Book excerpt: In Deer Clearing Falls, readers take a spellbinding journey to apprehend three murderous brothers, before they can escape justice across the Mississippi River and disappear into the vast regions of the western territories. In a quiet town in Virginia, three men move silently, under the cover of darkness, into the backdoor of the county jailhouse and brutally beat the town constable. Enraged by this act of violent behavior in his town, Judge Callaway commissions wealthy plantation owner, John Thomas, to go after and arrest these villains. The victim is his lifelong friend. The culprit is his lifetime nemesis, Carl Johnson, who is the product of an abusive, drunken, moonshiner father whose answer to discipline was wielding a razor strap across his children’s backs. Enlisting the assistance of his brother, Jeremiah, and close friends, Nathan Smith, Eagle Dancer, and Bear Claws, John sets out to apprehend Carl Johnson and his brothers and bring them back for trial before they can strike again. As they charge towards their inevitable showdown, they must first ride through Deer Clearing Falls, an ancient mountain, whose breathtaking scenery captures their souls and forces them to face the realities of their innermost secrets.
