam and became a real estate agent. Notice how often that career pops up in my books.
Then I finally went back to school and earned my degree in education from Arizona State University with a double major in English and history. Notice how many of my characters are teachers.
Then, in 1983, God finally said it was time. I accepted the Lord on July 31, 1983. Two years later, I felt God calling me into the ministry so my wife, my two daughters and I packed up and headed for seminary in Fort Worth, Texas.
I pastored for ten years then I finished my Doctor of Ministry in Biblical Counseling. From there, my preparation to write really began to finalize. Over the next twenty years, I was a pastoral counselor, crisis counselor, hospital chaplain and police chaplain.
I must remind you that during all this time, I was reading. But somehow my reading material shifted somewhat during that time. I read a lot of books written by women. Wow! Did I ever learn about women as it read those books. In fact, I learned so much about women and the way they think and act that many times when I was doing marriage counseling, I would set the husband down, in front of his wife, and explain to him exactly where she was coming from. Not only was the husband shocked to finally be able to understand his wife, but the wife was shocked to hear a man voice her inner thoughts and feelings that way.
Disclaimer! I must admit that as a man trying to understand women, I still have much to learn. My wife, Ann, says that even after forty-five years, I still don’t understand her the way she would like for me to. Oh well! Maybe after another forty-five years.
Now you know, not only how I write my novels, but how I have learned to develop the characters that I include in my novels.
I certainly hope you have enjoyed reading this blog as much as I enjoyed writing it. I’m not going to take any of the credit for all of the things which have shaped me into the writer I am today.
No! Not me!
To God be the Glory!
Thank you and may God richly bless each and every one of you.

Accepted Memories
Accepted Memories (The Sycamore P.D. Series) – The Story Behind the Story
Here is the second in my series on how I came to write each one of my series and of course, each individual novel. Please feel free to ask me any questions about any of my novels or series that I may not answer in these blogs.
Ten months after the events of Lost Memories, someone is attacking women in Sycamore. Then the attacker leaves a note saying Alison is next. This brings Alison and her brother’s best friend, police detective Stan Becker, together as he tries to protect her.
Alison never knew either of her parents, now her mother is back. How can she just accept Sarah and go on as if she hadn’t been gone for twenty years? Then she becomes aware of Stan in a different way.
Stan has secretly loved Alison for ten years. He works with his partner, Grant, and their sergeant, Sonia Nordstrom to protect Alison and catch the attacker.
Stan and Alison each try to deal with the attacks, their past, and then with each other.
Okay, that’s the story. Now let’s start looking at the story behind the story.
As I should have mentioned in the blog about Lost Memories, having been a police chaplain for a number of years, I gained both a knowledge of police procedures and also an admiration and respect for police officers in general and especially detectives. So, it was relatively easy and much fun writing about the three detectives in this series.
Also, as you may have been able to figure out on your own, all of my main characters work in occupations that I have been in over the last forty-five years. And yes, I was a real estate agent in Colorado in the early 1970s. Therefore, Alison’s job came as easy to me as all the rest.
I especially enjoyed writing about a man, Stan, who had secretly been in love with Alison for many years. But the fact that Alison took him for granted at best was frustrating to him. Alison, on the other hand, comes across sometimes, especially in Lost Memories, as a little flighty at least. But as you will notice in Accepted Memories, she is much more than that.
One of the distinctive points about all of my novels is that there is always a bad guy who has emotional/psychological problems. The attacker in this novel would fit but so would the next-door neighbor who was obsessed with Alison. My education (doctorate in counseling) and my experience as a crisis counselor help me to portray the type of person who loses touch with reality.
So, when you put all of that together, you have a mystery that some have called surprising at the end.
Now, I hope you enjoyed this blog as much as I enjoyed writing it. If you have any questions or even comments, please feel free to contact me through any of the below methods. Also, I would love it if you would give me ideas on what you would like to know about my novels and how I write them.

