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.

There’s more to the famous tale of how Lyndon Johnson bulldozed his way into the U.S. Senate on the strength of 87 questionable votes. This is the story of a political boss and the sophisticated small-town lawyer who brings him to his knees. It’s the story of a hired gun hiding in Mexico and the Texas Ranger who haunts his trail. It’s the story of a political assassination gone wrong, of intrigue that begins in a murky 1948 election and ends at the doorstep of a vice president promoted in crisis. In short, Texas Mutiny: Bullets, Ballots and Boss Rule is a tale of the Wild West in modern times. Texas Mutiny is a true story told in novel form and related by a fictional newspaper reporter. It is set in a forsaken part of Texas where barren soil, mesquite and a burning sun shape the fortunes of the people. Vast poverty and incredible wealth live side by side in this land, making it fallow for corruption, deception, vote stealing, embezzlement and every sort of vice. Texas Mutiny is about the struggle to topple the oppressive feudal order that gripped the people of this land for generations
