Dennis Snyder, Author of the Lake Haven Murders series and the Looking at Life Through the Bible Series, has been writing non-fiction for over twenty years. His move into the fiction genre has been well received. He and his wife are the proud parents of two adult children and the grandparents of a beautiful grand daughter.
Dennis is a pastor of a local church in Michigan.
When Dennis is not preaching he enjoys riding his Harley, golfing and spending time with his wife.
Dennis, introduce us to the story concept. Where did it come from
and share one thing that surprised you in your research
When I
returned home I got to thinking about the comment and started to do a little
bit of research and the next thing you know I was hooked. Six months later the
book was finished. Of course my imagination plays a big part in the story line,
it is fiction after all.
As I did the
research o secession I was impressed with the fact that Texas could actually
secede and make a real go of it. The have the energy grid, the sea port and the
infrastructure to pull it off. I hope they never have to secede but we are
seeing more and more people fed up with out current administration and where it
is taken our country. Of course, the Scriptures are clear we are to respect and
pray for our president and others in authority over us. We had better be doing
that first and foremost.
What do you love about this book?
I enjoyed
writing the book and I feel its greatest point deals with the freedoms we
have as US Citizens and the dangers that lurk in our political administrations
to squash those freedoms. So, If some eyes are opened to this fact then I have
done my job.
What do you hope readers will tell others about this book
after they’ve finished reading it?
I
think these two reviewers sum it up:
“If you are concerned about the direction
this administration is taking our country I would strongly encourage you to
read this book. We found The Yellow Rose of Texas a novel of extreme relevance
in today's political charged environment. “
