Texas novelist Jim Ainsworth made a covered wagon and horseback trip across Texas to retrace the journey his ancestors made two generations earlier. Biscuits Across the Brazos chronicles that trip. Jim traveled the team roping circuit as an amateur and worked roundups on big ranches. Working beside real cowboys sent him back to writing. In the Rivers Flow was Jim’s first novel. Rivers Crossing followed. Just released is the third novel in his Follow the Rivers trilogy, Rivers Ebb, a finalist for the Violet Crown Award from Texas Writers League.

Jim Ainsworth keeps stories alive....click here

Rivers Ebb has been chosen as a finalist in the mainstream/fiction category of Writers Digest International book competition and will be featured in the March/April issue of Writers Digest.

Prolific and award winning novelist Suzanne Morris says:  
Jake Rivers is the most lovable character I have ever encountered in fiction...The follow the Rivers Trilogy is one the most endearing stories that ever swept across the literary landscape, and yet its implications are universal.

Ainsworth's writing includes complex, colorful and unforgettable characters. -- Alice Reese, Greenville Herald Banner

Rivers Ebb, a refreshing change from formula fiction, belongs on every best-seller list in the country. Ainsworth's skills remain razor-sharp. Characters jump off the page and into our hearts.
-- Terry Mathews, Editor, Wood County Democrat
