Histories of little towns in Texas. Information about them in the area, the townspeople, how they got to be named " " and just lots of interesting information.

Mel Belyle has come to town, and no one’s happy to see him. He’s the new point man for the corporation that’s trying to buy up land and turn Crystal Creek into suburbia. He’s also public enemy number one, or so the Concerned Citizens have decided. Kitt Mitchell, native daughter (but quite happy to forget about that), is a reporter sent from New York. Her job?

Not long after moving to Texas, now over fourteen years ago, I realized that there are so many small towns with extraordinary history and unique names. From going to Port Isabel on my honeymoon, to riding with my truck driver husband through more small towns than I can write about. What an adventure it was to experience all the places with all the unique names and wonder why and how they all came to be. This led me to sharing my imaginative and heartfelt experiences with my readers.
