  COTTONWOOD CROSSING A stolen piece of Texas land. A crooked survey. And a dangerous enemy who will stop at nothing to take it. When Eldridge Sample finally begins to believe he has found a place worth staying, trouble comes riding up the road to Pawnee Creek. Wren Calloway and her children have built a life on a hard-won parcel along the creek, working the land and putting the past behind them. But the land has attracted the attention of powerful men who see something more valuable than a family homestead. A shell company files a competing claim.

Then life intervened and in this timeline, at least, I went corporate for awhile and small business owner and now… ONE MAN MEDIA COMPANY Where I write books, and make videos and audiobooks for myself. But I hold a not so secret hope in my heart I’m going to make movies (based on my stories) and I keep experimenting with it. I have a project in what I’d call pre-production right now, where I’m storyboarding a script for a brand new story- did you know there were women ...
