Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frank Boyd found the hazy but bright Atlantic morning most invigorating as he stepped upon the deck. Unbeknownst to him, not far away on this same immigrant ship travelled his future English bride. Frank and Estelle Tompkins decided to marry and undertake this new challenge of life in America together. They travelled the expanse of a great new land, taking their first-born with them. Their new perspective could not have been better, nor more promising, in sunny California. With the arrival of their angelic and blue-eyed, golden-haired Mary, it seemed that life was nearly at optimum for the Boyds - but then the crash of '29 altered their lives forever. It was onward to Oregon where an unkindly fate awaited the young Scotsman. Devastated and shattered, Estelle and her children came to know and love the mysterious Sam Jennings and his Indian friends, as well as the young cowboy Bob Clemm. In addition, an all-new arena opened to Mary Boyd when Demon entered her world and she became a renowned rodeo trick rider with no peers. "Well, you chose to be a rodeo star," Bob uttered as she rose to disengage him. And so Mary risked losing her first love to cousin Jennifer Tompkins. However, the war came and changed many lives: Cowboy Clemm, now turned marine, had to depart from those women he loved so well; and Mary's new course with the rodeo circuit had its own betrayal and pitfalls. The road back to Oregon was tiring and chancy for Mary who must now rid herself of the effects of forced passion, an unwanted child, even at the risk of her own life. In the heart and warm eyes of Jim Warren, Mary found the refuge that she so sorely needed at the nadir of her life. But her respite would be all too brief as the cold Nebraska winter spent its course. Mary, to her sorrow, learned of her brother's grim sacrifice, but now with her and Bob's love rekindled Mary must keep the faith as she reassembled her life once again in Oregon. With her brother torn from her life, a new miracle arrived in the form of Billy's unmarried Filipino "wife". Along with the beautiful Rosa Santos came Billy's son, and another obligation that only Mary's husband, Bob Clemm, could fulfill. As Mary basked in the warmth of her adventurous memories, she awaited the arrival of her first son, knowing that she had been to the greatest heights and the darkest depths, and yet emerged a star and a winner in so many ways.

But who knows for sure what nature can do, or forces higher than we? I sure don’t,...and neither did Cory and Jessica Vance,...until it happened! One minute, they were asleep in their own bed, in 2007, and the next morning, they woke up in someone else’s house, in the year 1876! Sound bizarre?...To say the least! Why did it happen to them,...and for what reason? That was only two of a few dozen questions they pondered on for the next sixteen days,...and became an adventure they would never forget! They were doing things only imagined before. They were suffering fear of the unknown, fear of losing their humanity or, who they were,...all without knowing why it had happened? There were dozens of theories, maybes and what ifs, but the bottom line was that they were thought to be someone they were not and because of that, were forced to carry out an event that had already happened once,...but now, it would happen again, with them as the new cast in an ongoing serial. They were about to face dying at the hands of a ruthless killer if the madman’s plot succeeded,...and it would succeed unless Cory was able to change the outcome of what had already happened! But if he did, they also knew that it could change the future and that, blended with the dreaded fear of dying was what worried them the most. The thought of leaving their family, and they not knowing what had happened to them was devastating. But they had no choice, they had been sent to the past, obviously to right a wrong that happened there. But why,...to fix a wrong that happened in 2007?...One that was about to happen,...what? They may never know! This is a time odyssey, a glimpse of what could be possible,...and no one knows for certain that it is not,...and who knows, science may discover the secret, but if it does, it’ll be because a greater force allowed it, a force that already has the formula.

Captain L.H. McNelly, a complex and determined Confederate veteran, is brought into the Nueces Strip for one purpose: to keep the peace. His measures are harsh and controversial, but McNelly wasn’t sent to be popular. In this boiler pot of killing and racial hatred, however, even his methods may not be enough to bring lasting peace. The Day the Cowboys Quit 1833. Canadian River cowboy country is changing as a different breed moves in—big outfits backed by Eastern syndicates and run by power-hungry “managers” who figure to make a profit, even if it means crowding a cowboy too far. Wagon boss Hugh Hitchcock tries to keep the peace between rancher and cowboy. But when the ranchers steal his cattle, lynch his friend, and hire a back shooter to put him in his grave, he joins the fight himself. They may take everything he has, but they cannot touch his pride—or his willingness to fight to the bloody end.
