Deadly Secrets (An Indian Creek Texas Mystery) Review



Previously published as Anna's Secret

Kelly McWinter is a former Fort Worth police officer who suffered a personal tragedy that caused him to quit the force and isolate himself in the community of Indian Creek, Texas. Kelly is the Clint Eastwood, John Wayne type of man who makes everyone feel safe.  The characters at Indian Creek are so unique and eccentric that readers and reviewers alike have fallen in love with the regulars who frequent Cam Belcher's Hideaway Bar and Barbecue.

Tammy from Fallen Angel reviews described the Indian Creek Texas mysteries as "A fabulous mixture of Texas humor, heart-pounding action, sexy nuances and mounting suspense. There's plenty of excitement, plenty of intrigue, a local flavor to tickle the toughest of taste buds and a good serving of hot, steamy romance to titillate the senses."

Slow Cooking Indian Curry Recipes (Slow Cooker Library)

Slow Cooking Indian Curry Recipes (Slow Cooker Library) Review



This will make not going out a positive pleasure

At the end of a long day there can be little better than to return home to a ready cooked Korma or Madras with rice or warm Naan breads. The best Indian cookery has always been very slow-cooked. If there was ever a perfect culinary marriage for its recipes, it must be the slow cooker. Slow cooking these recipes develops the flavours. The spices release their essential oils to produce the subtle depths that we so enjoy in restaurants. Of course, the recipes here include some based on pastes to keep your preparation times short. But you will also be introduced to great recipes using fresh spice mixes to blend yourself – and learn to re-blend to your own taste.

Like curry? This makes not going out a positive pleasure!

Kidnapped and Sold By Indians -- True Story of a 7-Year-Old Settler Child (Annotated and Illustrated) (First_Hand Account Of Being Kidnapped By Indians)

Kidnapped and Sold By Indians -- True Story of a 7-Year-Old Settler Child (Annotated and Illustrated) (First_Hand Account Of Being Kidnapped By Indians) Review



• This newly revised edition includes annotations and content about another child kidnapped by Indians who went on to give birth to the last Comanche chief.

• It also includes 12 dynamic historical photographs from the National Archives depicting the numerous tribes Mathew Brayton lived among and fought with.

This first-hand narrative of the life of Matthew Brayton, a seven-and-a-half year old white child of a settler who was kidnapped and sold many times by Native Americans in the beginning of the 19th century, probably doesn’t share all the gory details of his abuse when initially captured, but you can read between the lines. Still, this first-hand account does shed much light on what it was really like to come under the charge of many different Indian tribes.

Although Brayton’s treatment was not entirely negative or positive, his frank and blunt story does much to dispel the romantic stories that have been perpetuated about young settlers’ children who became Indian chattel. It does much to tell true history and dispel any deliberate or accidental revisions.

In many cases the Indians treated Brayton well, but there can be no doubt that they stole from him and his family a life that would end up confused and stuck between two worlds. Although Brayton did finally unite with many of his natural family, he never stopped identifying with Native Americans, and he was forced to leave an Indian wife and child behind. In fact, when the War of Rebellion or Civil War broke out, Brayton enlisted and served in an American Indian brigade.
