Border Style
150 miles of the US/Mexican Border and two dozen men to guard it. Today's newspaper or history. 1915, a border war in the making as the Texas Rangers guard the border against flying raids of bandits taking advantage of a country with little government.
One ranger caught across the border wages a war of nerves & plots to protect his family, stop all out war between the two countries and survive with a price on his head. Excitement from the first word keeps the reader's eyes glued to the page.
Excitement again for lovers of western fiction, this one by a true Texan rings with authenticity and an intimate knowledge of this little known period of western development.
We are looking forward to the second installment of the Border Trilogy.
Nash Black, author of TRAVELERS and SINS OF THE FATHERS.

Review of the Border Series: First Book- Guns Across the Rio
I really enjoyed the fast-paced historical fiction based on the men who founded the Texas Rangers- and their fight to keep Texas safe from the bandit raiders of Mexico. Dac Crossley uses his knowledge and memories of his childhood in Texas to carefully plot out this intriguing story of the men who became the Texas Rangers. The characters are well developed; the timeline and historical concepts are carefully researched and appropriate to the story. The reader finds himself immersed in the sights, sounds and smells of old Texas.This is book One in the Border Series, I can't wait for book 2.

excitingly historical
This is a captivating story with lovable characters. There is just the right amount of excitement, historical reference and Spanish language smattered throughout to make this book authentic and informative but easy and pleasant reading. I am anxious to see more from this author.
