The Great Texas Dance (2020)
(Tales of Zebadiah Creed, book 2)
Mark C Jackson
"Mark C Jackson waltzes into Texas history with the surety of a writer at the top of his craft."
The Bloody Black Flag (2017)
(Spider John Mystery, book 1)
Steve Goble
"Steve Goble's debut novel is a rollicking tale of murder and mayhem. He tells a pirate tale like no one else has ever done before. It's unique, original, and all told with the deft hand of an emerging master storyteller. The best thing about this novel? There will be more Spider John books. I can't wait to go on another pirate adventure with this likeable, but dangerous, crew."
Heart of Stone (2016)
(Ellie Stone Mystery, book 4)
James W Ziskin
"Ellie Stone has quickly become one of my favorite sleuths as she careens into the modern world, demanding her rightful place--and getting it--no matter how hard anyone tries to deter her or how much jeopardy she puts herself into."
