Sidney St. James began writing his first novel, In the Face of Adversity in the spring of 1995. It was the beginning of four books in his Faith Chronicles Series following a family from Oldenburg, Germany traveling to Texas in 1845 and face many adversities along the way to establish a new life in a new country, TEXAS. His second in the series was The Rose of Brays Bayou, a true story written from the memoirs of Dilue Rose Harris of the Runaway Scrape in Texas. His third in the series is Faith – Seventy Times Seven, a true story about the first ordained woman minister in the State of Louisiana and how she found forgiveness for twenty years from an abusive and alcoholic husband. His fourth in the series, Seeing the Power of God, is a story about a young man who fell from the sky fully grown and has trouble finding Christianity when the only book he has ever read is one based on Hinduism. Thirty-six more novels follow his first series in Science Fiction, Creative Nonfiction, Romance Suspense and Thrillers, and Religious genres.
He also loves to play matchmaker in his paranormal romances and young adult series, transporting readers to a place where the bold heroes have endearing flaws, the women are smarter than they lead on, the land is lush and untamed, and chivalry is alive and well.
He lives near Sun City in Georgetown, Texas with his wife Barbara and a cat named “Fluffy” and he can occasionally be found wearing a tie… and I do mean “occasionally.” His latest release “LET ME DRIVE” is his 38th novel.

Although Historical Fiction, each scene is based on a true story written by Dilue Rose Harris in 1900.
In the annals of Texas history, a legendary episode exists that ignites the imagination and pulses with heart-pounding intensity: the Runaway Scrape. Set amidst the backdrop of the Texas Revolution, this thrilling tale weaves a narrative of danger, sacrifice, and the relentless pursuit of freedom.
Picture the scene: It is 1836, and the fledgling Republic of Texas stands on the precipice of a historic clash. The Texian forces, led by the valiant Sam Houston, are engaged in a fierce struggle against the powerful Mexican army of General Santa Anna. The fate of Texas hangs in the balance.
Word spreads like wildfire through the settlements and towns, an ominous whisper that strikes fear into the hearts of every Texian. Santa Anna's merciless and relentless forces march toward their lands, leaving a wake of devastation in their path. Panic ripples through the Lone Star State, and a primal instinct to survive sets in.
In the face of this looming threat, the settlers of Texas embark on an audacious and perilous journey. Families, men, women, and children alike, abandon their homes, livelihoods, and all that is familiar in a desperate bid to escape the approaching Mexican army. The Runaway Scrape has begun.
Through treacherous terrain and inclement weather, the Texian refugees trudge on, their determination fueling their weary bodies. A sense of urgency permeates the air, for their lives depend on reaching safety. Fearful of being caught by Santa Anna's forces, they move swiftly, leaving behind a trail of shattered dreams and abandoned possessions.
Imagine the chaos and the courage as wagons are hastily loaded and horses gallop with wild abandon. The deafening clamor of wagon wheels and the cries of frightened children merge with the pounding of their hearts. The once-familiar landscapes transform into a haunting tableau of uncertainty and raw emotion.
Along the winding roads and dense forests, heroes are born. Ordinary men and women rise to the occasion, offering assistance, shelter, and support to their fellow Texans. The spirit of resilience and camaraderie becomes a beacon of hope in the darkest of times.
But danger lurks at every turn. Mexican soldiers patrol the countryside, their presence a constant threat. Evading capture becomes a high-stakes game of cat and mouse. The tension mounts as the Texian refugees press on, haunted by the specter of enemy pursuit.
Through the sheer force of their will, the determined Texians persevere. Their journey is fraught with danger, uncertainty, and unimaginable sacrifices. The Runaway Scrape becomes a defining moment in their quest for freedom, an indelible chapter etched in the annals of Texas lore.
As the dust settles and the echoes of the Runaway Scrape fade into history, the indomitable spirit of the Texians endures. Their unwavering resolve in the face of adversity becomes an enduring testament to the human spirit's unyielding pursuit of liberty.
The Runaway Scrape, a saga of resilience and daring, reminds us that even in the darkest times, the flicker of hope can ignite a wildfire of determination. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of those who shaped the course of Texas history, leaving an indelible mark on the tapestry of American bravery and resilience – God Bless Texas Women!
