Recently we added what we are calling a credit card machine to the Chief's Ebook. The way it set up you can read the prologue and first four chapters for free. By the time you finish with those you will know whether or not you would like to read the rest of the novel. If you decide to finish reading it, you will be able to pay $5.00 with your credit card to get immediate access to the entire novel.

Below is a description of some of the characters. Of course we realize some of you would prefer not to read this type of writing which is why we formed the on-line Tribe which has nothing to do with the Tribe in the novel. All writers are welcome to join the Tribe and we're confident that EVERYONE can find some literary entertainment to their liking throught this site.

Black Bear is one of the few Sioux Indians to remain behind when the Tribe is driven out of the Black Hills in South Dakota during the late 1800’s. He claims a mountain loaded with gold as his own. When the gold rush develops a few years later he kills anyone who trespasses on his mountain and attempts to dig for gold. As the years go by he terminates the lives of hundreds of gold miners; keeping their weapons and supplies in his cave where the walls are lined with gold. Later a young white woman who’s father owns the largest cattle ranch in the valley explores the mountain without her father knowing. Black Bear meets her, they later fall in love, and she is able to bring her father up to the mountain. He and Black Bear become friends, and he respects his daughter’s wishes to marry the Indian. Soon after their marriage she convinces Black Bear to mine the gold and sell it so he will no longer have to kill so many people defending it. Her father finances the expedition and Black Bear becomes the wealthiest man in the state of South Dakota. Later she becomes pregnant and has a blue eyed baby named Bob Blackbear. When her father dies, her husband inherits the ranch where war breaks out because the local ranchers think it’s wrong for an Indian to have the largest cattle ranch, a white woman (who they kill), and the most money in the state. Many of Black Bear’s ranch hands are Sioux, White, Black and Chinese. They work well together and are loyal to Black Bear who lives well into the 1940’s when he is assassinated by the Chicago Mafia.

Bob Blackbear leaves the ranch for Chicago in the 1930’s and has a niche for betting on horses. He makes thousands of dollars and is known around the community as the Chief. He opens a bar called the Chief’s Saloon where gambling and prostitution are big. The Mafia wants a cut of the action for protection fees, but the Chief won’t pay so a feud breaks out between the Tribe and the Mafia.

Jenny is a Gypsy Belly Dancer at the Chief’s Saloon. She and the Chief later get married and have a baby named Joe.

Jack is the Chief’s right-hand man who is raised on the ranch with Bob and comes to Chicago with him when they were in their early twenties.

Frank Olivetti and Tony Campenero start out as money collectors for the Mafia. They later collaborate the assassination of the Chief, and of Black Bear. They both grow to head the Chicago Mob in the 1950’s. When Joe comes back to town seeking vengeance they refer to him as the Chief.

Sergeant Duffy was also raised on the ranch and is like a brother to Bob and Jack. He goes off to fight the Japanese in World War II and becomes one of Eisenhower’s protogues. In the 1950’s he fights in Korea and joins the CIA after that.

Black-Jack is Joe’s younger half brother. He has ultimate respect for his brother and will do anything his brothers demands.

Mike is Joe’s blood-brother from Korea. Joe and Mike are both in the Sergeant’s squad during the Korean conflict in the 1950’s where they clean out caves full of North Koreans in South Korea.

Gator and Kateri are male and female Seminole twins. Their father was in Sergeant Duffy’s squad in Korea and was killed. After the conflict Sergeant Duffy takes Gator and Kateri under his wing and gives them positions in the CIA.

Fidel is a Cuban revolutionary who takes over the island by force. He and Joe both fall in love with Kateri and there is blood shed over her.

Raul is Fidel’s right-hand man.

Vito is Nick’s bodyguard and right-hand man.

Gigi is Joe’s bookie. They later open a restaurant together called the Hideaway. Gigi owns one third of it, but all of it is his name because the Chief’s money is illegal.

Laura is like a daughter to the Chief and manages the the Hideaway.

Snake, Scrappy, and Dobey are a few of the misfits that make up the Tribe. The Tribe is made up of a bunch of people who would be considered scofflaws by the rest of the population, but there is honor among the Tribe members.

Frank Faulkenstein is Chief of The Atlanta Police Department. He knows the Tribe is participating in illegal activities and won’t stop pursuing them until the Chief is in jail.
