Books with author Michael Troy

Michael Truly is a Dallas artist who focused on his artistic gifts from very early childhood, eventually leading to his bachelor of arts degree (University of Oklahoma, 1958) and on throughout his long career as a painter. He has worked in a variety of media in commercial art, mural painting, serigraphy, as well as teaching painting. He continued to study privately with various painters in Dallas, in most recent years with the prominent Liz Richardson. Mike’s paintings are in private collections in Dallas and other Texas cities, as well as on the West Coast, and his work has regularly appeared in the Dallas Museum of Art Staff Art Show since 2006. Just as his devotion to art has characterized Mike throughout his life, so has the playful humor that has sometimes emerged, for example, in his small whimsical copies of historic paintings, with images of himself posed in a place of the original subject (imagine the Abduction of Europa replaced by the Abduction of Michael).

The last thing Henry Arlington wants is a girlfriend. He's just very, very good with girls—reading their body language, knowing what they want to hear, and more importantly: getting them into the backseat of his car. But all that changes when he meets Garrett Lennox at one of the many Sweet Sixteen parties he crashes. Garrett thinks she's done with guys. She was dumped by her ex when she moved from Chicago to Long Island, and now she realizes that she needs to find out who she is by herself, instead of with a boyfriend. What she really needs is some good friends. Fortunately for Garrett, the J Squad—the "it" girls of East Shore High School—want her in their clique. All she has to do is pass one little test: get East Shore god Henry Arlington to take her to one of the biggest Sweet Sixteens of the year, then dump him in front of everyone. Garrett has promised herself not to fall for another guy, so playing with Henry's heart shouldn't be hard. Right? And Henry doesn't fall for girls, so when he and Garrett start to click, it doesn't matter. Does it?As William Shakespeare once said, "Love is blind," or in this case, the lovers may be, as Henry and Garrett fall in love—and into the trap that awaits them. Because neither of them can even begin to see what the girls of Henry Arlington's past have in store. This hilarious, sharp, and surprisingly thoughtful novel is the teen Wedding Crashers, filled with love, hope, laughs, and surprising insights about the terrifying process of falling in love.
