A Novel

The year is 1739. Eliza Lucas is sixteen years old when her father leaves her in charge of their family's three plantations in rural South Carolina and then proceeds to bleed the estates dry in pursuit of his military ambitions. Tensions with the British, and with the Spanish in Florida, just a short way down the coast, are rising, and slaves are starting to become restless. Her mother wants nothing more than for their South Carolina endeavor to fail so they can go back to England. Soon her family is in danger of losing everything.Upon hearing how much the French pay for indigo dye, Eliza believes it's the key to their salvation. But everyone tells her it's impossible, and no one will share the secret to making it. Thwarted at nearly every turn, even by her own family, Eliza finds that her only allies are an aging horticulturalist, an older and married gentleman lawyer, and a slave with whom she strikes a dangerous deal: teach her the intricate thousand-year-old secret process of making indigo dye and in return-against the laws of the day-she will teach the slaves to read.So begins an incredible story of love, dangerous and hidden friendships, ambition, betrayal, and sacrifice.Based on historical documents, including Eliza's letters, this is a historical fiction account of how a teenage girl produced indigo dye, which became one of the largest exports out of South Carolina, an export that laid the foundation for the incredible wealth of several Southern families who still live on today. Although largely overlooked by historians, the accomplishments of Eliza Lucas influenced the course of US history. When she passed away in 1793, President George Washington served as a pallbearer at her funeral.This book is set between 1739 and 1744, with romance, intrigue, forbidden friendships, and political and financial threats weaving together to form the story of a remarkable young woman whose actions were before their time: the story of the indigo girl.

A Western Novel

No one cares enough about the nearly-abandoned, West Texas border town to give it a permanent name or stand up for the remaining citizens. With a few exceptions, unless someone works for the largest cattle outfit in the region or operates the only saloon in town, there isn't much worth sticking around for. As the tense relationship between the two opposing groups simmers, a trio of brothers comes to town and quickly becomes embroiled in the battle for supremacy. Hostilities come to a head when a mysterious woman arrives in the border region to appeal to those involved and remind them of their dutiful sense of right and wrong. In a harsh western landscape, the struggle of moral consequence draws a dividing line between justice and survival.

Jake Lafarge and his mother were abandoned by his father in the Louisiana woods when Jake was just four years old. At the age of 17 Jake hired on with a hard-nosed Texas cattleman named Cyrus Ellsworth and headed north on a trail drive to Montana. Ellsworth becomes the father figure that Jake never had as they carve out a ranch in eastern Montana. The year is now 1886 and the open range, the old west is rapidly disappearing thanks to the thousands of homesteaders that have come and began plowing and fencing the range. Some of these people are not law abiding. When Ellsworth catches two of them stealing his cattle, he dishes out his own hard justice. Unfortunately for Jake, he is part of that day which sets in motion a calamity of events as Jake tries to make amends to the widow of one of the dead men. In the end his allegiance to his surrogate father will be severely tested.
