My next novel is on the way. Here is a taste.
Alone, Jonathan Thomas buries his family along
the Oregon Trail. In Twisted Cross Jonathan encounters
hopeful emigrants and abused Indians facing a plague of cholera. The
hardships of life on the frontier are intensified by encounters with scurrilous
opportunists and profiteers with murderous intent. Victimized and stalked,
Jonathan struggles to survive. Potawatomi Indians who own the trading posts,
ferries, and sawmills at Uniontown give him work, and Clara, a French
half-breed girl living in both worlds, gives him reason to return. He
earns a living with the Army on the Oregon Trail and with missionaries building
Indian missions on the Santa Fe Trail all the while haunted and hunted by those
who would kill him.
