Cousins

Rangers, Racism, and Redemption in Early Twentieth Century Texas

By: Robert J. Eells

Cousins is the third volume of the Tex Med trilogy. The medical student John McFarland was the primary focus of the first two volumes. Cousins, however, concentrates mostly on Johns cousin, Ted Townley, and his adventures as a deputy sheriff in his hometown of Los Indios, Texas. Follow him and others, including his three Texas Ranger buddies, as they fight Mexican bandits, drug smugglers, a corrupt cattle baron, and the resurgence of the new Ku Klux Klan. Also follow Annes efforts to smooth out her boyfriend Teds rough edges so that their future would be similar to Johns with his girlfriend, Heather. Adventures, romances, moral struggles, and lots of medicine all come together in this historical novel set near the Rio Grande during the onset of World War One.

From My Mind's Eye

Collected Works

By: Robert J. Eells

The chaos of war affects everyone, especially women and children. What will happen to three women in the mid-1940s when American bombs rain down and occupation troops are approaching or are already in place? One woman is Japanese and trapped with her daughter on the Island of Saipan. Invasion is imminent. Will victorious American troops be saviors or the monsters they have been portrayed by Japanese authorities? She is wounded and without hope when discovered by the Americans. Will her worst fears become reality? The second woman is French and Jewish. She has been captured after a temporary sanctuary with Huguenots, Protestant Christians. Will her prison train reach a death camp or be accidentally destroyed by American planes along the way? She has her daughter with her and hope is fading away. The third woman is German and has lost her children to daytime American bombing. She blames them for the loss and for the destruction of her beautiful city. She is plotting revenge against American troops. Will she carry it out? Or will she waver when beginning to interact with occupation forces? Nightmares also alert B-29 pilots to the dangers of flying raids over Japan and facing heavy resistance. Their worst fears are kamikaze pilots who suddenly appear out of nowhere and speed toward them to collide and plunge them into the sea. If collision occurs, is survival possible? In more recent history, how will a pro-democracy agitator in a small, third-world country survive being thrown into the ocean with heavy weights tied around his legs? He's a Christian and trusts in his God, but wonders if a last-minute rescue is possible. Is his fate that of the biblical Jonah? or does God have something else in mind? Time is running out. In days of old, will an escaped slave from Missouri reach the safety of the Illinois Underground Railroad with pro-slavery bounty hunters not far behind? He has swum across the Mississippi River but can hear the barking dogs catching up. Will the assistance of an Abolitionist doctor mean freedom is his destiny? The good doctor is his best hope, but will it be enough? If caught, he knows his own fate. What of the doctor? These and other exciting stories comprise two-thirds of this volume. There are eight in total. Some are fictional, others based on real historical characters. But all are "true," for truth is more than facts! The rest of the volume are brief tributes to people who have impacted the author's life and humorous episodes he has experienced during a thirty-five year career in college teaching. For example, is it not funny when a freshman student approaches you in November and says. "I think I'm at the wrong college." Or when a college president, during a lunch interview in his home, puts a rifle on your shoulder to use as support to shoot at something in his back yard? Or when an important person shows up to deliver a college commencement address and discovers he's at the wrong college? Funny, indeed, as are all of the entries in the section called "biographical essays" (Part 2). I hope readers agree that the "tributes" (Part 1) are of impressive individuals, the essays are humorous, and the "short stories" (Part 3) are exciting and even a bit romantic. Enjoy.
