Brasada By Don Johnson Brasada - Hardcover. This is a first edition book by author Don Johnson and is a NEW COLLECTIBLE!

A brief synopsis: In the latter days of the Civil War, the lifeline of the Confederacy became two thin marks on the Texas prairie left by hundreds of wagon trains loaded with cotton. They were headed for the hungry looms of Europe and New England by way of Mexico and ships of neutral registry immune to the federal blockade. The promise of easy, bountiful and devious profit brought together a strange mixture of Rebels, Yankees, Mexicans and Europeans who gathered in Matamoros, Mexico — Baghdad on the Gulf to exploit this trade in white gold. This cotton, traded for gold or hard foreign currency, kept the Confederacy solvent and enriched the diligent merchants of Matamoros as well as gangs of brigands from both sides of the Rio Grande. This is the story of survivors one of those wagon trains, decimated by Mexican bandits, who take refuge in the Brasada, a crescent of brushland wilderness between the Nueces and Rio Grande. It is here that Lance Morgan is determined to build an empire of land, cattle and horses. To do so, he must confront bandits, killers, and crooked carpetbaggers. George Gibson, a fellow trooper, normally is content to follow Lane’s lead but can have a hard head of his own when it involves right and wrong. Santiago, a vicious bandit chief, becomes a powerful force in the region and has sworn eternal hatred for Lance and his family, Mike, former Morgan family slave, adjusts to life as a free man, learning to make his own decisions, and teaching Lance that loyalty can be freely given but never forced. Arabela, beautiful and talented owner of a Mexican cantina, gives Lance his first taste of tender and passionate love. Scotty MacDuff, a Scottish emmigrant who fought with Sam Houston at San Jacinto, offers Lance and his friends sanctuary when it is a matter of life and death. Erin MacDuff, Scotty’s wife is a woman of culture and refinement with a backbone of steel who finds her pacifist sentiments sorely tested by the events of her time and place. Colleen MacDuff, pretty and vivacious daughter, has her own goals and priorities. Bain MacDuff, Colleen’s brother longs for adventure and a chance to serve his country whether it is in uniform or behind a badge. Stir these people together in a hard and unforgiving land, and they become a windstorm of action that sweeps across the BRASADA.

Thunder On Monastery Ridge - 1st Edition NEW NOVEL RELEASE! Thunder On Monastery Ridge by Fern Smith-Brown

Synopsis:

Young Daniel had been left in the care of the monks, and when he grew to manhood the brothers accepted him into their monastic society.

Rebecca, had been sent from the orphanage to work at The Willows, a property that bordered the grounds of the monastery.

One day while gathering wood in the forest, Rebecca meets Daniel . . .

And so ensues a tale of star crossed hearts whose forbidden love questions God and Daniel's religious teachings. Their destinies are as steadfastly entwined as the gnarled vines interwoven among the forest trees.

Listen. . . quietly descending on gossamer wings. . . This lyrical tale whispers to your heart and just as gently touches your soul.

Excerpt:
. . . a haunting, gossamer-winged ode
to love and tragedy.


Footsteps. Running footsteps hitting the forest floor urgently. Daniel listened, ears alert, and then he heard another set of footsteps falling heavily and the sound of a heavy form crashing into anything in its path as it lurched blindly through the dusky interior of the forest.
Daniel could hear the first set of footsteps coming closer, and he peered around the wide girth tree. Dear God in heaven! Rebecca! She ran wildly, her long night dress, clutched in her fists, and she ran as if all the demons of hell were at her heels.
With movements as silent as the doctrines of his ascetic life, he slipped through the camouflage of the darkened forest to a place where there was a grove of concealing trees. Standing erect behind an ancient oak, he waited. Within minutes, Rebecca was adjacent to him. Daniel reached out and pulled her from the path. She screamed once–-a tiny bubbling cry. He quickly stifled further sounds with a restraining hand. In the murkiness, her eyes focused on the brown, robe-clad figure. She sank against him, and he held her, shielding her from the eyes of the night and the man who chased her.
