The Brazos River meanders, rushes, and slides along through Texas as it makes its way from New Mexico to the Gulf of Mexico. Along the way it passes dry desert and verdant fields, isolated territory populated with only jack rabbits, tarantulas and coyotes, ranches, farms, small towns, big cities, rich, poor, sad, happy, whatever the human condition offers. The full name of the river is El Rio de los Brazos de Dios—The River of the Arms of God. It can protect life or take it away.

Tales From the Brazos is an ever growing series of stories that take place near the legendary river. Some will be humorous, others not-so-much. Each novel is a stand-alone story, although you may (or may not) meet characters from other books along the way. Those characters may appear only briefly, or they may play an important part. You can read the novels in any order; you won't miss anything important. I'll put the approximate year each one starts, but they don't have to be read chronologically. They are not written in order.  I write a book when a character stands up and waves his/her hands and yells, "Me! Tell my story next!"
