Deeply rooted in history and inspired by the land, our collaborative works explore the stories that define our nation.
Our Books
Books are available in both paperback, hardback, e-books for Kindle, and soon the Patriot Freedom series will be available in audiobook format just in time for the celebration of the 250th Anniversary of the United State of America. Stay tuned for more information.
The Patriot Freedom Series
(4 books)
The Patriot Freedom series—The Mandolin Man, Sergeant Horse and the One-Eyed Ranger, The Green Dragon Revolt, and Brazos Landing—traces the enduring spirit of freedom across early American history through richly detailed historical fiction. Each novel builds upon the last, weaving a generational story of courage, resilience, and the pursuit of liberty. Grounded in real historical themes and settings, the series reflects a deep commitment to preserving the ideals of patriotism and independence, bringing to life the struggles and sacrifices that shaped a nation.
All books in this series are available on Amazon; however, to better support the author, autographed copies are available for purchase in the Shop and will be mailed directly to you.
A New Saga Begins
Carlton is currently working on the first novel for his new upcoming trilogy of books. This new series continues with the overarching theme of patriotism. However, quite different from his first series, these upcoming works are set twenty years in the future. A sneak peek: A former Navy Seal is partnered with "Chip" an AI dog!
Our Mission
C & N Publishing was founded on a simple yet profound purpose: to preserve the American narrative. We believe that understanding our past is the foundation for our future. Our mission is to honor the heritage of Texas and the United States through rigorous scholarship and evocative storytelling through our historical fiction works, ensuring that the stories of our ancestors are not lost to time.
We are a husband-and-wife team who writes and self-publishes. We do not publish books for other authors. We are dedicated to the preservation of history. Our works are a labor of love, bridging the gap between the dusty archives of the past and the vibrant present. We hope to inspire a new generation of patriots who see the beauty in our shared heritage.
