SAVAGE HORIZONS, Book One of the BLUE HAWK SAGA (ISBN 1-58348-548-1):

       Before the white man walked the land, it belonged to the Sioux, Cheyenne, and Chippewa. But as trappers and pioneers pushed West, the days of innocence ended--and the nights of blood began. Left behind as a legacy of passion and shame was the White Indian called Blue Hawk by his Cheyenne people...and Caleb Sax by the settler who rescued him and raised him as his own child.

       A wildness raged in this half-Indian boy--and a heritage of courage. As white folk and red battled for the untamed frontier, he would become a man torn between two worlds; a man destined for the forbidden desire of a beautiful woman--and a fight for freedom and love.

       SAVAGE HORIZONS takes place from the late 1700's through 1832, that growing time in America that was the beginning of the end for the American Indian, a time when the western border along the Missouri River bulged at the seams, son to give way, spilling emigrants onto the prairies and over the Rockies in search of intangible dreams, shouts of "Manifest Destiny" on their lips. Some even went into Mexican territory to a place called Texas. This is the story of the growth of the nation--and of the people who made it strong, people like:

• Blue Hawk. Born to a Cheyenne woman and raised with the Indians until tragedy swept him into the white man's world, he was Caleb Sax--a hero in war, a legend on the frontier, a man about to risk everything for love.

• Sarah. As firey as her Irish heritage, she pledged herself to a man whe was forbidden to touch--and was sent away to marry another in shame.

• Walking Grass. A darkly sensuous Indian maiden, she would belong to the brave courageous enough to undergo the Sun Dance ritual for her hand.

• Emily. The beautiful daughter of a fanatical preacher, she wanted a man who was heathen, wanton, shocking, and magnificenlty male.

• Byron Clawson. The degenerate son of a rich family, he desired a beautiful woman to advance his ambitions--even if he had to win her by treachery and violence.

FRONTIER FIRES, Book Two of the BLUE HAWK SAGA (ISBN 1-58348-549-X):

       TEXAS--it was where Caleb Sax, the half-Indian many knew as Blue Hawk, dared to love a white woman, take her for his own, and with her raise a dynasty in a territory torn by conflict.

       TEXAS--where the Sax clan would fight the land-hungry newcomers and Comanc

hes who strove to uproot them; where war with Mexico for a free republic would pit the Sax clan against an army thousands strong.

       TEXAS--where a bold new generation is born: Caleb's exotically beautiful daughter Lynda, a woman who shares his half-breed blood and reckless passions,who gives her heart to a man, but vows he will never conquer her spirit; and Tom, Caleb's Cheyenne son, a man willing to fight--and die--for his land and the white woman he longs to call his own. Children of a proud past, all would ride a tempest of glory and desire for their country's future--and for their love.

       FRONTIER FIRES is the continuing story of Caleb and Sarah Sax and their children, based on major historical events in what is now the state of Texas during the years 1833 - 1842:

• Caleb. In his heart, he was soft and loving. But the world had forced him to survive by the brute power of his bare hands. For trouble has a way of following a half breed...

• Sarah. Nothing could compare to making love with the man she treasured beyond all things, a man who had been her friend in childhood, her lover in their youth.

• Lynda. The daughter of the half-breed Caleb and his firey-haired bride, she had a savage beauty that stirred the needs in a man seldom satisfied in such a desolate land. Two men loved her, a Cherokee and a cowboy, but could either tame her wild spirit?

• Tom. Every inch the son of the proud Caleb Sax, he went through hell to win the woman he loved, and to defend young Texas against the Mexicans...but could either desire quench the fires that raged within this child of the Cheyenne?
