In the third romance anthology of The Quill Collective series, 16 celebrated Austenesque authors write the untold histories of Austen’s heroines, brave adventuresses, shy maidens, talkative spinsters, and naughty matrons. Rational Creatures is a collection of humorous, poignant, and engaging short stories set in Georgian England that complement and pay homage to Austen’s great works and great ladies who were, perhaps, the first feminists in an era that was not quite ready for feminism.

Not many know of the Five Civilized Tribes involvement in the US Civil War. This story is the second of The Trail of Blood on Ice trilogy that is not intended to be a war story, but in order to tell of the characters life and times it must be presented in a war setting. Some of the characters are real as are their actions, but there are also fictionalized Indians, soldiers, lawmen, madams, and cowboys. I hope that you enjoy the listening as much as I have the writing.

Just before and at the beginning of the US Civil War, Indian territory was an untamed lawless place filled with Indians, outlaws teamsters, farms, towns folks, and houses of ill repute.
