Small-Town Texas Justice, One Story at a Time: Inside the “Bulverde Beat”

 Small-Town Texas Justice, One Story at a Time: Inside the “Bulverde Beat”

There’s something quietly powerful about small towns. And if you ask folks in Texas, they’ll tell you. “Everything’s a little more intense here.” Just ask them.

These places may not always make the headlines, but they hold stories — real, raw, and sometimes unresolved.

That’s the world I explore in the Bulverde Beat series.

Each Bulverde Beat story is unique

These aren’t flashy thrillers or big-city dramas. They’re short, sharp snapshots of what happens when the darker side of human nature collides with justice in a small Texas town.

As a retired Air Force officer and lifelong observer of people, I’ve come to believe the most gripping stories don’t need explosions or endless twists. Sometimes, all it takes is a deputy, a PI consultant with a finely tuned institution, a question, and a case that won’t sit right.

Each Bulverde Beat story stands alone. No required reading order. Just clean storytelling for readers who enjoy a dose of mystery, a touch of justice, and characters who feel like someone you’ve met — or wish you had.

Here are the four stories available now:

· Mystery Explosion — A deadly blast kills a county prosecutor… but was it really an accident? (currently 99¢, exclusively on Amazon)

· The Code — A brutal murder, a tight-lipped suspect, and a motive no one saw coming. (currently 99¢, exclusively on Amazon)

· Death on a Texas Highway — A man faces the ultimate choice: save a life or save himself. ($3.33)

· Active Shooter — Harry and Jennifer are caught in a deadly standoff in a quiet Mexican restaurant. ($2.99)

The first two are Amazon exclusives while I complete some updates. The others are available on most ebook platforms.

If you enjoy justice without the noise — and stories that trust the reader to lean in — I’d be honored if you gave the Bulverde Beat a try.
