"The legend of Joe, Willy & Red," a story of the outrageous thirties - august of 1933 in fact, and the unlikely friendship of three men who choose the hobo trail rather than face the consequences of crimes the were accused of, but did not commit. They find themselves in a harrowing adventure of epic proportion and in a fight for their very survival.

After seven years of exile, Justin Hacker returns to his hometown of Nogales, Arizona to try and break his younger brother out of a Mexican prison where he awaits to be hung for crimes he didn't commit. But first, Justin must overcome certain obstacles - such as, a town bully, a Mexican bandito and his gang, being stranded naked on the desert, an Indian attack, a father who has vowed to shoot him on sight should he return to Nogales and match wits with a maniacal prison warden who hates gringos. And if that isn't enough, after several twists of fate, Justin has to lead the whole town of Nogales, back across the border where his father and uncle now await the hangman's noose in the dreaded Mexican prison.Hacker's Raid is a fast moving page turner with non-stop action that keeps you asking what's going to happen next.----

Clay Brentwood returns to his ranch but rather than finding rest and relaxation he so desperately needs he find that his Indian ranch hands are accused of stealing cattle from his neighbors. What's worse, both of the women who are competing for his affections are also waiting for him there...together...which may be more trouble than he can handle.

The newspapers called him "The Chameleon," because during each assassination the killer looks incredibly like someone that everyone knows, including the Governor of the state of Texas. When Clay Brentwood gets on his trail, he has to wonder if those around him are what they seem. Even Clay's boss Bill McDaniel, head of the Texas Rangers, has been acting strangely and Clay can't be sure he is the same man he has known all these years. For Clay, the problem is obvious - how does he stop a madman with no known identity?

THEY HAD LEFT HIM FOR DEAD For two and a half years, Clay Brentwood has been trying to catch up with the men who shot him in the head and left him for dead. It wasn't bad enough that they burned his ranch to the ground and stole his horses and cattle, but they also took it upon themselves to rape and then murder his pregnant wife...and for that they had to die.

CLAY BRENTWOOD-RANCHER TURNED GUNMAN ON THE VENGEANCE TRAIL Just when Clay Brentwood thought things were about to quiet down, new trouble comes his way in the form of Austin, Texas judge, Horatio B. Tyson. The judge sends Bill McDaniel, head of the Texas Rangers, on a manhunt with two murder warrants; both for Clay Brentwood. The judge's last words to Bill McDaniel were, "Bring him back, dead or alive. And I don't care which."

ENZO BABINEAUX WAS PURE EVIL. His mouth salivated as he watched the healthy looking young woman with the fiery red hair putting gold nuggets into a leather pouch. She had no hat on and her red hair glistened in the sunshine. He would take his time with this one, he thought to himself. He would make her scream and beg for him to let her die. He enjoyed it best when they begged. Enzo didn't know it, but the only problem with his plan was that, although you would never know it from looking, the girl knew she was being watched. It was the big Morgan she rode that had raised his head from where he stood eating grass, letting her know that someone or something was nearby. "Well", she thought to herself, "if he wants to try something stupid..."

Rancher turned Texas Ranger Clay Brentwood takes on a routine assignment escorting a prisoner from the Dallas jail to the prison in Canon City, Colorado. He's looking forward to an easy job, and then settling down for a bit. At least that's the way he had it figured.

Rancher turned gunman Clay Brentwood is in pursuit the Marlowe Brothers in western Arizona but he finds that, despite the fact that they are outlaws, they seem to have friends in high places that are determined to stop Clay and help them get away. Clay stays determined and navigates many obstacles as he follows their trail. Along the way, he picks up a mongrel dog he calls Ol' Son. It has been said that a dog is a man's best friend and Clay will need one before his encounter with the Marlowe Brothers and their friends is done

Hello, my name is Brody O'Shea and like many young Irish boys of thirteen, I dreamed of sailing the seven seas - exploring new lands - fighting off pirates single handed - saving young damsels in distress - and overcoming all odds to save my friends who were in danger. In some of my dreams, I owned a large island and was the king. In my dreams, life wasalways grand Then, when I was able to go to sea as a midshipman on a cargo ship, those dreams were put by the wayside when I actually came face to face with real pirates. Some were not only pirates, but pirates with wizards powers Finally, when an evil wizard-pirate known as Abaddon captured my twin sister, my parents and my friends to make slaves of them on his mysterious island, known as Morador, my life changed forever. How was I, a young lad of thirteen supposed to do battle against a mighty wizard like Abaddon? Well, it's all in this book.

