One thing I think is great about Texas is the vast expanse. We used to travel through Tex on the way to the Rockies and the West Coast. And we'd always say: "The sun is riz and the sun is set ... and we ain't out of Texas yet."
Yes, I'd love the book.

I like everything about Texas except TxDOT.
Babz said…
I love the cover of the book too.
And, on a more serious note, I love Texas winters. I love the Texas Hill Country.

I'd have to say that what I love about Texas is the history as well as the parts of Texas I've seen. El Paso,Corpus Christi,Amarillo and Shamrock. I have always felt welcome anytime I have been in Texas. Probably the Friendliest state I've ever visited.

Well, there are a lot of other things I like about Texas. For one thing, there are half a dozen different kinds of areas within Texas. I once took a friend from NY to Dallas and he looked around as we drove through East Texas. He was literally stunned. "I thought it all looked like the western movies" he said.
I said, no, there's flat & dry, green & lush, high & low, etc.
Plus, my big brother was worn in Fr. Worth in 1947.

Uh, I meant my brother was BORN in FORT Worth ... good grief.

LOL Jeff, no problem.

CONTEST IS NOW OFFICIALLY CLOSED!!

It's Worth A Fortune

Happy Tuesday Everyone, Does anyone remember the song If I Had A Million Dollars by Barenaked Ladies ? I can't remember when or how I was first introduced to this song, but it's a fun song. So, how about if you had a million dollars? What would you do with it? Of course there's the responsible things to do with a million dollars--pay off debts, and such like that. Then there's the question of whether or not you give to charities, and how much. But, suppose you answered all those questions and you still had quite a lot left; what would you do with it? Maybe I'd go to Disney World. I've wanted to go, and I've never been able to. Or, perhaps I'd go to Germany and England, and Belgium (three of the countries my ancestors are from). Travel around seeing family and friends I don't see often. There's all kinds of possibilities. So, what about you? What would you do with a million dollars? Have A Tremendous Tuesday!

Spotlight On Author: Loretta Wheeler

Happy Tuesday Everyone, There's a gem of an author I've had the privilege of coming across...I'm talking about my friend, Loretta Wheeler. She's a sweetheart and very talented author. I enjoyed her YA Paranormal novella, The Pan Man immensely. And, she also writes Romance. So without further ado, come into my parlor and meet Loretta Wheeler: Me:  In your YA novelette, The Pan Man , you mention Pan's looking for his long lost soul mate. What made you choose Pan out of all the Greek/Roman gods and goddesses? Loretta:  I chose the Greek god Pan, because of the connection with the music. I found later on in the story, (my stories take over and write themselves usually) it applied even more than I realized because of the band's name. I won't mention the name of the band in here, because it's part of the surprise ending. Me:  You're mostly known for your Romance stories. How would you describe your writing style? Hot, suspenseful, sensual, sw...

Myths About Writers

Afternoon Folks, I thought we'd do a post to dispel some of the myths people seem to have about writers. I'll put the ones that first come to mind then y'all can chime in. Myth: Writing is a great way to make a lot of money. I'm not sure exactly how this one matriculated. Probably in the wake of some of the big best sellers (i.e. Stephen King, Anne Rice, Stephenie Meyer, JK Rowling, and the like) but most of the time writers put in more money for their writing than they do get out of it. Generally a writer doesn't make a ton of money unless somehow his/her book is a blockbuster hit and blasts through what the author owes in the advance (which is paid back to publishers through royalties). Most writers I've met and talked to are not millionaires. I'm not saying it can't happen, I'm saying it's not one of those things that's automatic. Myth: Writing Is Easy Anybody Can Do It. Okay, granted this isn't entirely a myth, but it's not ent...
