Desperate for her help, Horace Jackson has Shawna Kane's children kidnapped. Unfortunately for him, he didn't know the kind of fury he unleashed in her. In her anger, Shawna reveals one secret she had kept for ten years. A daughter, with the blood of Tomahawk running through her veins. But that was the least of Shawna's problems. The train her daughters were on was transporting gold. Tomahawk has nothing to lose. As leader of a gang of outlaws, he boldly robbed stagecoaches and trains. Taking any gold or money transfers they were carrying. His men didn't question why he gave equal shares of the loot. To be honest, they didn't care. Tomahawk did care, but not about the money or the men. Learning of his illness, he realized he cared about his children. And there was only one person he wanted to raise them. As instructed, alone or in groups, the children sired by Tomahawk began to make their way to the Shooter's Ranch. Furious at his boldness, Shawna tracks down Tom to save her oldest two. In her search for his hideout, an unexpected arrival brings out another secret. Her anger at Tomahawk dissolves when she finally catches him. A final promise to make his family complete, sends her on several adventures. The growing family didn't deter Horace Jackson from forcing work on Shawna. Only the endangerment of one of her household could make her don the badge again. A slick con man was stealing lady gamblers for a high stakes poker game. And it became Shawna's job to stop him. But not without the help of her tribe.

He’s lost everything. His girl. His job. His place in the universe. A security head for a casino in Reno just can’t afford to have a gambling problem. Life takes a turn from tragic to strange when Quinn finds himself on the doorsteps of a religious cult’s tower in the remote California hills.

When one of the cultists asks Quinn to check on a man named Patrick O’Gorman and slides a not so small amount of money in his jacket, well, that’s just the sort of hand Quinn has been looking for. Thing is, Quinn soon finds out, O’Gorman disappeared under bizarre circumstances several years ago. For reasons he doesn’t entirely understand, perhaps for the sake of having a purpose, Quinn begins a lurid quest to uncover the truth. What he finds out instead is that there are just as many crazies outside the walls of a cultist tower as there are inside.

A near-obsessive pursuit of ghost stories and odd superstitions cranks up this serious study of Appalachian tales of the supernatural and their origin in both old-world customs and real historical events. An effort to preserve and record one aspect of a dying way of life, the book relies on interviews and historic documents to search for the facts behind local lore of murder, witchcraft, and weird hauntings. Several campfire-worthy ghost stories are recounted in their entirety—including "The Swinging Gate of Fern Lake Hollow"—and an unexpectedly large number of stories about aliens and UFOs provide an interesting comparison of three-century-old mysteries and those stirred up in comparatively recent times
