The last of my first three books, The Caddo Duck Blind Series (My Caddo Trilogy), comprise a collection of short stories and delicious cooking recipes that have been garnered from friends and gathered from a lifetime of hunting and fishing experiences on and around Lake Fork (thirty-five years). Exceptional stories, exceptional places, exceptional people, and exceptional recipes are the ones that made it into print. Whether it be a wonderful dish from the Oklahoma Panhandle or a duck hunting story from an oxbow slough along the Sulphur River, it was my intention to thoroughly entice you into trying it. There is no experience like actually being there. My modest offerings are just that and are not intended to be any more. The people portrayed in my stories are the country people, the ranch people, the farm people, the common people, the "salt of the earth" there are none any better. They may not have started out that way, but they definitely ended up in this manner. I witnessed some "city folks" become "country folks." The settings for these stories were majestically wonderful, and the explanations and descriptions are limited only by my lack of skill in presenting them to you as such. My desire is for the reader to enjoy these presentations half as much as they were enjoyed, living them.
