Almost thirty years ago, a scraggly tree on the outskirts of a dying Texas coal mining town called Bremond inspired the name of a group dedicated to a simple goal: telling a good story. Well, to be perfectly honest, it was a tree and a song I liked from a band that has long since stopped recording new material. A song, a symbol, and a mission are all anyone needs to get the creative juices flowing, I’ve found! Since 2001, Texas Winter has embraced the goal of telling stories, from books to educational videos to video games.
