Ken, first let me say that I am especially grateful to Harris Wood for sharing and introducing you and your novel series to me. Secondly, I Love your first novel ~ it's a DElightful read~ and now, I'm addicted!

I've begun to read the second novel in your series! You beautifully orchestrated that 1st novel. You Very masterfully & sympathetically intertwined the multicultural, Americana historical events of Texas in that era ~ doing it in a fictional, entertaining manner; and then brilliantly portrayed the characters & tenacity of men such as your great-great grandfather who bravely & courageously made the voyage to America in the pursuit of freedom.

Your characters realistically showcased an action packed life of overcoming & conquering language barriers, a new culture with monumental hardships and challenges for survival in the pioneer life days ~ and doing all that successfully with grit & determination and 'by the help of God who bestowed many blessings on him' each new day!

The lessons of life that Heinrich (Henry) learned along the way, from Martin to Zeke to Virgil, to the "Injun" Chief ~ Priceless! I Love IT! And rest assured, I will be sharing your novels with some of my friends from Texas and living here in Anchorage.

In closing on the subject, I particularly take heart & think We of ALL ages and eras in history can relate to the following paragraph ~ when you wrote:

"Henry again studied the beautiful night sky. 'There must be well over a billion stars up there. Maybe even a Kazellion if there is such a thing, God, I am only a human being; I can't fully understand you or your might, but You are an awesome God. That I know. I am in awe of You and Your creation. Your Ways are not my ways, and Your thoughts are not my thoughts,
and I can only go by what I know and what I understand ~and I know that I choose to worship You, for You Alone are worthy.' "

Read the first two books and look forward to the ongoing saga in book 3. Ken, you have tapped into something that is uniquely Texan. Every native-born Texan would like to believe their ancestors were involved with the Texas Rangers. Non-Texans cannot grasp this concept. Please give me your address again so I can send you a check for $16. Thanking you in advance. . -- W. Bates Churchill

Ken:

Almost through book 1, and have found it so far to be great! A lot of history about Texas, I didn't know. Your Henry is informative and funny in his dry way! We stayed down at New Braunfels in '06, and remember some of the historical aspects of it.

I am very impressed with your writing ability!
