Echo Falls Texas: Between the Chapters
From Patti's Kitchen
The Defenders: Baxter Trilogy
Some stories are too small for a novel -- but too important to leave untold.
Between the Chapters is where I share births, weddings, hometown moments, and quiet turning points that happen beyond the pages of the Echo Falls novels.
The WADF Cookbooks are from my family archives found at WorthADamnFood.com. I "borrow" many of these special recipes for Olivia Applegate's kitchen and Cait Hunter's, too.
The Defenders: Baxter Trilogy come from many of the teams' missions, their home life, and special events. Eventually, this will include QM International Missions and more from Hunt and Cait from the Luck series - watch for The Defenders: Hold The Line coming in 2027.
These short stories are available to members of my Red Sofa Club magazine first. Free. All of them. If you'd like to be part of those moments, pull up a seat and subscribe below. The Red Sofa Club Magazine issues will also be available a few weeks later on this page. Go to the bottom and click on the magazine cover. It will take you to Book Funnel to download a copy. Why do I do it this way? Because I know some of you love to be first to see what's next, and some of you have email fatigue and want to get the information in your own time and space. I'm happy to make a place for every reader. Join me on the sofa, friends! Let's read.

Hometown True, Echo Falls Between the Chapters, #1
Book Funnel Edition, 2026
It’s the busiest week of the year for the Echo Falls Fire Department—and the longest week of Juliette Caldwell’s life.
Nine months pregnant, exhausted, and battling false labor, Juliette is counting minutes while her firefighter husband, Adam, is pulled in every direction by Texas heat, fireworks, and emergencies that won’t wait.
When labor hits fast and help is miles away, Echo Falls does what it always does—neighbors step in, lines blur, and a family is born in the middle of chaos.
Hometown True is a story about love under pressure, service without hesitation, and a town where showing up for one another matters most.

The Defenders: Baxter Trilogy #1 : No One Left Behind
Available Now
Book Funnel Edition
Robert Baxter made his choice the day he joined the Navy – brotherhood above everything. Now, in his first days on an active SEAL team, that promise is no longer theory. It’s real. It’s relentless. And it demands everything he has.
His mother understands the life he’s chosen. The long absences. The silence. The risk. The women he’s tried to build something with? Not so much. Relationships fracture under the weight of distance, secrecy, and a world that doesn’t wait for him to come home.
And for the first time, Baxter is forced to confront a hard truth.
You can’t hold onto everything.
Not in this life. Not without a fight.
