The Author
Dng Davis is an author based in West Texas, U.S.A.
It is a rugged land where cattle, cotton, and oil sustain the inhabitants of the small towns.
The Idaburg Stories are fictional accounts of the happenings in one such small West Texas town.
It is a place where people know their neighbors and where stories linger. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse.
It is a place where "Howdy" "Y'all" and "yes ma'am" maybe the most common words uttered.
The Idaburg stories don't necessarily fit into the common literary boxes.
Haley at the Bat is a cross between a sports story, a romance, and growing up in a small town story.
If you will, a sportmance.
The stories are not necessarily the same. Some feature sports, an important part of the towns. Some, do not.
They are stories about relationships, small town morals, and a way of life.
Enjoy the cast of characters who weave through the various books bringing the fictional town of Idaburg to life.
