Star in the Rigging: A Novel of the Texas Navy
by Garland RoarkTension in 1832 between Mexico and her arrogant progeny, Texas, was mounting fast. Mexico placed an embargo on all Texas shipping. Outraged shipowners sent up a storm of protest. Finally Captain Jeremiah H. Brown of the schooner Sabine, urged by the people of Texas, sailed past the roaring guns in Velasco Harbor in a dash for New Orleans. This first act of open defiance was to touch off the Texas war for independence. Captain Jerry matched his wits and cunning against the powerful Navy of Mexico. He brought the fight to Mexico’s front door by committing sabotage in the harbor of her largest port, Vera Cruz. But he was torn between patriotism and his love for a treacherous woman who had turned her back on her country for the wealth and glitter of Mexico. This is the story of a country paralyzed by strife told against a background of the Alamo, the surrender of Colonel Fannin’s army, Samuel Houston’s retreat, and the eventual triumph of Texas. Garland Roark has written the unforgettable and little-known history of the Texas Navy and the part it played in winning freedom for the Lone Star Republic.
Star, The Sea Horse (Star Bright #5)
by Patsey GrayDebbie was at that stage which her mother described as “restless” and which Deb characterized more colloquially by saying “I’m ready for a blast.” She was tired of the same old routine — the bus back and forth from school; good old Wally, the boy next door; doing the same chores every day. Of course, this feeling did not extend to the time she spent riding and caring for her three-year-old stallion, Star Bright. There was nothing that Debbie would rather do than that! Still, she longed for something new. Then the letter arrived from Deb’s cousin Kitty, with an invitation to visit her for a whole month in Pine Beach, on the Pacific Ocean. Kitty hadn’t exactly invited Star, but Debbie never would have considered leaving him behind! She and Star set off for what Deb hoped would be a month of adventure, and maybe a little romance. Deb’s vacation turned out to be all she had hoped for, and more. Deb soon found a stable for Star, and immediately became involved in the familiar, yet exciting, routine of stables everywhere. Rides along the ocean were a new delight, and Star grew to love the water so much he became known as “the sea horse.” New friends made the vacation even more exciting, especially sophisticated and good-looking Jeff, so unlike anyone Deb had ever known. It seemed to Deb that no vacation could be so perfect, but as is frequently the case, the minute she became too confident she ran into trouble. In an exciting climax, Debbie almost lost Star to the powerful Pacific, and as a result, had to make some difficult decisions about herself, and Jeff, and life in general.
