The Round Mountain

Jim spent his summers exploring his grandfather's farm on the Round Mountain. This summer was different. Jim and his cousins make an important discovery and, in doing so, add a new twist to the storied history of Central Texas. The discovery may endanger their lives, but may also prove to be the richest find in the annals of Lone Star treasure hunting. Or maybe not. Follow the pages of The Round Mountain and discover the treasures of friendship, loyalty, and a good rope.

The Cabin at Mt. Bonnell

Growing up is hard enough, but what if your family might be involved in the most significant crime and cover-up in the history of Austin, Texas? Pete Dengar learns that making friends is tough; learning your true legacy can be even more complicated. Pete and his friends attempt to unravel an Austin mystery, navigate racial divides, and solve multiple decades-old murders, all while making plans for the next school dance.
It’s going to be a long semester.

The Princess of Coryell County

Jim had not seen Missy for more than thirty years, but after their reunion dinner, he knew his life would never be the same. In the process of rediscovering their love for each other, Jim and Missy uncover the mystery of the woman known only as the Princess of Coryell County. What they learn will transform not only their lives but also the history of the Round Mountain.
