Author of the Raintree Series
Halito and Welcome!
You have entered the world of Jonathan Raintree, a card-carrying member of the Choctaw Tribe of Oklahoma, and retired Lieutenant Commander of the United States Navy SEAL Team 4. It is here, at visitraintree.com, that you will learn new, extra details about Jon and his men, and the women in their lives.
Book 1: Raintree, sets the stage and introduces you to the SEAL team of 12 men, 9 Anglo, 1 Black , 1 Hispanic, and 1 Native American, who, back in the day, called themselves The Dirty Dozen. They lived and worked together for twenty years, trusting each other with their very lives. Now, they are all in their fifties, middle-aged, and scattered across the country, from New York to California, making new lives for themselves. But Raintree, their LT, is the glue that still holds them all together. Even though they are all officially civilians now, their LT still has their backs, and if he says the word, they will drop everything and join him. Their missions and ops aren’t over.
Raintree will draw you in, as you learn of, what some people called, ‘Jon’s troubles’. You will follow Rose on her journey from Minnesota to Oklahoma, relocating after her husband’s death. Discover how Rose and Raintree’s paths crossed over and over again, before they even met. That’s all we’ll give you for now. It’s too early in our relationship to even hint at a spoiler.
Just know that you won’t be left hanging. There’s more to the story in Raintree: Finding the Red Path and Raintree Inc. As you become familiar with the characters, you will find yourself almost bonding with your favorite(s).
Come visit us again, and we’ll talk more about Oklahoma, The Lodge, St. Caroline’s Indian School, The Grandfather, the Star of the North Foundation, Jon’s house, The Jerk, Minnesota connections, and the merits of chocolate, among other things.
Good reading to you all!
