Slaughter at Goliad: The Mexican Massacre of 400
Texas Volunteers by Jay A. Stout

"Jay Stout deftly details the little-known and deeply disturbing tale of blunder and bluff that, on Palm Sunday 1836, led to the incredible Mexican massacre of hundreds of American captives at a long-forgotten Texas outpost. Powerful and fascinating." W.E.B. Griffin, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author

"This is not just another historical fiction book. It is an authentic and compelling look at the men and women who represented the best of Texas, and America, in facing life's great challenges with more faith, determination, and bravery then most modern Americans can imagine. Ritzer spins a tale rooted in the True Texas few understand. His outsider, Roman Catholic, traditional Republican take on Texas history adds a new dimension I've wanted to read but have not found in other novels. Once you become friends with the novel's characters, you'll want to cheer for them, pray for them, hug them, help them, and know them as neighbors." - Robert Pratt

:...a love letter to the state of Texas." - Amazon reviewer

A Different Point of Blue by D.G. Flewellyn

"D.G. shows his incredible intellect and depth of emotion along with masterful musicianship in this CD. "Daddy Still Sings" is among the greatest honor-thy-father-and-mother songs ever penned and recorded. No exaggeration. It will have the toughest hombre in tears. Simply beautiful. D.G. has given us a window into the bittersweet memories of our parents from the honest and loving perspective possible." - Robert Pratt

Dancer, Texas Pop. 81

Dancer, Texas covers two days in the life of four members of the graduating class of Dancer, Texas's high school class. (There's five members in total). Dancer is one of those small, forgotten town in West Texas -- the type of town that's watched its fortunes fall along with the oil industry and where everyone, at some point, plans to leave but most never do. The four friends have all sworn to leave after graduation and during this day, they discover the beauty of their past and the hope of their uncertain futures. Its an amazingly low-key film, the type that sneaks up on you and, in its low-key way, is amazingly compelling. - Amazon reviewer
