TEXAS IN HER OWN WORDS evolved out of Tweed Scott’s 4,000 mile quest to discover the heart and soul of Texas and in particular what it is about Texans ¯ a “T” Chromosome? ¯ that makes them so proud. Included are interviews with Willie Nelson, Liz Carpenter, Darrell Royal and other famous (and some not so famous but grass root) Texans. These "Texan Words" are sprinkled throughout in a unique mix of fascinating factoids and photos characteristic of Texas pride along with articles about such things as the Texas State Cemetery, Rules for Moving to Texas and Showing Texas Pride. Discover the Texas mystique and catch a glimpse into the Texas psyche with your own copy of TEXAS IN HER OWN WORDS. Texas gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman says, "Tweed Scott has done a great service to Texas. He might, I believe, even make a pretty fair Lt. Governor. But politics, of course, is never as important as people and places and the cowboy poetry of the heart. Texas In Her Own Words is chock-full of all of these things. It deserves a special place on your bookshelf. Say right between Larry McMurtry and J. Frank Dobie." The perfect gift, TEXAS IN HER OWN WORDS is a work of art that can be enjoyed by book enthusiasts of all ages.

Texas: In Her Own Words

Stroke

Set on the Texas Gulf Coast, STROKE is the story of a young woman’s quest to compete in the male-dominated world of professional pool. 
Rich in images and accurate in the nuances of the game, Miller captures our attention with a title that at first glance might conjure up images of hypertension. But STROKE is aptly named. Pool players know that being "in stroke" is akin to basketball players being "in the zone." 
Refreshingly, STROKE is not just another pool hustle novel. Sedonia Forbes, raised by a single-parent father who fostered her athletic skills and encouraged her competitive nature, wins the U. S. Amateur Women’s Golf Championship and is heralded as an up-and-coming, female Tiger Woods. 
But before Sedonia turns professional, she receives two crushing blows. The first is the death of her father, and the second is a severe shoulder injury that precludes her ever playing golf again. These losses bring her life to a standstill. 
When the story opens, Sedonia’s competitive nature and her need to excel begin to kindle a new fire among the ashes of her heartbreak. Leaving the country-club life behind, she enters the green felt, poolroom jungle.
