Border Pilot

Copyright 2001    All rights reserved.

    At one time in my life I made my living flying crop-duster airplanes on the Texas/Mexico border.  Many years later I began to write short stories about that period of my life.  Those short stories have been stacked up in a more-or-less logical fashion and published under the title "Border Pilot". These stories can be read directly off the net by keying each chapter in the index below. If you would like to have a hard-back copy of "Border Pilot" it is published by "Author House" and can be purchased by keying on the link below.
