Maiden, mother, and crone, representing the three stages assigned to a woman\u2019s life, have been the limiting categories of both ancient and modern mythology. One label in particular rankles: crone. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n None of us has ever truly fit the old-crone image, and for today\u2019s midlife women, a new archetype is being birthed: the creatrix.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n In Creatrix Rising<\/em>, Stephanie Raffelock lays out the highlights of the past fifty years, in which women have gone from quiet strength to a resounding voice. She invites us on her transformational journey by providing probing questions for reflection that help us to enliven this new archetype within ourselves. If what the Dalai Lama has predicted\u2014that women will save the world\u2014proves true, then the creatrix will be out front, leading the pack.<\/span><\/span><\/span> ===========================<\/p>\n ===========================<\/p>\n <\/p>\n NONFICTION \/ HISTORY \/ MYSTERY \/ MURDER & MAYHEM<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n By Cynthia Leal Massey<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Two Dot<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n 2014, 208 pages<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n Available in paperback<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Winner of the Will Rogers Silver Medallion Award for Best Western Nonfiction, the true story of the murder of a German-born Texas Ranger by one of three Rangers of Mexican descent under his command. The events leading up to the murder, involving a frontier naturalist, and the murdered man’s son\u2019s decades\u2019 long quest for justice exemplify the chaotic frontier society in Texas after the Civil War. Amidst that chaos, the virgin landscape of Texas was a magnet to those interested in the natural sciences.

Floore Country Store, the central Texas town of Helotes has a rich history. Named from the word elote, a Nahuatl\/Spanish word meaning \u201ccorncob,\u201d Helotes was incorporated as a city in 1981; however, the town became a known settlement in 1873, with the establishment of a post office. European and Mexican immigrants established ranches in the area starting in the early 1850s, and in 1881, a downtown center was founded. That area is now known as Old Town Helotes, a historic district. This book offers a thoroughly researched and fascinating account of a town populated by hardworking pioneers, renegade Indians, elusive bandits, and impassioned citizens.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ===========================<\/p>\n NONFICTION \/ POSITIVE AGING <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n By Ramona Oliver<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n BookBaby<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n July 24, 2020<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n 246 pages<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n Available in paperback<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Visit the Lone Star Lit Tour Page<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Inclined Elders<\/em> is a call to action for you to opt for Incline.
