TEXAS BLUE is a story that has been in my head since I wrote TEXAS RAIN four years ago. Ride along with me and I promise I’ll take you through Texas from a ranch big enough to be its own kingdom to a fight in Texas history that became a legend the Texas Rangers still repeat. Both learn and grow as they discover what is important in life. Duncan fighting, being hurt in the fight, being held captive and Lewt learning how to act around women he doesn’t have to buy a drink to talk to.

The reader steps into two stories running at once. Though Lewt knows his friend would never introduce a gambler to his rich relatives, he wants a chance for more than just a life in saloons. Lewt decides to join a group of men Duncan hand selected to travel to Whispering Mountain and meet his three female cousins. Lewt has never done anything brave and never plans to. Duncan, a Texas Ranger, is off to fight at the border and Lewt, a gambler, plans to find a wife while his friend is away.ĭuncan, called Duck when he was a boy in earlier books, is wild and fearless. First, I opened in 1875, with two friends parting ways one stormy night in Austin. TEXAS BLUE, my 31st book, will be out in April and I had a great time with this adventure across Texas.
