A man walks free from two cold-blooded murders, acquitted by a jury of his peers. "Why?" a reporter asks a juryman. "Because this is Texas." Told by a family descendant, this account of the Sneed-Boyce feud is one of a love affair with such enormous heat and passion that it blinded the lovers to any mere commonsense concerns, and of a marriage which ultimately survived adultery. And those two murders.

Autorenporträt
Clara Sneed was born in Texas and never got over it, despite a peripatetic childhood that landed her in California. She earned a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts in English literature at UC Berkeley, raised a son, managed IT systems for a San Francisco law firm, and had a successful second career as a tutor for writing and Spanish-all the while working on her own writing. Though she began as a poet, she loves complex historical stories that require a lot of research, and the events depicted in this account more than qualify. Her fictionalized account of the feud, Before We Turn to Dust, was published in the 2024 by Blue Handle Publishing. Sneed and her husband split their time between Berkeley and Milam County, Texas.
