Have you TRIED writing a TEXAS book and trotting it to the Regional
Publishers?
Just thinking aloud.
I mean, if you want to unroll your Texas voice... I know Half Price Books
has an entire aisle of "Texan" stuff.

Only I'm making myself promise I don't get to buy anything (yeah, right)
until I've wittled down the reading queue towers some.....

Anyway.
ENJOY....
