4 Counties — The Story of the Last King of Texas

The first installment in the three book franchise that launched freshman storyteller James Wayland Long’s literary career in the summer of 2015.  Set in Northwest Texas; threaded with historical facts and using real life places of interest in Fort Worth and the surrounding area, the novel is based on the early life of rancher/oilman Kenny Wayne Harris, who inherits the head chair of the iconic Harris Ranches.  An early love goes south and spawns two separate murder trials, while a love at first sight accidental encounter changed Kenny Wayne, and the course of Texas history for the better. 

A social media and overall internet firestorm of followers hatched a solid showing on Amazon for the electronic version, while the self published and personally autographed hardback is changing the rules in the game of self-publishing and self-promotion in the literary industry.
