“Mayaguez and the Murder Ship” trace the marine exploits of First Mate, later Captain, Casey Flynn. Aboard the container ship Mayaguez, he was First Mate during the surprise capture of that vessel and crew by Cambodian communists in 1975.

Kit Carson at the First Battle of Adobe Walls
The ruins of Adobe Walls, one-time saloon, fort, and trading post with the Plains Indians was the 1864 site of the largest battle between the Indian and the U.S. Army. Some three hundred army troops, mostly cavalry, were led by famous western explorer, Indian agent, fighter and trapper Christopher (Kit) Carson. Not only was it the largest battle between the Indian and U.S. Army, it was the only time the army was forced to withdraw. Why withdraw? Because Carson and his New Mexico and California volunteers were outnumbered ten to one by their combined Kiowa, Comanche, and Arapaho enemy. Had it not been for Carson's command ability, a greater massacre than the Little Big Horn would have occurred.
A Jan Kokk Mystery
In his latest exploit, larger-than-life Curacao private investigator Jan Kokk is hired to unravel a 126-year-old mystery. Who killed Van Gogh, the famous Dutch painter? At the time, popular rumor insisted van Gogh shot himself while painting in the picturesque village of Auvers-sur-Oise near Paris. With passing time, the rumor became legend. Kokk’s job was to find the truth. As usual, Kokk teamed with an attractive, talented young lady for help as interpreter and assistant sleuth. As usual, teamwork turned tender. Once the strange case ended, Kokk found himself alone without the young lady. Had Kokk’s famed charm with the ladies failed, or was there yet another mystery?

Sam is duped, eventually realizing the depth of his near-treasonous dilemma, and asks for agency assistance to extricate him.

The Texas Revolution: Tejano Heroes
Most Americans are aware that Texas gained its independence from Santa Annas Mexico in the 1840s. Mention of the Alamo evokes the familiar names of heroes like Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie and William Travis.

The sacrifices, bravery and valor of that group--the Tejanos, Texans of Hispanic ancestry--are the focus of The Texas Revolution: Tejano Heroes. It was not just at famous battles such as Agua Dulce, Bexar, Goliad, the Alamo and San Jacinto that Tejanos made their mark on Texas history, often giving their lives and fortunes. Long before the arrival of Stephen F. Austi...
