A simple search of this e-text collection of fiction for "Texas" produced 420 hits, many merely one hit within the volume, some merely on the publisher's advertisement page of other titles.

Well, then, it's time to give fiction set in Texas a higher profile. If you want to read a new novel set in Texas (the real Texas, not a caricature of us), look up Angela 1: Starting Over at http://www.strageticpublishinggroup.com/title/Angela1.html
