Authors Bio

New Author Bio: Charles Walton

      Mother tells me I was born on a cold rainy night in December of 1945 in a small Texas town called Georgetown. When she took me home from the hospital she paid the doctor with a Bull Durham tobacco sack full of dimes she saved from her tips as a waitress.

I didn't have time to do much growing up (like a normal child) for by the age of eight I was working full time at the Legislature in Austin, Texas as a page boy. I worked there from the 58^th legislature through the 64^th legislature.

I started my nursing career at the 'Old Confederate Home' for men at Austin, Texas. I made friends with and swapped tales with some of the last remaining Confederate militia men from Texas.

I transferred to the Austin State Hospital where I worked in the receiving service. This is not only where I met many police officers but I also learned to fight to defend myself and others as well.

When I graduated from nursing school I started working mainly in Emergency and Trauma settings where again I met many law officers and sometime had the occasion to protect myself and others in a time of crises. This Nursing career spanned forty plus years.

Now after a heart attack and three strokes I can only write about my experiences and the experiences of the law officers I met over the years.

New Authors Bio - Delta Walton

     I was born as Delta M. Hall in a very small town in Texas called Bertram. The hospital at that time had almost as many people working there as the town's population.

      Right out of High School she went to work for the Department of Public Safety at Austin, Texas. This is the main office of the Highway-Patrol.

      During the next 23 years I met many law officers while working various places through out the system. I was able to work not only with the Highway-Patrol officers but with other officers from various other organizations as well.

     After my retirement and a disabling disease I decided to help my husband write these intriguing stories we have been able to piece together from our various experiences and a lot of stories from other people from the past.

     Now most of my time is spent at the computer writing stories for I am not able to get in the sunlight and have difficulty walking. Seams like this disability has turned into ability for now I can tell some of the most interesting stories you have ever heard.
