Spring House, the first book of the series, begins in North Carolina in 1762 and paints a vivid picture of colonial life in the backwoods of the North State. Adam Mitchell fought to protect his family and save his farm, but his home was destroyed by British troops in the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, and his corn fields were turned into fields of death.Finalist in the Historical Fiction category of the National Indie Excellence 2007 Book Awards

David Bowles lives in San Antonio, Texas, with his best friend and constant companion Lulubelle, a yellow Lab. An entrepreneur who is active in the community, he started his family history as a legacy for his children and grandchildren. However, he discovered that his stories were more exciting when he used his imagination and creativity to fill in the gaps of what might have happened when the details weren't available. The Westward Sagas are the fictionalized, but historically accurate, tales of his ancestors from colonial days to the settlement of the West.
