Historical Fiction
Stories of ambition, loyalty, and the long road between memory and myth.
Begin Here
Before the novels, there was a short piece.It became the foundation for everything that followed.
I grew up in Speedway, Indiana during the golden age of American racing.
For decades I listened to stories from a Texas trucker who once raced at Indianapolis — stories about oil fields, ambition, risk, marriage, and the kind of confidence that built a generation.
Eventually, I decided to write them down.
No, The Horse
(Don’t Worry, I Won’t Shoot You)
A Texas trucking family.
A marriage tested by ambition.
A man chasing the Indianapolis 500 in the golden age of racing.
Historical fiction grounded in real oil fields, real engines, and real risk.

Oil shocks and economic storms.
A family tested by growth.
Power. Expansion. Consequences.
