Once again, the Ohio Valley is about to turn red with blood! After returning from a long hunt, Zach Watkins finally sets his mind to tackle the many projects around the homestead. Meanwhile, his Mohican friend Henry Okweho signs on as a guide for an expedition to map the upper Ohio Valley. However, when Zach learns the expedition’s real purpose, he drops his ax and rushes to warn Henry. After days of searching, Zach finds that the party has been killed, and Henry is now a slave of the Kickapoo Indians. To win Henry’s freedom, Zach agrees to complete several seemingly impossible tasks. Complicating matters is a beautiful Indian maiden. Her father, a Kickapoo chief, has arranged a marriage between his daughter and the son of a powerful Seneca chief. But the girl, who has been abused and raped by her fiancé, has other plans when she falls in love with the unsuspecting Henry. Now Zach must rescue his friend, save the maiden from a fate worse than death, and prevent conflict between the tribes and the settlers that would turn the valley red with blood!

Writing has always been a lifelong dream. Finally, at 71 years young, that dream became a reality. I am honored to be part of Dusty Saddles Publishing, the leading publisher of Western Novels. Currently, I have several Western Series on Amazon: Chet Henderson: Texas Ranger Adventure Series, Bear Willis: Mountain Man Series, and Willie McGee: Mountain Man Series. Along with a co-write with my granddaughter. In creating my Westerns, I wanted to do three things, be authentic, create likable characters, and tell a good story. With a lot of hard work and prayer, my books have been well received, so, I must be doing something right. I live with my wife of fifty-three years and our cat Moxie on Rattlesnake Ridge. We are lucky that our children, grandchildren, and great-grandson all live close by. When I'm not writing, I enjoy woodcarving, fishing, and pampering my classic Jaguar. I donate a portion of the profits from my books to Veteran charities, including the Veteran’s Independence Project.
