Prudence Mims flourished as the youngest daughter of a prominent planter in the frontier wilderness of the Tensaw Delta in present-day Alabama. Her father, Samuel Mims, came to the Mississippi Territory as an Indian Trader during the American Revolution acquiring a land grant from the governor of Spanish West Florida. For years the Mims family lived in peace in the ancestral home of Creek Indians. However, everything changed when the United States exerted their territorial claims to the southern region of the American frontier. In time, they would become collateral damage in a game of cat and mouse between the fledgling U.S. Government and the fierce Red Stick Faction of the Creek Indians. Based on family lore, this is the untold story Prudence's harrowing escape when these worlds collided on August 30, 1813, resulting in the worst massacre by Woodland Indians in American history - forever changing the framework of a continent.

Autorenporträt
As a child, I remember the stories my mother and grandmother used to tell about me lineage, in particular, the story of the 1813 Massacre of Fort Mims. A few years ago, I began a journey researching our family lore, discovering something surprising. Historians consistently stated that no one knew the whereabouts of my kinfolks at the time of the massacre or their fate afterward. In my debut novel, Red Tears, I attempt to reveal insights into our family lore and their harrowing escape from the bloodiest massacre in the frontier history of the United States.Earning a Bachelor's of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M Kingsville in 1983, I enjoy my work designing and building pipelines, oil production facilities, refineries and chemical plants in the Gulf Coast region. As a Project Engineer, I have over thirty years of experience in writing highly technical documents like reports, specification, and procedures, and am excited about making the transition into historical literature. I must say it is very gratifying to know that I have finally written something that is entertaining to read.There is a joke among engineers that goes: The pessimist sees the glass as half empty. The optimist sees the glass as half full. The engineer has performed calculations that determined that the volume of the vessel is approximately twice as large as required for the application.I am delighted to see the glass half full
