Flight from Shame
2021
She left everything behind to escape the whispers, running away with no destination.
He lost it all – his position, his wife, his children, his voice – and is trying desperately to rebuild.
And they both landed in the unlikeliest town in the Old West.
Redemption Bluff, Kansas started out as a refuge for outlaws, prostitutes, drifters and others on the outside of society looking for a new start. By 1870, those reformed rejects from civilization had built a town that (if they can get the railroad to come) just might survive and contribute something positive to the world.
One of those rejects is Custis, who runs the local livery stable. Not much is known about his past, only that it damaged him so badly that usually he can only speak five words – “We’ve got laws around here.” Despite the town’s affection for him, his is a life of frustration, shackled to failures he can’t share.
Cressida Blancher knows about failure. After twenty years as a small-town schoolmarm, she’s fleeing west with no goal but to get far away from where she’s been. When she’s stranded in Redemption Bluff after a stagecoach accident, she runs into Custis and wonders if there’s a way she can help him – and maybe herself – heal from the wounds of the past.
It’s not going to be easy – it may even take a miracle. But Redemption Bluff has seen miracles before. And it might be just the place Cressida and Custis need to come to on their FLIGHT FROM SHAME.

Flight for Honor
2021
By the summer of 1870, Redemption Bluff, Kansas was an established town. The isolated settlement had grown as outlaws and renegades, runaways and fallen women, the traumatized and rejected had come, found second chances, new jobs and new lives. And in at least a dozen cases, found true love as well.
Which leaves Cletus Morris wondering when he’ll meet someone.
The self-described hillbilly, mercantile owner and Civil War sniper is sick and tired of every other man meeting the woman of his dreams. So he takes matters into his own hands, writing a famous agency in New Orleans to send him a mail-order bride. Surely they can find him someone suitable for a fifty-something bachelor.
But a paperwork error leads to trouble, and the woman who arrives is even less interested in him than he is in her. Worse still, she’s running away from an arranged marriage – and her groom-to-be, his pride slighted, is on his way from the Crescent City to bring her back. Throw in a bitter spinster, a hayseed with matrimony on his mind, the start of the town’s first newspaper, the ongoing effort to get the railroad to come, and the mercantile clerk’s new baby, and Cletus has a lot of problems to solve.
Oh, and did we mention some of the local Indians are on the warpath?
Add it all up, and it might take a miracle to straighten things out. But miracles are Redemption Bluff’s stock in trade, even if you can’t buy one at the mercantile. How will it all come out? Find out as Cletus and everyone around him take off on a FLIGHT FOR HONOR.
