Friday, March 17, 2006Yee-Haw  Going on site to research a book always brings some unexpected surprises. I drove to the small Texas town my 2007 book will be set in. First stop is always the library. Then the Historical Society. Between those two places, you gather the names of people in the community who are "in the know" and start calling on them. Along the way you stop at every historical marker you see, read it and take notes.I met some pretty colorful characters. One fella wanted to show me a few artifacts he had out in the old brick yard. I figured we'd get in the car and drive over. Nope. The mode of transportation was a bit more exciting than that (see above photo). And I bet y'all thought all us Texans still ride horses everywhere. Horses. Ha! ;-)
