Welcome to Ballard & Jordan
Stories rooted in grit, memory, and the American frontier.
Ballard & Jordan is the creative partnership of a father and daughter with a shared love of storytelling, history, and the quiet power of memory. Our work explores the overlooked corners of the American past—where ordinary people face extraordinary choices, and the line between right and wrong is as muddy as a Texas trail in spring.
We write with a historian’s eye and a poet’s heart, drawing on family stories, archival research, and a deep respect for the voices that shaped this country.
Whether it’s a boy carrying dispatches through a revolution, a veteran haunted by what he’s seen, or a family trying to hold together on the edge of the frontier—our stories are about resilience, reckoning, and the ties that bind.
Series
Echoes of the Texas Frontier
Echoes of the Texas Frontier is more than a single story—it’s a sweeping historical fiction series that explores the grit, heart, and legacy of the American frontier through the eyes of unforgettable characters.
The series includes:
- BANTA
- The Ridge Remembers (In Progress)
- Alex (In Progress)
- Untitled Book 4
And that’s just the beginning; more stories are already taking shape behind the scenes.
Each book in the Echoes of the Texas Frontier series stands on its own, but together they echo the voices of the past—stories of family, survival, and the untamed spirit of the Texas frontier, in war times and peace.
You’ll find crossover characters, hidden connections, and subtle Easter eggs woven throughout the series—little gifts for readers who love to dig deeper and discover the threads that bind generations together.
