I can’t believe May is already over, just about. Memorial Day weekend snuck up on me, between some house-repair issues and illnesses running across home and land (that I somehow avoided, but no one else in the household was so fortunate)… it’s safe to say a lot’s happened!

But, a lot has also been happening here, too. Things I need to get us caught up on! Buckle up, because this will be a long announcement post:

And Another Pre-Order! By Way of Texas by Brisco Woods – 06/12/2026

Silas Beatty had come west after the War Between the States looking for, something. The seemingly endless cattle drive from Texas to Montana had been a good start. Drifting back south, he had worked for the railroad, hunted Buffalo, and anything else to make a dollar. He had lived with, worked with, and fought Indians along the way.

Still looking for something and not knowing what, he found himself in south Texas working with a small Ranger unit. These men were men he respected, tough and smart. He finally found what that thing was he had been searching for.

The life of a Texas Ranger, however, was anything but easy. That was just fine with Silas Beatty, for he was not an easy person. He excelled in the life whether recovering stolen livestock from rustlers, or hunting down killers, his Colt’s were judge, jury, and executioner.

When ghosts from his past began to haunt his trail, he had to face challenges he had sought to avoid. But now that they were here, he’d not hide from them or ask for help. He was taught early in life how to face problems, and he’d face them the only way he knew how. A Colt in each hand and cold flint in his eyes.

Your Call is Very Important to Us – 06/27/2026

June 27th is PTSD Awareness Day. As our way of honoring that, we are releasing a book that has been in the work for years, a collection of stories from veterans of the Global War on Terror (Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom, specifically). We hope you will consider pre-ordering this, for yourself and for any loved ones who have served or—given the state of the world today—are considering serving.

Your Call Is Very Important to Us is a powerful collection of stories, poems, and artwork from veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan War era—voices that are too often unheard, yet deeply needed. Through raw honesty and creative expression, these servicemembers share their experiences not only of war, but of what comes after: the search for purpose, identity, and healing.

This anthology stands as a reminder that veterans are more than their service. Their talents, perspectives, and stories reach far beyond the battlefield, offering connection to those who seek to understand and solidarity to those still finding their way.

For many contributors, writing and art have become lifelines—tools for processing, for rebuilding, and for hope. May this work serve as a bridge: helping veterans feel seen and reminding civilians that understanding begins with listening.

Proceeds from this book support the WeDefy Foundation, providing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu scholarships to disabled veterans—empowering continued healing through community, movement, and resilience.
