If someone from the USA is traveling in another country and is asked where he or she is from, more often than not the answer will be The U.S. or America. An exception would be if the person is from Texas, in which case the answer, almost invariably, will be Texas. Texans are a proud lot and have a tendency to think of themselves as Texans first and Americans second. That does not make them disloyal to their country. It is something that is born into them and instilled throughout childhood and Texas History classes in high school and college.In many ways, Daniel Jason has captured the essence of a Texas oil man's way of living and thinking in this novel. The hero is Matthew Wolverine, a wealthy, handsome, strong-willed, marathon running Texan who is supported by a beautiful wife, children, neighbors and friends. He is also greatly helped and supported by an Argentinean mystery man and his two bodyguards. Texas Secedes is a gripping, action packed novel in which the reader will most assuredly identify with and become personally involved with many of the characters. It is a beautiful story about love, religion, standing for something, taking action and difficult decisions. In many instances, action is fast and furious as dangerous and difficult situations are dealt with.This work of fiction is so relevant to conditions existing in Texas in the early 21st century, that the reader may find himself wondering if it doesn't contain some kernels of reality and truth.We predict that you will find the rapid fire dialogue an easy read and that you will find yourself so caught up in this most intriguing story that you will have difficulty putting it down before you finish reading it.
Über die Autorinnen und Autoren:
Background: Daniel N Jason, Author of Texas Secedes As a child, Daniel craved adventure. He thought nothing of climbing fifty feet up into an apple tree so that he could eat the sweetest apple at the very top of the tree. He reasoned, If Tarzan can do it, so can I. To Daniel, the line between fantasy and reality were blurred. He entertained his friends with stories of horses, dogs and cats who fought terrifying monsters.His mind keeps asking what if. His dyslexic mind immediately conjured up 27 different possible solutions to every scene he witnessed. He invented stories in which the heroes encountered hair splitting twists and turns that captivated the attention of his friends. They were always asking him to tell his latest story.Daniel had no fear of animals and the animals, mostly dogs and cats, loved him. The animals sensed he would not hurt them and the relationship he enjoyed with them allowed a form of mental communications to develop between him and the animals. He truly felt that he could talk to animals and be understood by them.Daniel had an imaginary friend named Charlie who was a very bad person. Every bad act was blamed on Charlie. Broke things, messed up room bed unmade, threw stones.Unlike most young people, when Daniel went to the movies, it was not to be entertained. He analyzed every scene and dwelled upon how the plot could be improved upon. He felt then, as he does now, that a book or a movie needs to bring the reader into the story in order that he or she can feel the cold water splashing into their faces, feel the exhilaration of the battle as the scene unfolds or feel their stomachs drop as they ride a really fast horse.In school, he became known as a real story teller. He would make up stories to tell to his friends and observe their reactions. He then drew on this experience to rewrite them in a way that would deeper grasp a reader's attention. His goal then, as now, is to write stories so intriguing that the reader becomes intimately involved and is inspired to new heights and accomplishments.Visit www.TexasSecedes.com for more information on this latest novel.
