Violent storms are common in the Midwest. The one described here actually happened outside a little town I was staying in almost 20 years ago. It sounded like a train, the tornado axiom, if you will, but the straight-line winds cleared a windrow to stumps and killed several cattle (and I'm sure a lot of other critters). Friday I was in the shower, during a storm, when my muse spoke to me, and yes, when I looked out back, she was sitting on our boat.

This is a violent story of the far West, when the far West was the Alabama Territory. Join Johnny Quartermaine and his friends as they struggle to survive during the Creek Indian War of 1813-1814. The Creeks were laying waste to the White settlers west of the Chattahoochee River. Johnny, his wife and family, and his friends try to live the normal lives of Western settlers, but the "Redsticks" won't let them. Look up the "Redsticks" if you don't believe that they really existed.
The only story I managed to write over the summer break. See my blog for updates on why. Sorry, no sex in this one. As the owner of a minivan and the recepient of the perceptions involved on the occasions I'm forced to drive it, just had to get this one out.
Joe McSwain, 12 years old, and his two sisters/wives travel from South Carolina to settle in the far West of 1813. They come to rest in South Alabama and start a farm and a business raising war dogs. They fight Indians, British invaders, local slavers, and empire builders, but they live and prosper as Joe accumulates more wives. The McSwain household grows to be a force in the lives of everyone in this part of Alabama. Join them as Joe and his dogs force civilization onto the savage country.
Joseph Bell, an Army close-quarters fighting instructor suddenly finds himself in the middle of a war: King Philip's War in 1675 in Western Massachusetts. Join him as he tries to cope with Puritans and hostile Indians. He has nothing to offer but his skill, his training, and his guts as he faces battle after battle, mostly with Indians. This was the worst Indian war ever fought, both in lives lost and property damage. Just keep your head down and your tomahawk handy!
