TW LAWRENCE

I write what I love, and I love Texas. My stories, novels, and screenplays are about, or in some way touch on, my San Antonio upbringing. The fictive nature of these tales is meant to show how I see the Lone Star State, both past and present, from my vantage point in south Texas. There is a little of me in each of the characters. And, I strive to put the readers into each imagined setting in a vivid way.

Years ago, I discovered that I could make people, whom I had yet to meet, actually break into tears or burst into laughter. I knew then that I had the gift of words. So, my goal now is to grab the reader by the metaphorical guts, pull them through the narrative, and then let them go at last. I want to hear later that they believed they were actually standing there next to the Hero witnessing the clash with the Protagonist first hand.

While my stories do deal with a lot of cowboys, horses, and open Texas spaces, I learned from a number of readers who picked up my books by accident that my audience is actually anyone who loves a story told well. The narratives touch all the human senses. Not only does the reader hear what goes on, but tastes and smells it, too.

So, come join our literary journey.
