Don't forget we also know the true pronounciation of El Dorado..Poe's gallant knight may have been searching for El Dorado, but he should have looked in El DorAdo KS:D
My dh's parents were from Arkansas, and it drove his dad crazy whenever he heard someone talk about the ARkansas river:rolleyes:

I find the false beliefs about our fair state funny. We really do have green grass, not black and white like that stupid movie!! I don't know anyone who has a litle dog named Toto..and no, we haven't had to fight Indians on our way to school for several years now. We still have Marshall Dillion and Miss Kitty to keep them and the cattle rustlers in line...
 
Irregardless of stereotypes, I'll leave the book by the large bin with the red clock.:p Honestly though, my wife is terrified of Omaha. One way roads, those buildings!, and not to mention that we hear about something bad from tehre on the news every night. Heck, crime in my town is when the town drunk falls off of the water tower after a few too many.
 
There was a murder in my town about 13 years ago..
But lately we've had a scare because two convicts escaped from an Oklahoma prison. One turned himself in a few miles (20 minutes) away from here. So I heard Sunday night that the schools, post office, and pharmacy were locked during regular hours til the other guy was found. Apparently his ex-wife and sister-in-law have gone into hiding. This guy is a convicted murderer, and was abusive to his wife and kids. They all live in the Wichita area. Stuff happens everywhere these days. When we visited relatives in Arkansas they asked us weren't we scared of the gangs up here..
 
And Kansas also has a writer from Emporia that has written many books, they take place in the Flint Hills,......and I think I have them all. :) :p
 
Yup, that would be Don Coldsmith. He has a stand alone book that's very good too. I can't think of the title at the moment..I've always loved the story of how he got the idea for the Trail of the Spanish Bit. If its a lie, its a dang good one:cool:
There are several published writers from Kansas. I can't think of them at the moment..Nancy Moser is one; at least two are romance writers. One lives in Wichita, and the other in Goddard(that's Leslie LaFoy) and I met her a couple of years ago. I met another Kansas writer this past summer at our local library when he did a presentation for kids. His books were fun, but he was a blowhard..
 
I recieved the Book Lust yesterday. mehastings, I'll pm you when I'm ready for your snail mail. And put me in line for the next bookring, too.
