    A Western adventure rooted in truth, forged in mystery. 
    The Black Hills stood untouched, unclaimed, and full of secrets when Ezra Kind carved his fate into a slab of sandstone. What began as a search for gold quickly turned into a desperate fight for survival — and a message that would echo through generations. 
    Decades later, as new settlers and fortune-seekers flood the Dakota Territory, two brothers uncover the half-buried stone and find themselves pulled into the mystery it holds. In a land where fact and folklore blur, where hope is weighed against hardship, the Kind family’s legacy stirs once again. 
    Based on real events and inspired by the legend of the Thoen Stone, The Kind Whisper launches The Kind Legacy Series — a sweeping historical Western filled with frontier grit, hidden truths, and the powerful ties of family. Along the way, it crosses paths with some of the West’s most iconic figures—including General George Custer, Wild Bill Hickok, and Calamity Jane. 
    Some treasures are buried in the earth. Others are buried in the heart. 
    Some whispers echo through time. 
    This is one of them.

    American Whoreson. At 47k words, it reads quickly and is suitable for teens and older. While it contains no sex and only minimal violence, it does have politically sensitive subject matter. Therefore, it is not suitable for Trumpists or Evangelicals. 
    America in the late 1800s was a place where a young man with drive and intelligence could rise above class to attain power and wealth. Even someone born near the bottom of society’s social ladder could climb past those born higher on the ladder to achieve greatness. Armed only with his intelligence, aggressive personality, and fists, the bastard son of a whore grows up in a town dominated by cotton mills to find his place in America’s westward-looking Manifest Destiny. 
    The bastard son of a whore working in a small town dominated by cotton mills, Tobias is tossed out on his own at the age of twelve when his mother is shot by rival clients who also die in the exchange. Even though he witnesses her death, he is too occupied with his survival to spend much time grieving. The death of one of the men responsible for his mother’s death creates a job opening for Tobias at the mill, and Tobias jumps into the opportunity to secure his future, at least for now. 
    Two years later, Tobias escapes the mill as it burns down. He rides a short train of boxcars full of finished fabric away from the burning mill to safety. A locomotive collects the boxcars and deposits them in a railyard near the port of Norfolk. He escapes the yard and takes refuge in an abandoned boxcar. While there, he comforts a pregnant negro girl about to give birth and helps inter her body when she dies in childbirth. 
    He is transferred as a civilian contractor assigned to the Quartermaster Corps at Fort Meade, near Sturgis, South Dakota. While there, he witnesses what happens to people who stand in the way of America’s Manifest Destiny.

    For thousands of years two distinct cultures evolved unaware of one another's existence. Separated by what one culture called The Great Sea and known to the other as the Atlantic Ocean, the course of each culture's future changed irreversibly four hundred years ago. In 1620 the Mayflower delivered 102 refugees and fortune seekers from England to Cape Cod, where these two cultures first encountered one another. The English sought religious freedom and fresh financial opportunities. The Natives were recovering from the Great Dying of the past several years that left over two-thirds of their people in graves. How would they react to one another? How might their experience shape modern cross-cultural encounters?

    An immersive, historical novel based on true events: In 1938, Orson Welles’s legendary radio dramatization of H.G. Wells’s novel The War of the Worlds terrified Americans into believing Martians were invading. Eleven years later, an Ecuadorian radio station adapted the show—with catastrophic consequences. Now, two young journalists are determined to uncover what really happened to their families that night—even as secrets endanger their future. 
      
    1957: Aspiring photojournalist Valeria Anzures returns to her hometown of Quito with a secret purpose: to discover the truth about how her parents really died. The disastrous 1949 War of the Worlds show caused a mob to torch her family's radio station—and the newspaper run by their closest friends, the Monteros. The tragedy shattered the families’ relationship—and left the station on precarious financial ground. Now, expected to save her family’s legacy through an arranged marriage, Valeria will risk everything to find out the truth. Even if it means allying with the man she's always loved—but who now treats her like a stranger. 
      
    For Matías Montero, the scars of that night run deep. He saved his mother but blames himself for not rescuing his father. As a journalist, he views Valeria as a rival. Still, they’re both on the same mission. Perhaps, together, they can unearth the past their families and friends would rather remain buried. 
      
    Valeria and Matías soon find trusting each other is as dangerous as the attraction they can't resist. Between their families’ mutual hatred, duplicitous witnesses, insidious lies, and ruthless manipulations, exposing the real story will put their future on the line—and ignite revelations no one saw coming.
