The Diary of Jerrod Bently is a two book series that tells the story of a young man's adventures when he leaves his home on the rough steets of New York City to become a cowpuncher in the post Civil War West. Upon his arrival in the small town of Grant's Creek Texas, he finds work as a drover on a cattle drive about to leave for a distant railhead in Kansas. Only problem is, Jerrod has never been on a horse, nor has he been around cattle. He must learn fast, and so he does from his new found, but strange friend, the soft spoken, Sam Dodge..who is hiding a BIG secret.
We both sobbed and clutched one another. We kissed again, our faces wet with tears. A long, kiss moving our hands all over each other. I opened my eyes. Marty's brown eyes stared into mine, smoldering.
The next morning, the car was loaded up, behind it a pick-up truck with dilapidated furniture on it, and that was the last I saw of Marty for years. We wrote and kept in touch, talked on the phone, but not a lot, living in different parts of the country.
He was upstate for a while, then in the Carolinas, then Florida.

He won a needle point championship for small tapestries and country scenes. He started a business selling what he made, but had to charge too much to be very profitable.
He applied for a clerk's position in a small prison Just outside New Jersey. Six months later doing more than others, he got promoted to become the warden's assistant. The warden had a heart attack shortly after his training.

Before long, he was so organized, his secretary and assistant did most of the work. With a lot of spare time on his hands, he began to take an interest in the prisoners. He asked them about their lives, treated them with kindness, and offered them advice on a multitude of things including how to stay out of prison.
