From the author of "Falling Hard in Hollywood", "The Pink Reich", "The Transient Realm", "Eight Founding Queens" -----In this collection of short stories, fictionalized historical details from a small town in east Texas are used to eulogize characters of whom, some, were true-to-life. Discover the before and after of adversity and the struggles that others had to endure to prevail. Follow me back to earlier times when life was simpler but not always simple. --- Earlier times when bigotry was the standard and its victims had to take matters into their own hands. When the color of one's skin or their gender squashed a dream before it even had a chance to launch. Watch life's drama unfold through the deceit and the detriment of pervasive gossip. See how easily assumptions are made only to find out that the facts make for a juicier reality than the lies ever could. ---Discover how one woman of color overcame the odds of oppression in order to allow her dream to soar. Watch the xenophobic efforts of a bigoted law officer and his cohort attempt to intimidate others only to have their fate sealed by rather mysterious circumstances. In the setting of mid-century America, observe a once taboo love unfold. ---Follow the journey of a major movie star back to his roots in a small town in Texas. Learn how the climb to fame can be a difficult ascent in which one must often compromise their morals. See how karma came calling for one impertinent soul whose narcissism was infinite. --- These stories and more are outlined in fictional portrayals of what were difficult outcomes. Peruse the pages of characters who may, or may not, have once existed. You might be surprised. As the reader, make your best guess while following The Winds of Waxahachie.
