“Unidentified Texas Objects: Tales from the Weird, Wild West” is Carol Walt’s latest book (AuthorHouse, $16, softcover).
The novel is a collection of short stories and a novella set in the fictional town of Brangus which has certain similarities to the West Texas town of Cross Plains.
“The stories are meant to be amusing, perhaps thought provoking, and some of them have a little surprise for the reader,” she writes.
This is Walt’s fifth novel, and if you read one of her books, you will probably go back for more. She is that good.
“Unidentified Texas Objects” begins with a story set at an Abilene Air Force base (called Dugeness instead of Dyess). Tillie, from Brangus, has an appointment with a general to tell him about these weird sightings she has witnessed.
He seems to take her seriously, and in fact he takes her more seriously than she is led to believe. Meanwhile, all evidence of her visit to the base is obliterated.
“Buck and Sissy” is a tale of two lovers who turn out to be — well, let’s not spoil the story.
Walt even features herself as the main character in one story, “Stranger Than Fiction,” that involves investigators from the Department of Public Safety and the federal Homeland Security office.
Walt will sign copies of her books from 6-7:30 p.m. Thursday, July 9, during ArtWalk in downtown Abilene at Texas Star Trading Co., 174 Cypress St. |
