Overview

Welcome to the first book in the "Will Austin Adventure" Series!

1884 in Northern Mexico. Two kids are gathering corn on their family's 500 acre ranch. Suddenly, several shots ring out! They crawl to where they heard the shots come from and find a campsite with five dead men. After checking closer, they discover one of the men, an American, is still alive, but barely!

Born and raised in Boston in the middle of the Nineteenth Century, Will Austin leads a life of adventure and passion. He survives the death of both his parents at a very young age, and the cold blooded killing of his best friend, Boyd. As a young man, he makes the long and difficult journey to Austin, Texas, to chase his dream of becoming a Texas Ranger. Instead, he finds himself in the middle of the biggest case of the century: catching the ruthless and murdering Gomez Gang from the depths of lawless Mexico!

Join Will in his fight for justice in the small, but growing, border town of Roma, Texas. How far will he go to hunt down the Gomez Gang and their brutal leader, Pedro, and what toll does it take on his friendships, marriage and body as he stumbles to the edge of his sanity?

About the Author

About The Author
Jackie was born and raised in San Francisco, the most beautiful city in the world, in her opinion. She attended St. Rose Academy High School, now closed due to damage from the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. After graduation, she attended San Francisco State University, City College of San Francisco and Santa Rosa Junior College, taking a variety of writing, business, computer, veterinary and art and design classes.

Jackie has been a lifelong reader of all kinds of books, both fiction and nonfiction. One of her favorite authors is James Michener because she loves how he weaves together fictional characters with real and historical places. She finds his books to be a wonderful way to learn about history throughout the world. She thinks his books teach us about so many things that are never covered in history classes.

In addition to writing, Jackie runs a business as a professional pet detective, and, with the use of a trained tracking dog, they help people find their lost pets. The website is: www.thesocialpet.com

She also actively competes with adopted mixed breeds in a variety of dog sports throughout the West Coast.
