The Dicksions

Hard times have hit Troy Dean Talbert’s family in Oklahoma. His father Tom has been losing his crops to drought. When the bank forecloses on their farm, Tom is forced to move his family to California. However, an incident occurs that allows Troy to graduate from high school and not have to move west with his family. He hopes to marry his sweetheart but instead she marries someone else. He is devastated, joins England’s Royal Air Force, and becomes a war hero.

When Troy is badly wounded, he is ordered to recuperate at Lady Ashley Wakley’s castle. Here he finds love and prospers. But Lady Ashley soon finds other diversions and leaves him, which plunges Troy into self-doubt again. His doctor tells him that he should return to where the trouble started; in order to find himself, he must go to where he lost his confidence. So he goes back to Oklahoma . . . .

The Entwining Circle follows Troy, who regains his confidence and also helps his family, who were caught in a cycle of tragic events: drought, war and greed. Troy finally realizes that his true home is in England with Ashley.

A new historical novel set in 18th-century America. The harrowing tale of a young, indentured Irish immigrant.

It’s 1885 and famine has struck Ireland. Fifteen-year-old Egan is about to be flogged for stealing a few potatoes from the Earl’s land where his family live as serfs. His parents spirit him away to a sea captain who deals in indentured servants. And so, Egan’s journey from Ireland to the American colonies begins.

About half of the white immigrants to the American colonies in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were indentured, a practice that endured, albeit on in a smaller scale, well into the nineteenth century. Egan’s Journey is the story of a boy who leaves his home in Ireland under threat of death for scavenging food for his starving siblings. Could America be his salvation? Egan’s knowledge of America was limited to stories he had heard about a place where people lived free, and land could be had by anyone willing to suffer through seven years as an indentured servant. Egan agrees to those terms and learns that the land you earn must be fought for.

In this engrossing sequel to A Button in the Fabric of Time, a 21st century engineer travels into the 31st century. There he meets and marries a beautiful woman, and together they work to produce a heaven on earth where people never grow old and live far into the future, in a world free from want and pain. The land, air, and water are clean and pure. To save the land for productive use, people live in cities of glass floating on the ocean. Each city contains 40 levels, and people travel in transportation devices at the speed of thought. Robots do the work, but people supervise the robots. The engineer and his wife help bring people who have already died into the future to populate other planets. In the 31st century, people age, but don’t grow old; therefore, everyone is beautiful and looks 25.
