In the novel Elvis Plays Texas, which is my Thesis project to meet the requirements for a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing/Fiction, a little town in far, far West Texas and its people are having a very difficult time and facing what promises to be a bleak future- a long, long drought has exhausted their water supply, oil has peaked and turned down, "fracking" threatens their way of life, friends and family and neighbors are loading up and leaving town. Then, Elvis Presley shows up. It's the 40th anniversary of the day he died, August 16, 1977, and he, spiritually though appearing in every way to be flesh and blood, is visiting those who've continued believing in him and to whom he had been particularly important during their younger lives. My own long history in that part of the country has played its considerable role in informing the setting, the tone, the atmosphere. These are the kinds of characters- strange birds all- I grew up with. The country is the southwestern desert, hot, dry, empty, big sky- the kind of neighborhood that lends itself to oddities like Elvis throwing a benefit concert to help them out of the economic ditch.

Contract with the King is a poignant novel about a group of University of Texas students who kidnap Elvis Presley in a valiant effort to save him from his poor health, destructive lifestyle, and addiction to prescription drugs. Paul Roberts and Tara Benoist, along with their close friends, hide a near comatose Elvis in the basement of an Austin, Texas rehab clinic and change his name to Aron to protect his privacy. After a short stay in rehab, they smuggle him to The Vineyard, an old, secluded ranch house nestled in the Texas Hill Country and rumored to be haunted. After Aron agrees to a five-month stay, he is encouraged to disguise his appearance by shaving his sideburns and getting a buzz cut. In the absence of radios, televisions, and telephones, the King's kidnappers use physically demanding hikes, spirited games of football, and porch stories to keep their patient sidetracked from the tortures inherent in withdrawal and recovery. While falling deeply in love, Paul and Tara lead the reader through a whirlpool of ulterior motives, emotional challenges, and euphoric situational highs. As Aron recovers, he reconnects with his daughter, his music, and the most loyal of his 50 million fans.

It's always been larger than life; an untamed land where a tin star can hide a dark heart and an outlaw might be your only friend. From the metroplex to the motel, Texas defines itself through its tall tales and truthful lies. Come travel the lost highways of the Lone Star State where the last cowboy band calls the tune, where a broken soul struggles to find a home, where preachers and Sunday school teachers seek sinful delights, and where politicians serve themselves before the public vice. Stand tall as heroes rise from burnt-out lands, from shots fired with no help in sight, from prison cells to honky tonks, to shadows cast by an outlaw moon, to the campfire's glow on a ghostly night. "Dead'r Than Elvis: Tall Tales of Texas Bullsh*t" is a collection of modern myths celebrating the good, the bad, and the downright weird of this mystical land that has the big brass balls to call itself... TEXAS. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll scratch your head and wonder why, but in the end you'll realize - by God, it's Texas! "Dead'r Than Elvis is an anthology of short stories that could only come from the Great State of Texas. A delightful confluence of intriguing characters, from a honky tonk band leader to a black man falsely accused, Roberts takes you on a tour of the historical (sometimes hysterical) ins and outs of being a true Texan. Roberts never fails to engage, and this book will keep you too busy to notice the bluebonnets blooming outside your window." -- Liz Dixon Evans "Being a "displaced Texan" I often gravitate to things that remind me of home. This book is like BBQ Brisket and Dr. Pepper with a side of Blue Bell Ice Cream. The stories depict Texan culture so accurately, it's effortless to immerse myself into them." -- Lee Heber "Considering the title, I expected this book to contain some bawdy tales of over-the-top Texans, and it does, but it also has some scares and some real heartbreak. I laughed out loud at some of the stories (the wayward preacher and the guy's trip to the desert) and I cried for others (the marine back from Iraq and the father at the lake). These stories capture the spirit of Texas and with a Texas-size heart." -- Lisa Grant "Anthony Roberts has a gift for dialogue and dialect. I can almost hear my cattle-rustlin', moonshiner, sheriff grandpappy-in-law in some of these stories. He could have easily been included in this colorful, crazy, cast-of-characters. Even though these are fictional stories, having lived in the South, and having had a couple of (mis)adventures in Texas, it wouldn't surprise me if many of these tales were based in truth." -- Barbara Gilliland Harrison "If these aren't the Tall Tales we all heard as kids, then they are well told and every bit as true to Texas. Honky tonks and Western Swing, gunshot lawmen, small-town politicians, sex-starved preachers, drunken outlaws, rattlesnake hunters, cowgirls brawling in the streets and even a lost, heart-broke dawg. Yep, it sure ain't your grandpa's Pecos Bill but it's clear that the author knows and loves the Great State of Texas." -- R. T. Reynolds