Lost Memories (The Sycamore P.D. Series) - The Story Behind the Story
As I promised in my last blog, I am starting my series on how I came to write each one of my series and of course, each individual book. Also, as I mentioned in the previous blog, please feel free to ask me any questions about any of my books or series that I may not answer in this blog.
My first series was The Sycamore P. D. series. This series is about two families with a few others thrown in for good measure, the Thompson family and the Newcomb family.
The Thompson family consists of Grant, his sister Alison, his aunt Sybil and their long lost mother Sarah Thompson Newcomb.
The Newcomb family consists of Kelly, her older brother Wayne, her grandmother Elizabeth and her grandfather Harold.
Sarah Thompson married Air Force pilot Harry Newcomb and left her children, Grant and Alison with her sister, Sybil while they went on their honeymoon. Harry told her family that she had been killed in a car wreck in Europe while on their honeymoon.
Lost Memories
Now, twenty years later Sarah Thompson Newcomb is very much alive and suffering from amnesia for all that time. Her husband, Harry, is killed in Afghanistan and she comes back to Sycamore, AZ, to be with his family not knowing that she had any family of her own there. All of these people are thrown together by the mystery surrounding Harry’s death. How do they each deal with their own memories and with each other?
Grant’s mother, Sarah, supposedly died when he was nine but now she is back to bury her husband. She has suffered from amnesia for the last twenty years. How can he accept her back into his life?
Kelly never knew her father, now Harry is dead and she never will get the chance to know him. She searches for meaning in her life. Being partly crippled in a car collision at the age of twelve, she struggles to be a fully functioning executive. Then Grant comes into her life.
Grant, a police detective, has problems with his sergeant and while trying to solve two murders. If that wasn’t enough, he now has to deal with his mother suddenly reappearing and his growing attraction for Kelly.
Grant and Kelly each try to deal with all they have lost individually and then together.
Okay, that’s the story. Now let’s start looking at the story behind the story.
Several years before I began writing this series, I read a newspaper article about a woman who had been reunited with her family after suffering from permanent amnesia for more than twenty years. Well, I took that idea and built on it. Having been a medic in the Army during the Vietnam War, I had worked with soldiers who had lost their memory too.
I had several false starts with this book and the series before I decided to build it around a small city police department and a family who owned a new car dealership. My ten years as a police chaplain gave me all the background I needed for that. I also worked for a new car dealership for a while after I got out of the Army.
Why a small city in Arizona? At the time I was writing this series, I was living in a small Arizona city and was the chaplain for their police department. I simply wrote about what I knew very well.
As I was writing this blog, I started to write about how I write but then I decided to make that the subject of a special blog separate from this series of blogs about my series and books. Look for that special blog soon.
I will say one thing about how I write. It was something that simply developed while I was writing The Sycamore P. D. Series. My plot nor my characters are ever fully developed on paper or even in my mind when I start a novel. They learn about themselves and God, change and grow as the book progresses. I like that and I hope you do too.
Now, I hope you enjoyed this blog as much as I enjoyed writing it. If you have any questions or even comments, please feel free to contact me through any of the below methods. Also, I would love it if you would give me ideas on what you would like to know about my books and how I write them.

New Series of Blogs
I love to read! Do you?
I have read over a hundred books almost every year of my life since I was in third or fourth grade (two years off for the Army). Since 1997, I have kept an Access database with a listing in it for every book I have read since. I just checked it and in spite of having major surgery and also having to move twice in 2015, I still read 116 books.
So books mean so much more to me than they do to most people. I’m sure that my English teacher background has much to do with this, but as I mentioned above, I’ve always been this way and that’s the reason I majored in English.
But I had a dual major. The other one was history. So, when you combine the two, at least for me, you get someone who not only wants to read a good story but who would also like to know the story behind the story.
I am sure there are many other readers out there like me in this respect. So, with that in mind, I am going to start a series of blogs here on Goodreads that will not only tell you the story of each of my books but also tell you the story behind the story.
What I mean by ‘the story behind the story’ is this. I will answer some questions such as: How did I come up with the story, the characters, the place and the title. I’m sure that as I get into this thing, I’ll probably come up with some more questions to answer.
And … if you come up with some questions about any of my books or about any of my other answers, please feel free to ask me in whatever media form you would like. If you choose to email me, my email address is tekillianbooks@hotmail.com. You may also go through Goodreads as well or even use the anonymous response on my webpage: www.tekillian.com.
I will take each series and first talk about the series and the first book in that series. Then in the next two or three blogs I will talk about each of the other books in that series.
I will start with my first series, The Sycamore P. D. series. Please be looking for each of these blogs as they appear.
As always, thank you for loving to read,
