Haynes: Shamrock native writes novels on ranching, WWII, and spiritual conflict
Two novels set in a World War II Europe infested with Nazis and full of intrigue, romance, history and philosophical conflict had their genesis in Shamrock, Texas. “Jesse’s Seed,” published a few years ago, follows David Dremmer from his life on a ranch, working with cattle and horses and trying to deal with Jesse, his difficult father, to the gunner’s seat in a B-17 bomber to confinement in a Nazi prison camp.
