    Jerry Yost

    Now in my seventies, my service in the United States Army was followed by a career path that led to a successful eighteen years in advertising and marketing ending with my own agency. I was elected to the Texas House of Representatives in 1984 and served until 1997 when I retired. I wrote several articles for industry publications and wrote a paper on corporate lobbying that was published as part of a symposium on the subject and earned a Chair in the Texas Law Library at the University of Texas. I crafted legislative ideas into Texas law, one which permitted my written testimony to be used as the basis for legal arguments that supported contested water issues. Julia, my wife of over forty-seven years, and I have traveled the past fifteen years both abroad and throughout the United States. The most memorable trip was our twenty-eight day photo safari in Africa. Thousands of photos and film clips of all our trips have been woven into numerous DVDs that will entertain us when our travels are over. My imagination has created a library of ideas and characters over the years, and now I’m beginning a journey to use those ideas to provide stories for others. I have two adult children and five grandchildren ages from the early twenties to pre-teens. The possibility to create something that is shared generation to generation is a legacy I hope to leave them. Children provide a great sounding board that is often non-judgmental in many ways. They can simply become absorbed in a good story. However, when it comes to books, one cannot determine the level of one’s writing talent without creating manuscripts and getting published. My background has allowed me to express ideas based on facts, or imagination, or a combination of the two. Taking concepts to a finished product coupled with my life experiences, word mastery and vivid imagination are the guide posts that I will follow on my path to a writing career.
