ONE TURN OF THE CARD
My novel is about Falls
County men fighting with Terry's Texas Rangers during the Civil War
A short synopsis:
Orphaned as an infant,
Austin Robinson was adopted by his uncle and given a new start in life in
pre-Civil War Falls County, Texas. After a youth filled with long days of
toil in the Texas sun, he is a successful cotton planter. His hard work is
sweetened by the joy of a happy marriage and a cherished new son, until
Brazos River flood levels his plantation and kills his family. In a drunken
depression he shoots down an unarmed man. Rescued by his uncle once again, he
is bailed out and sent to war to watch over Billy Jones, his uncle's
impetuous son. They join Terry's Texas Rangers, a Confederate cavalry
regiment, where Billy is elected lieutenant. Serving alongside famed leaders Nathan
B. Forrest and Joe Wheeler, can Austin keep Billy and himself alive in the
losing battle against the threats of disease, starvation, the elements and
the overwhelming Union forces?
