NEW! THE GUNS OF JAKE YOUNGBLOOD - A Youngblood Novel
In 1869, soon after his 20th birthday, Jake Youngblood became the richest orphan in the Commonwealth of Virginia, inheriting the state’s largest horse ranch. He had lost his father, killed in a St. Louis bank robbery, and soon after, lost his mother to typhoid fever, sending Jake into a deep depression that took over a year to pull out of. What remained was a smoldering anger that drove him to vow vengeance for his father’s death.
Jake had two pistols custom made by Virginia’s finest gunsmith and a double holstered gun belt crafted by a well-known leathersmith. He honed his skills with his guns daily, practicing with both hands, until he was deadly accurate and extremely fast on the draw. Then Jake took his black Arabian stallion, Midnight, and headed west seeking his father’s killer.
Along the way he made friends with a Louisiana prospector, a veteran wagon master leading a large wagon train to California, a rich rancher’s son, and two women who would play a significant role in Jake’s time away from Virginia. One, the beautiful, headstrong, Annabelle Brown, was intent on making Jake her husband. The other, the saloon-smart and equally beautiful barmaid Molly O’Malley, was seemingly only interested in Jake’s friendship.
How this unusual love triangle plays out, as Jake seeks his revenge, is the heart of Jake’s story.
April Lake is missing. When Donald Youngblood is persuaded by a desperate mother to look for her missing daughter, little does Youngblood know that the trail of an apparent runaway will lead him into the dark and sinister world of human trafficking, facilitated by a criminal organization known as The Cajun Circle.
To make matters worse Youngblood is racing the clock; trying to find the teenager before she is swallowed whole by a business so evil that it will consume her to the point of no return.
With the aid of a small-town police detective, an FBI ally known only as Wolf, and ex-CIA agent Henry Cole, Youngblood uses all the resources at his disposal to bring April Lake home.
From a small town in Alabama, to the bright lights of New Orleans, to the luxurious decadence of Cancun, Youngblood follows a trail of greed and deviant behavior to extract the ultimate revenge and save a girl from a life of sexual slavery.
Having dodged more than one bullet in his last bold adventure, Donald Youngblood does not find his next mystery wrapped in a big case, but rather in a mysterious stranger. Thanksgiving has recently passed and Christmas is fast approaching. A chance encounter with a very unusual young man at a local biker bar leads Youngblood on a road of discovery. Who is this stranger in town? He seems to be the source of all kinds of positive, unique and unexplainable occurrences in Mountain Center, but is he too good to be true? Youngblood is obsessed to find out.
From a small town in North Carolina to a return trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico, the facts that Youngblood uncovers about Mountain Center's new visitor make less and less sense. But in uncovering the identify of this seemingly spirit filled man, Youngblood and his wife Mary discover the true meaning of Christmas and awaken a long-lost and forgotten faith.
At the behest of the President of the United States, Donald Youngblood, private investigator and FBI consultant, finds himself thrown into his most dangerous mission yet.
Top secret, highly encrypted, government files are missing with information that could put American lives at risk and set the spy game back years. The stolen files are believed to be on the market for sale to the highest bidder. All the evidence points to the files having been stolen by a retired CIA agent.
The President, fearing a mole inside the White House, enlists outsider Youngblood to track down the agent and bring back the files before the encryption can be broken. Youngblood puts together a team of trained and experienced friends and heads out of the country only to discover the files are not where the President thought they were.
Racing against the clock is nothing new for Youngblood, but in chasing the files halfway around the world, he encounters more than one major setback and continuous danger at every turn.
After his adventure in Afghanistan, East Tennessee private investigator and FBI consultant, Donald Youngblood just wanted to relax and heal. Boredom is fast setting in when Mountain Center Country Club golf pro, Tony Price, asks Don to sponsor him in his attempt to qualify for the PGA National tournament; an arduous two tournament process played months apart. Tony also wants Youngblood's adopted daughter, Lacy, to caddy for him. Youngblood agrees, as does Lacy, and so begins a journey that could end up at one of golf's four major championships.
As fate would have it, Youngblood soon gets involved with a local congressman running for the U.S. Senate who has received a blackmail threat about a sex video that was made when he was in college. While Youngblood finds out if the threat is real or a bluff, a wealthy mother wants Youngblood to locate her daughter, who may, also, be involved in the blackmail plot.
In the meantime, halfway around the world, a professional sniper practices for a revenge kill. Who is his target? How does Donald Youngblood fit in?
With the aid of old friends and a talent for finding trouble at every turn, Youngblood must solve more than one mystery, and either one of them might get him killed.
