The cover picture actually came from our property in east Texas, and I convinced the publisher it was the right one to use. I'm happy you liked the cover. We went through several renditions before this one came out. <br />The bull rider was raised in Mesquite, a suburb of Dallas and noted for its rodeos. Actually, even in east Texas, they have rodeos each year which are a big deal to the small towns holding them. But, Mark (the bull rider in the book) came from Mesquite and learned the trade there. <br />Thanks for your comment. What part of Texas do you live in? James R.
