Texas: An Oral History of Daytime TV’s Answer to Dallas
by Tom Lisanti Caryn RichmanTexas: An Oral History of Daytime’s Answer to Dallas focuses on Procter & Gamble and NBC’s 1980 spin-off from Another World. It was the first soap to debut in the one-hour format and set in a real city, Houston. Receiving star billing and leading the cast was Another World’s popular Beverlee McKinsey as Iris Bancroft. Having such high hopes for their new soap, Fred Silverman, the head of NBC, boasted to the press that it would be so successful that a move to prime time would be warranted. However, Texas turned out not to be the Dallas of daytime, as predicted, for several reasons and only lasted two and a half years. It went through four head writing regimes and two executive producers with various levels of success. Even so, the show built up a core audience that found it to be quirky and fun. And despite its short run, the soap is beloved to this day. This book is a collection of memories and stories from actors, including Kin Shriner, Terri Garber, Catherine Hickland, Harley Kozak, Pamela Long, John McCafferty, Caryn Richman, Tom Wiggin, and Michael Woods; creator and head writer Joyce Corrington; and various writers; directors; set designers; NBC network executives; and family members. Brutally honest, they share the good, the bad, and the outrageous with regard to what went into producing this one-hour soap, five days a week at its Brooklyn studio. Connecting their observations and anecdotes are plot synopses; tales of Procter & Gamble and network interference; and how General Hospital helped lead to Texas’s downfall. The book will be illustrated with publicity stills; print ads; and behind-the-scenes photos and original set sketches from some of the participants’ private collections.

Textastrophe: A Collection of Hilariously Catastrophic Text Pranks
by Matt AndrewsOnce upon a time, prank phone calls were the best way to procrastinate, but in 2015, they're so passé. Instead, Matt Andrews has mastered the art of prank texting. What happens when you offer to barter two sub-sandwiches for a used motorcycle? Who do you call when you want to build a mysterious man cave in your basement? What do you do if you need a knight in shining armor to deliver you to your high school reunion?

Texts from Bennett
by Mac LethalA family story for the twenty-first century, based on the phenomenally popular Texts from Bennett Tumblr blog, this epistolary novel chronicles the year that Bennett and the rest of his freeloading family moved into his cousin Mac's household.Hardworking Kansas rapper Mac has a problem, and its name is Bennett. His wannabe gangster cousin is seventeen, uses drugs and foul language, treats women worse than Charlie Sheen, and has just moved in. For the sake of aiding his addled aunt and trying to put Bennett on the straight and narrow, Mac dutifully takes them into his house when they lose their own. Through their interactions and legendary text message exchanges, one thing becomes absolutely clear: Bennett views the world differently than most. (Partly because he's looking through smoke-filled glasses). In a year of ups and downs, Mac and Bennett need to stick together and make this new family unit work. From stealing cats, to legendary fights with the uncontrollable Mercedes, to his "11 commandmints of gittin bitchez," Bennett's going to make that more than a little difficult. But if Mac pays enough attention, maybe, just maybe he'll learn something along the way himself. Regardless of whether they survive their time together, one thing's for sure, though: Bennett is no ordinary teenager, and certainly not one you'll soon forget.
Texts from Dog
by October JonesHe&’s a dog with a phone . . . My dog sends me texts. Yeah. It&’s weird. When October Jones figured out he could send text messages to himself on his mobile phone, he naturally decided that the best use of this discovery was to send passive-aggressive messages to himself under the guise of his bulldog. And so the exasperating, slightly delusional, and utterly endearing Dog and his alter-ego, BatDog, were born. Texts from Dog features Dog&’s attempts to keep the neighborhood safe from the likes of Mr. Postman and his arch-nemesis Cat-Cat—he has managed to only smash three TVs and a patio door in the process. And in between crime fighting sprees and run-ins with the squirrel mafia, there are romantic interludes with pillows, fetch sessions gone terribly awry, and the abusive banter only a bromance between man and his text-savvy dog can spawn. For those of us who have ever had a conversation with a pet in our heads, Texts from Dog will make you laugh out loud and perhaps even make you think twice about leaving your pet home alone for the day.
