The Bee Adkins Series

Spanning five decades of the tumultuous 20th century, the Bee Adkins series is the epic biographical saga of a man born of the fading American frontier—a master tracker, a legendary hunter, and a reluctant gunhand whose skills were forged in the wild, but whose heart belonged to his family.

The journey begins with Bee’s harsh upbringing in Texas and New Mexico, where he learns the unforgiving laws of nature. A fateful journey into revolutionary Mexico transforms him from a boy into a fugitive, a man who learns to kill to survive. Returning to Arizona a haunted man, Bee seeks peace in marriage, but his past and the crushing weight of the Great Depression pull him into a criminal underworld. His choices, born of a desperate need to provide, set in motion a devastating chain of events that shatters his family, tests his wife’s sanity to its breaking point, and forces him to endure heartbreaking sacrifices to put the pieces back together.

In the final chapter of his life, Bee leads his reunified family to the seemingly golden land of California for a new start as a government hunter. But the shadows of his past are long, and the dangers of his profession are ever-present, forcing him to confront the violent man he was forced to become while trying to be the father and husband his family deserves.

The Bee Adkins series is a raw, intimate, and unflinching portrait of survival, sacrifice, and the search for redemption against the backdrop of a nation outgrowing the 'old west.' It is the story of a complex American icon whose hands were shaped by violence, but whose soul yearned for home.
