New Stories I’ve Been Told- Volume 2
25 Portraits of Rural Texans

“Elaine Thomas demonstrates a rare affinity for portraying the lives of rural Texans, especially those who have been around a while. This collection of 25 non-fiction stories may have begun as friendly chats across kitchen tables, but Elaine has transformed them into memorable accounts that are well worth reading and preserving.” Mike Cox, Elected member of the Texas Institute of Letters and award-winning author of more than 35 non-fiction books

Do Memories Matter?

The story of telling stories

Have you ever wished you had asked someone in your family to share stories about their lives, but it’s now too late? I think we all share that regret. That’s why today is a great time to start writing down some of your memories.

What’s worth remembering

Years ago, the tradition of passing down stories in a family was very common, but that’s not the case today. Whether it’s because our lives are so busy and we spend less time together or we live greater distances apart,  some of our cherished family stories are getting lost between generations. You can do something about that!

My stories love company! I’ll send you an email when I post a new one if you sign up here.
Let’s stay in touch.

 

Thanks! Elaine
