The RE÷Union roadmap includes five novels as cannon, spanning the 1830s, 40s, 50s, Civil War, and Reconstruction. We start the series with a long lost friend of the Miller family, holed up in a dilapidated cabin, nestled high in the mountains of Colorado around 1885. Staving off the symptoms of a terminal sickness, thoughts become overwhelming and reality sets in that this story is going to die too, in that old cabin, which will probably rot into nothingness, the family's secrets and hidden possessions along with it. Rummaging through crates and boxes of old artwork, journals, photographs and publications, it becomes clear how important this story is. There indeed still is a legacy to leave behind. These heroes (and a few villains) should not be relegated to the stodgy, mundane existence that the general populace insists they knew. What follows is an attempt to piece together the adventure this family shared, across the continent of America and around the world, witnessing unimaginable social and technological change, tied within a network of stunningly courageous and creative family and friends. Premise I was forced against my will to summarize the premise of RE÷Union as follows (to be used as a pitch in an elevator or some other awkward social setting): An adventurous writer-artist duo conspires to share hidden stories about explosive cultural change and westward expansion in the decades leading up to the American Civil War.

Buchanan Oliver Thompson always believed he was destined for greatness-just as certain as the sun rose in the East or his father's company reported another year of record profits. The only problem was, life was too comfortable, too easy, to truly test his mettle. That is, until a woman came along. Or at least, a woman's wanted poster. Kristine "The Queen" Burnshire had been wreaking havoc across the expanding West, terrorizing the brave, unlucky families who sought fortunes and a new life in the rich, untamed land west of the Mississippi. Her infamy spread like wildfire, and the government wasted no time in placing a bounty on her head. Every man worth his salt was after Kristine Burnshire, drawn by the promise of money, land, and glory. Buchanan was no exception. But when Buchanan actually succeeds in tracking down The Queen, will he have the courage to bring her to justice? Or will the wild West break him, leaving his bones to bleach under the relentless sun?

A Native American's perspective of the colonization of the west.

I'm excited on a cold night in February to spend the night at my friend Steve's apartment. We go out and walk around and chill in the clubhouse. Quite the vibe, but when the LAST person we wanted to see showed up we knew that the night was as good as doomed.....

Presented from the eyes of a fictional young boy to the actual historical figures of the day, it is a pragmatic view of the orthodox version of the Mexican American war. It is a historical journey. I hope you enjoy
