Our Series of Books

Our series of books will take you on adventures through some of Texas' most famous criminals' exploits and their backgrounds through the end of their lives in an attempt to Connect the Dots.  The books were written by a retired Texas lawman through a lens that is a little different than most others, presenting little known facts and details, many of which are not common knowledge.  

The first book in the series delves into the lives and deaths of perhaps one of the most famous of Texas criminals, connecting the dots of their careers.  Bonnie and Clyde!  The book should be available in late fall or early winter.  For now, we have T-Shirts (long sleeve and short sleeve), Hoodies, Coffee Mugs, Tumblers, and Tote Bags to become part of the Connecting the Dots experience.  

Connecting the Dots: Bonnie and Clyde can be ordered through Amazon Books and Kindle Store.  When searching for the book, include the entire title and you will find it much easier.

Merchandise is offered as well with the Bonnie and Clyde graphic

The second book in the series will address the ambush of Lawmen Ben Thompson and John King Fisher in San Antonio, Texas in 1884.  Pictured to the left is John King Fisher, who was likely a man in the wrong place at the wrong time as the main target was Thompson. Again, we will be Connecting the Dots as we trace what happened, why it happened, and how it affected the towns of San Antonio and Austin.  Look out for egos, guns, and coverups!

Merchandise is offered as well with the Vaudeville Theater Ambush graphic.

The third book in the series will be a sequel to the original Bonnie and Clyde. There will be more photos, more accounts, more of the items not in the original.  There will be more characters introduced with hopefully more personal reflections.  Expect it out around the end of 2026.

The third book in the series will tell the stories of an unsuccessful bank robbery in Cisco, Texas on December 23, 1927.  Three well liked lawmen were killed by the four robbers. Three of the four paid with their lives. The fourth lived to serve his prison sentence.  Everything that could go wrong for the outlaws went wrong.  

Merchandise specific to this book will be offered as well in the near future.

I want to announce the opening of a store front in Livingston, Texas.  It will be in the Main St. Merchandise building at 312 N, Washington St, adjacent to the Whistle Stop Cafe.  There is also an ample parking area in the rear of the store for all of those with difficulty in parallel parking (like me).  It is located across Washington St. from the Old Courthouse and Town Square.  It will contain T- Shirts (long and short sleeve), sweatshirts, hoodies, Coffee Mugs, Wooden bookmarks and books for sale.  There is also an area explaining Operation Blue Remembrance, a 501 (c) 3 Non Profit Organization as all profits go to that cause which photos of Texas officers killed in the line of duty are rotated regularly.  Feel free to browse the interesting items in the rest of the store as well as grab a bite to eat at the Whistle Stop.  Wonderful food with an old-fashioned selection of breakfast, lunch, and supper items, reasonably priced.
