During the time when stoop labor is needed by farmers in the United States you see them working in fields throughout the United States. Brown skinned people of South Texas jam into old vehicles and set out for places where they hope to earn enough money to help get them fed and clothed until El Patrons cotton and vegetable fields give them a winter job. Hispanic migratory workers play a large role in keeping us fed and clothed. Often times they are mistreated and abused. BASTARD follows one group of these workers from their South Texas homes to a Colorado beet field. Destined to follow this path of migration for generations, Hesus and his bodyguard, Juan, follow the workers before they go to Southern Methodist University to learn how to better conditions for the people of Tex-Mex heritage. In the same order as Sinclair Lewis in DUBIOUS BATTLE, the author hopes this novel will draw attention to the migratory workers of the Southwest. In addition this touching story of a familys fight for existence should be some mighty fine reading savored with a touch of chili powder.

All characters not found in historical documents are from the author’s imagination. When a mob shot Joseph Smith, Bishop Lyman Wight was in Texas looking for a new home for the people known as Mormons. When President Brigham Young was elected to lead the group, he sought to form a new colony in California Territory called Deseret. On reaching Kanesville (Council Bluff), Bishop George Miller took a wagon train south to unite with Wight. My interpretation of the characterization of the Latter Day Saints is drawn from several sources. APOSTATE is a story of hard ships and deprivation. George Miller’s group took off for Texas in the middle of the winter. Lycia Smith (fictitious) had recently...
Halelsville, Texas in 1975 was a quiet university town until Brother Bob started building a Solomons temple on taxes for permission to have sex! When Journalist Professor Tom Davis rode into town, he smelled burning flesh from a torched topless bar. His investigation brought him into a relationship with vivacious Sherri Grayson. It also brought him into a deadly conflict with an insane cult leader who was intent on controlling the minds of everyone from the prosperous new car dealer to an elderly couple seeking to have one last fling before they died. Before smoke cleared from burnt offerings, Halelsville was under siege from troops led by Federal Bureau of Investigation. Second to not even David Koreshs Waco compound, Brother Bobs evil empire almost succeeded.
The Reverend Nick Fielding was sure AIDS was sent to kill all gay men. When asked to use his powerful broadcasting network to educate the public on the spread of the horrible disease, he refused. Nick was not the typical evangelist. He grew up in a reform school after he maimed and killed customers of the sexual insatiable, Nancy, the girl he not only pimped for but loved enough to marry. Trained in chemical warfare in the detention home, he served in World War II, in a highly-skilled special unit. Drunk and disorderly at the end of his rope, a miracle changed Nick the drunk to the Reverend Nick Fielding. Told in flash backs, Nick suddenly used his broadcasting system to help combat AIDS. Was it God who changed Nick, or was it something more sinister?
