Tweed again, I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to the Round Rock Public Library and the citizens of Round Rock for you support of Texas In Her Own Words. It really was like a dream come true to have the city choose this little book that could. We have been so blessed by its acceptance. I congratualte the efforts of the staff as I know they have worked very hard to bring you quality programming. Dale, Linda, Michelle et al. for the Round Rock residents, you are blessed to have such a fine caring facility in your midst. You have a treasure right there in downtown. I'm sorry to see the program end....this just means I have to go write another book. By the way, Dale thank you for the suggestions, Zee and I talked about it on the way home from Barnes & Noble...Which reminds me, I'd like to thank Frank Campbell at Barnes & Nobles at LaFrontera for all his help too. This man is a class act and great for the literary community. he's become a good friend too. Again, from from the bottom of my heart, thank you for teh honor of being chosen for the 2008 Round Rock Reads program. I hope to work with y'all again.

I'd personally like to invite everyone to come out for the Round Rock Reads book discussion of Texas In Her Own Words, Thursday night at 7pm at the LaFrontera Barnes & Noble. I'd be happy to answer any of your questions and talk about the publishing business. Bringing this book to life is a fascinating story in itself. I could write a book about how the book became a book. Come on out and join in on the fun. I'd love to meet you.

You're right Linda. One of the themes that comes out of Ttexas In Her Own Words is that Texas is about pride and people. Texans are a welcoming bunch. They know how to treat people right. I think much of that comes from their heritage. Texans have always been needy people. You needed your neighbor and your neighbor needed you. Texas was such a brutally tough place to be. You couldn't make it here alone. Texans came together for the common good. It ws true then and it's just as true today.
