takes a fictional look at the secession
of Texas from the United States of America. President Nicholas Watson takes

eliminate any mention of religion from the government including disallowing
religious holidays. Taxes have increased, entitlement programs have flourished
and gun control has attempted to disarmed the U.S. Citizenship. The military
force has been cut by forty-five percent leaving the U.S. vulnerable. In the
eyes of the conservatives the new President is finishing the plunge of the
United States to the bottom of World dominance.
Texas, on the other hand, is debt free
and the economy is booming. They now have complete control of the Mexico/Texas
border and have all but eliminated the drug cartel operations in the border
towns. Governor Halford Bent, has helped Texas to become self-sufficient and
has now decided it is time to break away from the control of a Federal
Government destined to failure. The Texas Militia, led by Colonel James Bowie,
has secured the border.
Martial Law is instituted by
President Watson and he launches an all out effort to stop the secession. The
Scaled down United States Marines are called upon to ready themselves for a
military take over of Texas. Detention camps are set up to hold Texans and
sympathizers caught outside the Texas borders. The fear of another Civil War
looms on the horizon as we find father against son and brother against brother
in the struggle for Sovereignty.

Dennis, introduce us to the story concept. Where did it come from
and share one thing that surprised you in your research
I was
enjoying a breakfast meal with six or so men from our church and we were
discussing my newly released book “Personal Vengeance” when one of the men made
a comment, “Your next book should be about Texas seceding from the Union.” My
response was, “What do I know about that?”
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. “
“Though
a work of fiction, the reality of the story is very true to life. It is fast
paced and full of action and adventure. I found it easy to follow the storyline
as it twist and turned throughout the book. It was very hard to put down and
when it ended I was left wanting the next book to see where the story goes.”
