About the Author:

and Wales. One branch of her family was traced back to the early
1400s to the Attanoughkomouck Indians. She is a widow and a retired
public school teacher of both high school and grade school.

myriad of trials and tribulations she's had to overcome. You'll
never see her without a smile on her face or an encouraging word
for anyone who is of need. Her love of her God and of people gives
her all the peace and comfort she needs. Dallas' love of church and
Bible study helps her to research many interesting people. Sioux
Dallas is currently working on her next novel.
The Amish are peaceful, law-abiding people. They do not hold
grudges and do not seek vengeance. Their strong belief in God
prevents them from fighting or placing a lot of value on money or
self-importance.
Charity and Adam are a unique young couple. They married first out
of duty to their families and then became so much in love that the
entire Amish community admired and acknowledged them.
Charity is opinionated and outspoken. Unlike the passive Amish
women, Charity speaks her mind and stands firmly for what she
believes. She sometimes upsets the church leaders but everyone
knows she is a strong Christian and a faithful Amish. Her strong
fortitude is called upon through horrors that happen to her family
and to the Amish community.
One of the "town boys" is found dead in an Amish barn. Who killed
him and why was he placed in an Amish barn?

Even at the height of his popularity, Sherlock Holmes couldn't
solve the exciting cases of the Lost Cause Detective Agency more
intelligently. Hannah Rutherford, owner and Senior Investigator,
and her staff, Victoria Stallard and Herbert Muller, many times
facing threats to their own lives, bring about conclusions that
will have the reader on the edge of their seat and admiring them.
Eye witnesses to murder and a conversation between strangers about
a fantasy murder lead to someone fearing for their own life. Also a
horror in the detective agency has the entire county up-in-arms.
Can these horrors be solved? Can you read this book by yourself at
night? About the Author:
In addition to teaching school, raising, training, showing horses
and giving lessons, working in her church, volunteering in the
community, keeping house and taking care of her family, Sioux
Dallas trained to be a detective. She has always had a desire to
know about what was involved. Dallas will be the first one to admit
she is far from perfect, but she does love writing these books now
that she is unable to participate in the activities she loved so
much. After she retired from teaching, she trained to be an
aerobics instructor and worked for a well-known gym for eight
years. Now in a wheelchair, she rolls joyfully through life and
writes about real happenings with fictional people.
"First Experience" is not a complete book on how to ride, but it
is designed to help the beginner choose the best horse for their
own use and to select the proper stable for the animal. Animals
have feelings just as people do, and because people are supposed to
have a better brain, we need to be caring and concerned about the
animal. They will serve one faithfully and with unconditional love
if they are loved and cared for properly.
About the Author:
Sioux Dallas has loved horses all of her life ever since her father
put her in front of him on a horse when she was six months old.
However she wasn't financially able to own one until she had
finished college and started working. Her first horse was the
great-grandson of Man O'War. Dallas had taken lessons in licensed
establishments, and one of her jumping instructors had ridden with
the Queen's Guards in England. She learned well and began giving
lessons to beginners. Dallas was also a charter member in the
Riding for the Handicapped School and used her horses free of
charge to work with the blind and mentally challenged. She was
horrified to learn that supposedly intelligent people knew nothing
about matching a horse with the ability of the rider. She felt that
the many books on horses were excellent, but not for people who had
never owned a horse. She decided to share her knowledge and
experience to help others and, hopefully, prevent injury to person
and abuse to animals.
Shades of the old west. Horse stealing, cattle rustling, arson
and murder, and it's happening today. The people of Lake County,
Montana are willing to be good neighbors but are being harassed by
thieves and invaders on their property. Modern day politics are
involved and it's shocking when the ranchers discover who is the
head of these gangs.
Ginger Proudfoot inherited a huge ranch after the death of her
ancestors. She is a recent college graduate and has been away from
the ranch for a few years. Can she outwit these trespassers and
whom can she trust?
About the Author:
"Montana Madness" is Sioux Dallas' seventh book, and she has two
more currently in progress. Dallas selects a true event or real
people and builds a story around it.
Dallas has written short stories since she was in the third grade
and heard a great uncle, who became famous, tell his original
stories. By the seventh grade, teachers were encouraging her to do
something with her work.
Teaching school, keeping house and family, raising and training
horses, giving riding lessons, music, church work and community
endeavors all kept her too busy. After Dallas retired and became a
widow she took steps to have her work published. She expresses
gratitude constantly for the love and support of family and
friends.
Can anyone identify a perfect spouse? Is there such a person?
You'll know the truth after you read "The Perfect Spouse."
Jason is the protagonist of the story, but the book is primarily
about The Perfect Spouse and their plans for other people. Jason
didn't want a lot of fanfare for his second wedding because he had
a wonderful marriage previously, but he wanted his new wife Siobhan
to have a memorable wedding day. Why was so much attention given to
him? That's called writer's license. Is there such a thing as a
perfect spouse? You tell me.
About the Author:
Sioux Dallas started creating stories when she heard a great-uncle
telling original stories that made him famous. She began writing
hers down in the third grade. By the seventh grade teachers were
encouraging her to do something with her work. Teaching at school,
taking care of a family, raising and training horses, giving riding
lessons, her music, and working in the church all took time. Dallas
started taking her writing more seriously and undertook the
necessary steps to have it published after she retired and was a
widow. "The Perfect Spouse" is her fifth published book, and she is
currently working on three others.
"Death in Three Quarter Time" is an eclectic collection of
original short stories. By expressing life's true meaning through
the written word, these stories deal with conflict and times of
grief that will surely bring insight and understanding into the
reader's life.
About the Author:
Sioux Dallas, a widow, is a retired high school coach and classroom
teacher as well as a retired horse trainer and riding instructor.

appeared for thirty-two years in five newspapers around Washington
D.C. and later in Zephyrhills, Florida. She took journalism classes
in college and is a member of a writing group in Zephyrhills. She

playing the bagpipes. She teaches square dancing on horseback (the
horses do the dancing) and is a water aerobics instructor for a
nationally known gym. Sioux has been a Bible teacher for many
years. She has had short stories and poems published.
In the late 1950s and early '60s, Sioux taught blind and mentally
challenged children, free of charge on her own horses and while she
was teaching public school. She was invited to attend a brunch
meeting in the Red Fox Inn in Middlesboro, Virginia to discuss open
riding schools for the handicapped in the United States.

Drum Corps who marched in parades and played for many social
events, organizer and leader of the Bit and Bridle 4-H Club where
she taught riding, correct care of equines, correct showing, stable
care and taught the teens to be horse show judges.
Sioux and her husband retired to Florida where she organized and
led the only recognized riding club in Florida. She taught how to
organize and run a horse show and keep written records for horse
shows.
Sharon Donnelly is so nice and naive, she's unbelievable. After
her abusive husband is killed, she moves from Texas to Florida to
attend USF and to work with her sister on her horses for
handicapped riders. She can't understand why she's having so many
accidents; until her car blows up. Who is trying to kill her and
why? Will the riding instructor or the police detective finally win
her heart?
