Stories From the Sheriff’s Daughter is a beautifully written short novel that follows the life of a nine-year-old girl who moves to a small-town Texas county jail when her dairy farmer father is elected sheriff. In these engaging episodes, sometimes funny, sometimes tragic, days in small-town Texas in the 1950s and 60s spring to life. The family’s house is only separated from the jail by a carport, so the sheriff’s daughter grows up in the jail’s environment of lawmen, prisoners, and politics. She bumps up against some of life’s worst tragedies, including murder, rape, and suicide, despite her parents’ attempts to protect her innocence. In this very different coming-of-age story, the sheriff’s daughter moves into adulthood, trying to find her own identity, her life forever affected by growing up next door to a county jail. Though the stories in the novel are fiction, the author actually did grow up at the Burleson County jail in Texas, where her father, and eventually her mother, served as sheriffs of the county.

CODE OF HONOR Dr. Logan Hart was just passing through Black Horse Beach, but when gunshots sent country veterinarian Samantha Blackwell ducking for cover beneath his rockhard body, she instinctively knew that the macho medical investigator would stick around to keep her safe. Although the sheriff’s daughter had sworn to never fall for another tough guy again, her new tenant’s smoldering intensity lit a raging fire in her heart…and kept the terror at bay. As they set up a sting operation to take down the revenge-seeking criminal who was clearly trying to get to Logan through Samantha, chilling new evidence came to light. Now Samantha wondered who the real target was—and whether she would stay alive long enough to succumb to the boldly seductive man she’d been saving all her love for!

When he learns of her plan, Liam is sure she's headed for it—lock, stock, and barrel. Foster kids are messed up. Broken. Trouble. He ought to know since he was one. There's no talking sense into Carly, and soon Liam finds himself dragged into the chaos and falling for her despite knowing better. She’s a softie, in for a hard fall because those kids aren't hers to keep.

Before Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields on Netflix, there was The Sheriff's Son - a potential suspect for the League City murders. This true story begins on Valentine's Day, 1961. 14 years old, Claudette Carolyn Covey went missing from Hondo, Texas. On Halloween evening, 1961, Claudette's remains were discovered eight miles from town in a field. She had been shot twice in the head. From the beginning, town folks believed that she was murdered by the corrupt sheriff or his 18-year-old son, whom she was dating. Because of the corrupt sheriff's influence, no one was ever charged with the murder. The story follows the life of the sheriff's son from 1961 to his death in 1998. The son was on the edges of many similar murders of young girls in the Houston and Galveston areas-but he was never charged. After 1961, the sheriff's son was arrested twice for the rape of 12-year-old girls, essentially walking away from these charges due to the connections of his father. After the deaths of the father and son, former wives and step children, no longer terrified-came forward. They tell a horrific story of brutality, rape, incest and murder at the hands of the son. Our novel connects the dots and makes the case that a serial killer went to his grave never charged with his many crimes against young women.

Firelands County, Colorado, knew their new Sheriff was a Marine, a Gulf War veteran, and was recently graduated from college; they sent their chief deputy to pick up Sheriff Will Keller from the airport. Firelands County, Colorado, did not know their Sheriff would arrive in a tailored, dark-blue suit dress, and high heels. In the Sheriff's first half-hour in-county,she uses a shotgun to stop a barfight, slams a drunk face-first into the painted plasterboard, arrests the Mayor and tells the Board of County Commissioners which of them is an adulterer, with whom and how many times; which of them is a gambler, how much he has lost at the tracks, and at which track; she lets them know in no uncertain terms exactly where they can get off, and proceeds to run her department as she pleases. The Sheriff is here to do a job, and she doesn't fight fair. And she doesn't -- whether it's drug traffickers, a crooked prosecutor, a fiancee or getting justice, Sheriff Willamina Keller gets what she wants. Peacefully, or otherwise. She doesn't care which.
