Book excerpt: Every society has a history etched with unexplained mystery. Every continent boasts architectural marvels built with such skill and technology that they defy any modern explanation or possible duplication. Every culture is shadowed with stories of a parallel world, the other side, another dimension and every civilization has legends of doorways, portals or gates between them. The story of Tekoa and the Book of Secrets is such a story. It is set in the rugged West Texas, Guadelupe Mountains and its counter world, the land of Tekoa. Book Review 1: "Fantastic book.

Hughes, Composer, Lyricist Book Review 3: "The cowboy poet has once again put his storytelling prowess to full use in an evocative tale that takes us back to Tekoa.
