The Cowboy,The Storyteller.The ManI dont think I can say anything that anyone that knew Troy didnt know,,but this is my story..Troy was very set in his ways,it was a chore to get him to change his mind on anything.Anyways he was very proud of his books he had written,and he love to sit out in the hay barn with the kids and have a cold one and tell story after story.Most of them was of growing up with horses and about his father and his children Talked about all the horse shows and horses he had ridden and won on> He was a good hearted person and all the little kids loved him< There was a lot more I could have said but you know him if you knew him at all>>He will surely be remembered as Uncle Troy and Grandpa!!!

Tiger TaleTroy BuckAs a young boy Troy grew up in the small West Texas town of Andrews, Troy seemed destined to continue his fathers legacy as a horse trainer. Buck, as we call him, spent twelve years as a bull rider and calf roper in the rodeo circuit. As his rodeo days came to an end Buck began a new journey traveling the countryside in a Kenworth diesel truck hauling goods from one side of the country to the other. Then on one fateful night his life changed suddenly. The accident resulted in his spending twelve years of his life in a Texas penitentiary. The only thing that gave him solace was to pick up a pen and write. Just like the many stories Buck has written his life has taken many twists and turns.Troy is fast becoming a local celebrity here in Odessa, Texas. He was asked to be a guest author for Books in the Basin, an Ector County Library Event, he has appeared on local radio stations here in Odessa, and in November 2012 he was a featured guest on talk show host Kathryn Raakers nationally syndicated radio show Lets Just Talk!Troy Buck welcomes the opportunity to talk about his life experiences, share his thoughts of what is happening in our country today, and his journey to writing his novels.Look for more of Bucks exciting novels to be published in the near futurehttp://tigertale.com/publishing/troy/
