This is the story of a group of young Texas Rangers who must "earn their spurs" while trying to stay alive on the dangerous and challenging Texas frontier. Prelude To Glory is the third book in a series about Leroy W. Wiley, a young Texas Ranger during the turbulent years before, during and after the American War Between The States. When not fighting the Comanche Indians or battling Mexican bandits, the Rangers had to deal with cattle rustlers operating across Texas from the Rio Grande to the Red River. The story concludes with an exciting chase across west Texas as the Rangers attempt to track down a band of marauding Lipan Apache Indians. The Rangers find themselves outnumbered in a fight to the death with an Apache war party.

Whispers of the South

When people think of a corporation they don't think of its board members, they think of its powerful, charismatic public face. For Starr Broadcasting, that leader was William F. Buckley, Jr., a bestselling writer and popular conservative commentator. The men behind him were Peter and Michael Starr, Buckley's protégés from childhood, the innovative creators and loyal heads of Starr Broadcasting, Buckley's cash cow. For a decade the Starr brothers worked faithfully to make the company profitable and an industry leader, until Buckley arranged their ousting for his own gain, a betrayal that Peter never recovered from. Decades after his brother's untimely death, Michael Starr breaks his silence to set the record straight. Part memoir, part history, and part personal profile, What a "Friend" We Had in Bill tells a story truly unknown until now.
