You Know You're A Texan If...

by Mike Nichols, J.D. Crowe (Illustrator)

You know you're a Texan if your husband s belt buckle is so big and round that it affects local tides. Or your wife s hairdo is so big and round that it has smaller hairdos orbiting around it. Texas author and humorist Mike Nichols expounds on just the wackiest things that make one a true son or daughter of this singular State of Mind. Illustrated by award-winning cartoonist J.D. Crowe. This small gem -- 4.25'' X 5.5'' -- makes a perfect house gift for a newcomer to the Lone Star state or a stocking stuffer for a displaced Texan needing a refresher course.

He worked twenty-three years for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram as a copy editor, humor columnist, and travel writer. As a travel writer, he schlepped his suitcases and cameras to more than forty countries on all seven continents before he realized that his favorite destination in the world is his own backyard. His first novel, Balaam Gimble’s Gumption, was named “Funniest Texas Book of 2004” by the Texas Institute of Letters. His Lone Star noir comic thriller Live from the Boneyard will be published in spring 2015 by John M. Hardy Publishing Company.