Black, storm clouds suddenly filled the sky. The wind was so strong the people had to brace themselves? Suddenly Malimar's menacing face appeared in the clouds. It was a huge; his eyes blazing ruby red and fire was shooting from his mouth like a dragon. And when he spoke, it sounded like it was coming from deep in the bowels of the earth. "Brody O'Shea I know you are somewhere within the sound of my voice Hear me, Whelp, I have come for you, boy You slipped through my fingers once, but no more Come and face me if you dare I'm waiting. If you don't want to see your city and its people destroyed, you will not delay " "I'm coming " I yelled, as I leaped onto my horse and raced toward the wharf, leaving the stunned and confused people behind.

The judge looked down on Jubal Courtney and leaned his chin against his folded hands. After what seemed to be a long while, the judge spoke. "Master Courtney, that was quite a speech; claiming to be innocent - something a smart minded criminal might come up with. I salute you. You're and Irishman, aren't you?" he said with a sneer, like being Irish was in itself, a criminal charge. I could see the look on his face and knew I was a condemned man. "I am from Ireland, your honor, but I didn't...?" Cutting him off, the judge said, "Jubal Courtney, for the charges of robbery and murder in the first degree, I sentence you to be imprisoned in the penal colony in New South Wales for the rest of your life. And may God have mercy on your black Irish soul."

The people of Earth woke up to see the skies filled with giant Orbs the size of the Dallas Cowboy's stadium. Fighter planes couldn't get closer than a quarter of a mile without their controls being taken over, resulting in them being sent back to where they came from. Rockets fired at the Orbs blew up when they smashed against the invisible shields.The President, Sterling Collier, calls his friend and personal bodyguard, Liam Biggers into the Oval Office to talk strategy only to have his friend LIam suddenly disappear and be replaced by a hologram of a man who looks like he could be from Earth. The image explains that his name is Emmelor and that he is from another planet, 300 trillion miles away. He goes on to explain that another planet in their solar system wants to wage war with them and in their culture they fight wars with just two warriors - one Champion representing each planet chosen from around the Universe to face one another in an arena to the death. Making the President swear an oath he will not reveal their conversation, Emmelor disappears, leaving the President to try and convince the world that they have nothing to fear from the mysterious orbs and that everything is ok.Meanwhile, Liam Biggers must train to fight the most deadly aliens in the Universe to defend a people he has never met and who have kidnapped him away from all he has ever known. When he meets and falls in love with his beautiful healer, Lucita, things get complicated. And, when the other alien race that declared war on Emmelor and his people breaks the rules, things get a whole lot more exciting 300 Trillion Miles from Home. EXCERPTLiam Edward Biggers opened his eyes to total darkness. He felt as though he was floating on air. When he reached his arms out, he felt what appeared to be glass. He was in a glass container of some kind, and he couldn't see anything. The only thing he could hear was the sound of air hissing. He continued to drift in and out of a dreamless sleep, for how long, he had no idea, but when he finally woke up, he was sitting in a chair with his wrists and ankles strapped to the arms and legs. A small, very thin man with pale skin was staring at him."Mister Biggers, I'm glad to see you are finally awake. Did you have a good sleep?"Liam stared around the room. There was a bed, a dresser, two side tables with lamps sitting on them and over against one wall, a small desk and swivel chair. The last he remembered was being in the White House, the Oval Office to be exact - speaking with the President."What have you done with the President?" Liam asked. "And how do you know my name?""I see you woke up confused, which is understandable. Maybe some breakfast will put you in a better mood. Steak, medium, eggs over easy, toast, lightly buttered, and coffee, black. Does that sound about right?" the strange little man asked.Liam's stomach was growling from hunger, but he looked at the man and said, "I'm not hungry. Now, give me some answers or so help me, I'll do things to you that you won't like."Emmelor looked at Liam and said, "Not that it will make a difference, but I guess you should know why you are here."Liam looked at his surroundings and didn't like what he saw, as a gnawing feeling began to build in his stomach. Emmelor's next words confirmed the feeling in his gut."You are to be a participant in the games. You will face opponents in mortal combat, each time you are called upon. Your first opponent will be from planet, X-159.""And if I refuse?" Liam asked. "Shock treatment?"Emmelor shook his head back and forth. "No. One way or another, you will be put into the arena. Whether you fight or not is entirely up to you. If you choose not to fight, your opponent will kill you and you will not have to worry about fighting anyone else. Nor will you have to worry about seeing your friend, President Collier, or your family, ever again. The choice will be entirely y

In St. Louis, fate threw him together with two, freed slaves, Rufus and Sara Dogwood, who were trying to survive in the white man's world, but once again fate intervened and Rufus found himself in jail with Lucas, who was facing four murder charges, that, technically, he wasn't guilty of.
