Chasing the Ponytail
Set in the late 50s and early 60s in small town Texas, I tell my love story of growing up in the age of innocence. I knew I was in love with the ponytail, but as an impetuous teenager, my priorities weren't always in the right place. Only after losing her, did I realize that I had to change to win her heart again. Let me go back to those days, sharing my memories when I came of age.

About the author
Rob Tenery
5 books8 followersRob Tenery, MD, is an ophthalmologist who first began his writing career when he authored commentaries dealing with current events that were impacting the health care profession. His expertise acquired from representing medical organizations on a local, state and national level led him to become a monthly contributor to the nationally distributed periodical, American Medical News, from 1990–1998.
It was toward the end of his tenure when he decided to put to paper a more comprehensive look at the evolution of his chosen profession, resulting in the publication of his first book, Dr. Mayo’s Boy: A Century of American Medicine. He then followed with his second and third books, In Search of Medicine’s Moral Compass and Bedside Manners. Both chronicle the delivery of health care in this country from its inception and the increasingly complex evolution of those who deliver care as they act as advocates for their patients.
Marrying his high school sweetheart, Janet, was the impetus for his fourth book, Chasing the Ponytail. A coming-of-age love story, set in the 1950s and early 1960s, as they grew up together in Waxahachie, Texas, and in a relationship through their college years.
Having a keen interest in the uncertainty on the world stage, Dr. Tenery’s latest novel, Insurrection at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, combines his experience in medicine with political intrigue, resulting in a scenario this country could face in the near future.
Dr. Tenery is a health (HealthZette) and political (PoliZette) contributor to the Laura Ingraham-owned website, LifeZette.com. Rob and Janet have two children and four grandchildren. He continues to practice ophthalmology, while writing weekly posts for his blog, Diagnosis for Democracy: Insights into the State of Our Union, and is working on his next novel.
