The Broken Red Road
During a school bus crash caused by a drunken biker, 14-year-old Rain Nelson discovers a map that will lead to ancient Lakota relics worth millions. Rain’s father, Chase, President of the Outlaws, and Daws Holland, president of the Elder’s Den, have been feuding for years. Upon failing to retrieve the map from Rain, Daws sends the Nomad to murder Chase. Rain and his little brother, Jessie, discover him dead on their front porch.
Big Mike Tory, a childhood friend of Chase, adopts Rain and Jessie. To keep the boys and his own son, Beef, from joining the Outlaws, Mike moves them to Havelock. 13-year-old Reason Nelson, son of Rain, becomes entangled in a web of treachery over the murder of a female narc. The events of the bus crash years earlier come full circle, when the race to possess the relics once again heats up.

Tom Frye
Tom Frye has worked for the past 45 years as an advocate for troubled youth. He began his career when still in high school, serving as a street contact for a runaway shelter.
It was during his time as a worker at a detention facility for delinquent youth, that he began writing stories for the residents. When kids began asking for sequels to his works, Tom knew he had discovered a way to communicate and connect with troubled kids.
Tom has served as a mediator for his own truancy program and provided wake-up calls and escorts to schools for a wide mix of alternative students. As an English/Drama instructor, he once produced and directed a substance abuse program that had an impact on 15,000 at-risk kids. He believes, though, that his greatest accomplishment can be summed up in the words of one troubled boy who wrote to him while confined in an institution: “Discovered your book today. It was like reading a letter you wrote directly to me. Thanks for giving me hope.”
