Edinburg, TX— The Dustin Michael Sekula Memorial Library invites the public to meet local author W.F. Strong. The author will promote his book – Stories from Texas: Some of Them Are True. Vol II – at the library on Thursday, July 22 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. This 2021 release is the sequel to 2018’s Stories From Texas: Some of Them Are True. The first book contained 70 Texcentric stories about Texas history and culture, famous Texans and iconic brands. This new volume continues those themes with 65 new stories that celebrate the beautiful and diverse histories of the Lone Star State and its peoples. W.F. Strong is a Fulbright scholar and Professor of Communication at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. He grew up in South Texas and holds degrees in Communication and Literature from Abilene Christian University and the University of North Texas, as well as a Doctorate in Communication and Rhetoric from the University of Arizona. His storytelling influences range from Mark Twain, on whom he wrote his doctoral dissertation, to former public-radio host Garrison Keillor. Strong has pursued a lifelong fascination with Texas literature, history and culture, having immersed himself in the classic books of the great Texas novelists and historians, from Walter Prescott Webb's ''Indians of Texas'' to Larry McMurtry's ''Lonesome Dove'' series to Philipp Meyer's ''The Son.'' He grew up working on farms and ranches in South Texas and so has had a long connection with the Texas soil, as did his ancestors, who farmed and ranched in North Texas for more than a century. Two of his distant forebears signed the Texas Declaration of Independence from Mexico. This familial history has nurtured his love for the vibrancy of Texas culture, both historical and modern. The event is free and open to the public. Seating is limited so come early to ensure a seat. For more information, contact Raúl Martínez at 956-383-6246. The Dustin Michael Sekula Memorial Library is located at 1906 South Closner Boulevard in Edinburg, TX.
