As part of the celebrations of our major anniversaries, starting with the 25th, North Texas has put together three anthologies.
Our anthologies include:
Love Texas Style
Rugged men. Spirited women. Romance as breathtaking as the Texas landscape.
From the Boot Scootin' Bliss and Roadside Grill to the slick Dallas skyscrapers and all the highways and ranches in between, this heartwarming collection of love stories by debut and award-winning authors celebrates the heroism and passion found only in the Lone Star State.
As part of NT's 25th anniversary celebration in 2008, the chapter sponsored a short story contest, and the twelve best were published in this anthology by The Wild Rose Press. Although the anthology is no longer available from The Wild Rose Press, copies may be found on Amazon.

Lone Star Love
Welcome to Dew Drop, Texas, the iced tea capital of Texas. This year's Iced Tea Festival is chock full of love. Lone Star Love is available for free from SmashWords.
To celebrate the chapter's 35th anniversary in 2018, NT authors came together to write a continuity -- all stories take place in fictional Dew Drop, Texas, during the annual Iced Tea Festival. While each story focuses on different main characters, you might see familiar faces and places show up in each.
Founded in 1867 by Virginia settlers and originally called New Hampton, the town changed its name to Dew Drop in 1947 although it didn’t celebrate its first Iced Tea Festival until 1983. The festival was held as a way to raise funds to build a Vietnam Veterans memorial. A high number of Dew Drop men and a handful of women served their country during the conflict.
The festival was so successful, the town opted to continue the tradition. Each year, during the second weekend in August, Thursday through Saturday, the town, located in southeastern Palo Pinto County, welcomes close to 10,000 visitors. We hope you'll join them.
