PACHE WINTER, book 3 in the APACHE WARRIOR TRILOGY, describes the sad, closing chapters in the life of the Chiricahuas. It is the end of the wild and free Apache. In 1870, a former army scout, prospector, and rancher, Tom Jeffords, comes to Tucson. For ten years no white man has seen Cochise and lived to tell about it. Disgusted with the conflict and the destruction and loss of so much life and property, Jeffords decides to go see Cochise, personally, alone.

Tom Jefford’s meeting is a real historical event and after reading several accounts of it, I have written it the way I’d like to think it went. It changed the course of history. General Oliver O. Howard was able to secure an honorable peace from President Grant for the Chiricahuas. A plan to have their own land back and their own Apache police force to keep order instead of having the U. S. Army govern them. Tom Jeffords actually did become the first Indian Agent on Cochise’s reservation, as Cochise would have no other.

Follow the continuation of a love that refuses to die in APACHE PROMISE. Amanda Carroll, the Baltimore belle, and Kayto, the Chiricahua Apache warrior try to live through the nightmare that has become Cochise's eleven-year-long War of Revenge to rid his homeland of all Whites and Mexicans.

With the war raging, Amanda must choose between staying in the Stronghold or reuniting with her sister and uncle in Tucson. Soon events make it too dangerous to stay. Her heart breaks at the thought of leaving Kayto, but she cannot countenance the fact that he is killing her people and knows it will eventually destroy their love. She realizes she must leave Kayto but longs for the day the war will end and they can be together again.

A dark secret from his past could destroy Candice’s love for him.
