What Genre Is Your Book... and Does It Matter?

Lone Star Gridiron

SHOW NOTES: What genre is your book? It sounds like a simple question… until your book refuses to fit neatly into one box. In this episode, I explore what genres actually do, the difference between genre and audience, why genre matters when choosing BISAC categories and keywords, and what happens when your stories cross genre lines. I also tackle a question I’m confronting in my own writing journey: Should authors write to market and stay in one recognizable genre—or let each story decide what it wants to become? Because genre can help readers find your book. But does it have to...

They Loved Your Book! Now Here Comes the Invoice

Lone Star Gridiron

SHOW NOTES: You launched your book! Congratulations! And apparently… everyone has been waiting for this moment so they can help you. Podcast bookings. Book clubs. Trailers. Marketing packages. Friendly messages from fellow authors who—four DMs later—just happen to know someone who can promote your book. Some of that interest is genuine. Some of it is simply sales wearing a friendly face. In this episode, I share some of the offers that started appearing after I launched Veiled Halos—including a podcast pitch for the ballerina book I never wrote—and what I’ve learned about...

SHOW NOTES

Chris Doelle and Mike Forman preview a consequential week of Texas Gulf Coast high school football as district play reaches a critical juncture. With playoff positioning, district titles, and home-field advantage on the line, the hosts analyze key recaps from last week and break down marquee matchups across the region.

RECENT GAME REVIEWS

Bay City vs. Sealy: Bay City impressed in their victory as QB Kimarian Wiggins effectively passed the ball, a talented sophomore class stepped up, and the defense stopped Sealy’s wishbone on 4th down while forcing three turnovers (two fumbles, one interception).
Calallen at Port Lavaca Calhoun: Calallen took control of their district with a 29–7 defensive victory. Although Calhoun scored first on a pass over the top, Calallen’s defense shut down Calhoun’s run game and forced them to pass.
Goliad: Fell to 2–4 after a heavy loss to Orange Grove due to inconsistent offensive execution.
Rice Consolidated: Maintained an undefeated district record after topping Industrial, powered by a stellar performance from QB Cord Johnson.

BIGGER-PICTURE STORYLINES

Playoff Seeding & Home-Field Advantage: Finishing in the top two spots in district is paramount, as it secures a home playoff game rather than forcing a team onto the road.
Historic Rivalries: Deep-rooted local rivalries bring huge community stakes, highlighted by Bay City vs. El Campo meeting for the 107th consecutive year (126th or 127th overall).
Postseason Rematches: Teams are reminded that late-season district clashes (such as Ganado vs. Shiner) often serve as precursors to playoff rematches down the road.
Six-Man Development: Runge continues to show progress under coach Glenn Bodd in their third year of six-man football within a trimmed-down district.

UPCOMING MATCHUPS PREVIEW

Featured Games

Ganado vs. Shiner: A major Hwy 59 showdown between state contenders (#1 vs. #4) that will likely decide the district champion. Ganado’s passing attack contrasts with Shiner’s ability to control the line of scrimmage.
Bay City vs. El Campo: The 107th consecutive chapter of this historic rivalry. A Bay City win clears their district path, while El Campo faces a tougher back-half schedule.
Victoria West at Fort Bend Kempner: Played at Mercer Stadium in Sugar Land. A win for West keeps them in line for a top-two district finish and a home playoff game.
Victoria East vs. Iowa Colony: Victoria East enters on a two-game winning streak against an Iowa Colony team whose losses have come against high-caliber opponents.

District & Regional Slate

Edna vs. Palacios: Edna’s stout defense is expected to handle Palacios by two to three touchdowns, despite Palacios playing close overtime and field-goal games recently.
Cuero at Gonzales: Rivalry battle played at Texas Lutheran in Seguin. Cuero QB Jarvis Williams comes off an 80–90% completion game, while Gonzales may regain their injured starting QB.
Rice Consolidated vs. Brazos: Undefeated Rice Consolidated looks to stay clean ahead of a potential district-deciding matchup with East Bernard next week.
Industrial vs. Boling: A key district contest where a Boling victory would vault them back into playoff contention.
Goliad vs. Sinton: Goliad (2–4) seeks offensive consistency to avoid dropping to 0–2 in district play.
Runge vs. Chester (Thursday Six-Man): Played at Bryan Allen Academy in Bryan as Runge looks to secure the district title.
