No Peace In Paradise
No Peace in Paradise
is the first book in the series,
Hearts Full of Courage.
Join James Kemplin, a fictional character, as he leads you through this action packed historical novel. Stand beside the real people who forged history as we know it, men like Orrin Porter Rockwell—the Mormon Avenging Angel—who matter-of-factly told a U.S. Vice President, “I never killed anyone who didn’t need killing’. It was a time when Westward Expansion pushed the boundaries of the United States beyond the Missouri River—and at times pushed men beyond their boundaries.
From the opening paragraph, "Even on a good day, riding into the rough frontier town of Independence was like trying to pet a rattlesnake. You knew you were going to get bit—you just didn't know when. And today wasn't a good day," sets the stage for a white-knuckled ride through history.
Keith W. Merrill, an Academy Award winning filmmaker and author, puts it this way.
"No Peace in Paradise" is a great beginning to "Hearts Full of Courage ," a compelling new series of historical fiction by debut novelist, Dennis Wayne. If you liked "The Work and the Glory" you will not want to miss going on this journey with Wayne and his fascinating cast of characters, some who actually lived, and the rest of them should have."

Bestselling author of Saga of the Kings,
and The Evolution of Thomas Hall.
