The Rivers Trilogy available in a boxed set

Jim Ainsworth cuts the Rivers men--Jake, Gray Boy, and Rance--from traditional American cloth--a little Huck Finn, a little Nick Adams, a little Holden Caulfield. . . a little John Wayne, a little Marlon Brando, a little James Dean.
-- Charles Bailey, Texas State University English Professor and contributor and speaker for the Southwest Regional Humanities Center, expert of Cormac McCarthy’s work.

Boxed set of the first 3 novels in the Rivers Series is now available in BOOKS.

Take advantage of Jim’s special offer: With the purchase of any book, Jim will include a free copy of either Rivers Ebb or Rivers Crossing. See BOOKS.

Home Light Burning, prequel to the Rivers Trilogy
As always, Jim Ainsworth finds more truth in fiction than in limited facts. As a prequel to his three previous novels in the Rivers series, research and family stories blend to create illumination and drama in Home Light Burning.  --  Dr. Fred Tarpley

Biscuits Across the Brazos, a memoir
Before the Rivers Trilogy, there was Biscuits Across the Brazos. Jim Ainsworth made a covered wagon and horseback trip across Texas to retrace the journey his ancestors made two generations earlier. This book chronicles that trip. Jim’s memoir is back with a new cover from Sunstone Press.
