Gone are the cliché cowboys and tumbleweeds of routine Texas fiction from days gone by. Mike Lowrie's Texas stories feature a wide and varied cast of characters and events, such as the day to day goings-on in a major symphony orchestra in \"The Piano Tuner\", or a strong independent woman taking care of herself - and others - in \"She's No Barbie\". Young African American boys are the heroes in \"Good Deeds\". There's even a lesbian biker gang in \"Texas Clam Bake\". Drawing from his own experiences growing up in Texas, the author writes from the perspective of a different character in each story, capturing the essence of a different kind of Texas - and different kinds of Texan. The stories may be tall, but there is a wonderful ring of truth about all of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 104\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 07, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51780075127072,"sku":"9781943492916","price":17.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/16eb130c3219ba98afc3018add6b88f5.webp?v=1780521736","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/texas-tall-short-stories-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
