Isha Patel is the black sheep of the family. She doesn't have a 'prestigious' degree or a 'real' career, as her parents never fail to remind her. But that's okay, because she commiserates with her cousin, best friend, and fellow outcast, Rohan. When Isha has a breakthrough getting her script in front of producers, it doesn't go according to plan. Instead of letting her dreams fall through the cracks, Rohan convinces her to snag a pitch session with an Austinite high-profile celeb: the one and only Matthew McConaughey, who also happened to be her professor at the University of Texas years ago - He has to remember her, right? Chasing Matthew McConaughey isn't easy. Isha needs a drink or two to muster up courage, and she gets a little help from the cutest bartender she's ever encountered. But when the search for the esteemed actor turns into a night of hijinks and unexpected - albeit fun - chaos, everything falls apart. Isha's dreams seem further than ever, but she soon realizes who she

Christ at the Coffee Shop's message speaks to the hearts of common people because it magnifies a God of the common places, the omnipotent Deity who happens to choose to make Himself known in the course of everyday events. Many of us would like to see God but can't find Him, believing that He only expresses Himself through blinding insights of peak experiences of some sort. If we must travel to the mountaintops to see God most of us will miss Him. This book brings Him near.

Growing up on a small farm in Tennessee before earning degrees from Harding University and Tennessee Technological University, Nathan has spent a lot of time with simple living, hard work, and everyday people. In Houston, Texas, where he does most of his work nowadays, Nathan sees a different side of the world where life is a little more complicated and the labor is not with his hands, but the people themselves are not much different. Nathan lives his life among the commonplace and sees a tremendous need for a God who is comfortable there.

In this swoony and spooky teen summer romance graphic novel set on a Texas ranch, sixteen-year-old Cade Muñoz finds himself falling for the ranch owner's mysterious and handsome son, only to discover that he may be harboring a dangerous secret. Cade has always loved to escape into the world of a good horror movie. After all, horror movies are scary--but to Cade, a closeted queer Latino teen growing up in rural Texas--real life can be way scarier. When Cade is sent to spend the summer working as a ranch hand to help earn extra money for his family, he is horrified. Cade hates everything about the ranch, from the early mornings to the mountains of horse poop he has to clean up. The only silver lining is the company of the two teens who live there--in particular, the ruggedly handsome and enigmatic Henry. But as unexpected sparks begin to fly between Cade and Henry, things get...complicated. Henry is reluctant to share the details of his mother's death, and Cade begins to wonder what else he might be hiding. Inspired by the gothic romance of Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey and perfect for fans of Heartstopper and Bloom comes a modern love story so romantic it's scary.

Beer Across Texas guides you to nearly three dozen breweries, microbreweries and brewpubs throughout the Lone Star State, from El Paso to Houston, from Lubbock to South Padre Island. You will meet brewers, discover how they have succeeded, get the identities of their top labels and find out what to look for when you go. You will also learn how to identify the distinctive tastes of the five basic styles of lagers and the seventeen major styles of ales.

This unique book comes in the wake of the craft beer revolution, as, according to a recent Gallup poll, beer has overtaken wine as Americans drink of choice. It includes an illustrated section on the heritage of Texas brewing, which dates to the 1840s, and a directory of departed breweries.

When the Wilder brothers return home after leaving the military and the lives they fought to build, they'll have to start from scratch and create roots when they had none before. They're moving to a new state, a new town, and with a new set of problems they never expected. Falling in love along the way isn't in the cards, but the Wilder brothers should know by now-you don't choose your fate, fate chooses you.

The Matador Land and Cattle Company

Rebecca Elise

After Aubrey Harrison wrecks her truck on a dark highway, an unexpected twist of fate catapults her from modern-day Texas to 1836, just weeks before the battle at the Alamo. She wakes up in the life of another woman, one who looks exactly like her.

Determined to find a way back, Aubrey avoids the striking young cattleman, Tapley Holland, and the complicated past he’s convinced they share. But she unwillingly finds herself engaged to the town's wealthiest and most powerful bachelor, a man with a cruel vendetta against Tapley. The deeper she falls into the past version of herself, the less she can deny her connection to Texas history and the desire she feels for cattleman.

At first, destiny seems to favor the lovers. But as the beautiful countryside prepares for one of the deadliest conflicts in history, Aubrey discovers that love is not bound by time.


When Aubrey Harrison wrecks her truck, she wakes up in the year 1836, in another woman's life. Struggling to understand her new reality, Aubrey connects with Tapley, a handsome cattleman with a tragic past. She is forced to take shelter within the walls of the Alamo, even though she knows that's the worst place she could be.

I didn't set out to write a book. I now believe that God had different plans. This book contains first my autobiography, from the day I was born until I had to stop adding because it was time to be published. The second part is my Sappy Channel, which contains my cancer journey as I recounted my days on Facebook, I was in the best shape of my life at the age of 41 until being diagnosed with lung cancer. I have never been a smoker, but was exposed to second-hand smoke growing up. I share this journey with you very raw and unedited. And finally, my Letters from Friends is more about how great our God is and how I believe he calls us to be in community with one another. He calls us to be His hands and feet in the good, the bad, the sick, and the healthy times!

To see Channel Williams, and to know her, you think... wow... everything she touches turns to gold. Everything she has set her mind to has become an incredible success. "Who wouldn't want to be her?", you think. What many dont know are the struggles she has had from early on and that continue today. There's not much this girl hasn't been through. Her latest being stage 4 lung cancer to include brain surgery. She is still struggling, but shes still here to tell her story and not going anywhere anytime soon. (another against all odds reality) Her book is amazing and is a must read. You will put it down at the end realizing what a blessed life we ALL have, and to enjoy every moment of every day. Glass half full is the way to see the world, but we all know its hard to see at times. If you want a good book, and want to help get it to publishing, I encourage you all to check out this link to find out more about the book and the amazing pre-sell deals she is doing. This is another endeavor that will turn to gold (be a part of it!). This is a book that will help so many. You wont be disappointed.
