(This is an adult novel.) In the 1860’s, there was a sweet, little, blue-eyed girl who lived in the mountains of Texas on the border of Mexico. She had a brother named Kyle who she loved more than life. Nobody knew for sure what had happened to her, but one day when she was only six years old, she disappeared. She reappeared when she was a teenager in a town called Ojinaga across the border in Chihuahua, Mexico. Her name was Sissy, but for a while in Mexico, she was known as El Diablo.

James Butler grew up in Texas during the depression era in a city with heavy Mafia influence. People were living on food stamps and coupons.

He's not your average writer. He believes in getting on with it. His view is: Everyone knows the sky is blue and the grass is green, so why waste time explaining it?

In 1957, he dropped out of college and joined the Marine Corps. He was a combat engineer, that is, land mines and demolition. He then participated in the largest atomic bomb test ever conducted in the United States.

After the Marines, he married and traveled abroad. His wife of 54 years is his main critic. Charles Darwin and Ayn Rand are his favorite authors.

James Butler has been self-employed for most of his working life. He was in construction, cabinet and boat building and a little farming. He has seen life from many viewpoints. He has always been a writer, but never tried to publish his work until Amazon Kindle was brought to his attention. He didn't start writing for publication until well into his seventies. He and his wife live in seclusion in the mountains. He writes, she edits and they feed the wild animals. His books have been published in six languages.

(The author passed away on December 23, 2016. He is intensely missed by his wife.)

3.0 out of 5 stars Had Possibilities

This story starts out with great possibilities, then it seems to end up as an outline for a novel that was never finished.
The basic story line is there, but it needs to be filled out and made into a real book. Why was the author in such a hurry? Where's all the detail? Where's the show, don't tell?. Where's the use the five senses to bring your story and characters alive?
