Might there be any other fans out there of the late, Grand-Prairie author, Benjamin Capps?

Also, in Capps' novel, A Woman of the People, a singular, flat-topped hill -- mesa -- figures prominently in Helen's (Tehanita's) journey and consciousness throughout the story. This lone mesa was placed by Capps in the vicinity of the West Fork of the Trinity River. While a fictional setting, could there have been a particular hill -- anchored in reality -- which served as an inspiration to Benjamin Capps?
