Welcome to Books by Davenport

This site was launched to promote the sale of my historical fiction novels "Last Ute Chief" and "Harvesting Rainbows/Rainbow of Death." Both books are meant to test your every emotion! Either novel is acceptable, excellent reading for those high-school age and older. "Chief," as it has become known, was recently re-teched with a new cover and minor text changes. Amazon and Barnes and Noble reviewers rated this book 5-Star. One reviewer noted, "This book should be required reading for high-schoolers!"

"Chief" intertwines Native American History with accounts of heroism during the Vietnam War. By book's end, readers will fully understand the atrocities of the Vietnam War and the unfounded prejudices surrounding that conflict. This novel is one of the greatest gifts you could ever give a war veteran or admirers of Native American history!

"Harvesting Rainbows" and "Rainbow of Death" are two fiction novels under one flip cover. Flip covers, though popular in the 1950s and 1960s, seem to have disappeared from the shelves of book-sellers. This book, referred to as "Rainbows," exactly fits the bill for flip-cover style.

"Harvesting Rainbows" portrays how an ultra-wealthy man's life becomes drastically altered when family members die in an auto accident. The main character, Silas Miller, transforms from a hard-hearted, self-centered business tycoon to a man who learns that happiness in life is not about money; it's about faith, family, and friends.

"Rainbow of Death," a historical fiction novel, depicts the life of a fourteen-year-old boy who survives Hitler's gas chamber. He seeks revenge after his family is exterminated through ethnic cleansing during World War II. The main character, Aleski Zajac, a Sinti Gypsy, uses the skills taught to him by his father to hunt down a Nazi officer responsible for his clan's massacre.
