About the Author

 

Wesley Treat, one of the three authors of Weird Texas, has spent the last decade seeking out unusual roadside attractions in the hope that two guys from the east coast would one day ask him to help write a book.

Wesley enjoys photography as both a hobby and profession. In his spare time, he likes singing 80s hits at stoplights, sneaking outside food into movie theaters and spelling things correctly. His hobbies include pressing buttons and purchasing needless office supplies. His favorite food is miniature cupcakes.

He is currently living in Arlington, TX and seeking an evil genius in pigtails. Map-reading skills a plus. Interested parties should submit a photo and describe their master plan in 50 words or less at www.wesleytreat.com.
