The Jumping Off Place

"The Red Dress" and "The Crossroads.", two stories I wrote many years ago grew into a novel. I wrote, THE JUMPING-OFF PLACE, about a ï¬re in the same small town. It shook the whole community of Sweetwater, especially the victim's sister. Then Ollie investigated the ï¬ re, she encountered dangers she didn't see coming, through two enemies, even a brother who returned home to Sweetwater. The Pentecostal Church stood in the middle of Sweetwater and so did Galveston Hobbs, a minister who didn't fl inch from addressing controversial subjects with his congregation, only he didn't know about the greed that was rampant as two men sought their new fortunes.
