Chayton: Evil Rolls West

by Doug Goodman, Linda Goodman

Evil men and evil deeds have been around since the beginning of time. All humans regard those individuals who commit these heinous crimes as monsters regardless of their race or culture. As our Nation progressed westward these demons saw the opportunity to travel west hidden under a cloak of deceit. This is the story of one monster moving from the East into Indian Territory leaving brutalized children and grieving parents in his wake.

Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines “Civilized” as: “characteristic of a state of civilization ; especially: characterized by taste, refinement, or restraint.” But whose civilization, taste, refinement, or restraint do we accept or reject? At different times in American history we have rejected other civilizations and their culture later to say maybe we went too far and we need to reevaluate.

Chayton’s moral compass forged by two civilizations took the best of both and fought evil when it surfaced without regard to its taste, refinement, or restraint and without regard to his own life. He did what was right. He was committed to give these child victims justice.

About the author

I live in Houston, but I was raised in Lubbock, Texas. I’m an animal writer. It doesn’t matter if the animals I write about are zombie-hunting dogs, dinosaurs, or giant kaiju monsters, I’m interested in that area where animals and humans intersect. I’m especially curious about the mind meld that happens with working animals. This is my point of view for examining human nature, and why I enjoy writing these books so much.

My site says I’m a writer and an explorer. My wife and I are “often” travelers. Thanks to my work, I sometimes get the opportunity to visit extraordinary people in out-of-the-way places. In recent years I’ve explored parts of the Navajo Nation, Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, and I did a mesmerizing 20-state roadtrip with my supportive family. I’ve been to all but four states in the United States.

I live with two awesome kids (though one is having her own adventures in college), one amazing wife, and two white German Shepherds. Thank you for stopping by, and please check out one of my books.
