Billy Bob is a happy-go-lucky roach who believes that we all should honor the dreams of our heart. His passionate goal was to somehow get to Texas and become a real Texas cowboy. After achieving that goal, Billy Bob treated himself to a little road trip, around the state, visiting the kitchens of many good Texas cooks. He would sample teensy bites of yummy Texas foods scraps, cleaned off the dinner dishes and put into the garbage. It was there that Billy Bob tasted some of the best eats ever! While most roaches are not loveable creatures, Billy Bob has such a charm about him that his persuasive powers were able to overcome the cooks’ initial rejection of him once they discovered him in their kitchens. Don’t ask how, as no one really knows, but somehow, some way, Billy Bob was able to get the cooks to share their recipes. Then Billy Bob could fulfill his next big dream which was to publish a recipe book of easy eats that even a roach could cook up. As long as it was fast and fun, easy, cheesy and greasy, Billy Bob was down with it. Billy Bob understands that humans may be hesitant to accept that a cockroach can be a food connoisseur. Most prefer to believe that cockroaches will eat whatever they can find; that is simply untrue. Some roaches are picky and hold out for only the best stuff. Billy Bob has staked his reputation on giving you his very best finds. Not only will you enjoy the simplicity of the recipes, but he believes that something almost magical will happen for you as you chow down on each mouthful of yummy goodness. True, or not…he thinks that every morsel of Texas foods bring out one’s bravado, provide extra self-confidence, make us smarter, and even make us more beautiful and handsome, and more! Whoa! Well, some may think he exaggerates, and it’s true he could be a bit of a Texas braggart. But no matter what, these eats sure do taste good. Isn’t it time to Texan-ize your cookin’, and get more easy, cheesy, greasy, fast and fun food into your life.

About the Author

About The Author Billy Bob is affectionately known as The Texas Cowboy Cockroach™. Although not born a Texan, Billy Bob made it his number one goal in life to become one. Helping him to achieve his dream to become not only a Texan, but a genuine cowboy, was his good friend and ‘savior’ of sorts, a little 10 year old girl named Suzy Lou. As it happened, Billy Bob rescued her bag of “goodies” from the terrible bully who was trying to scare her out of giving up her yummy stuff from the candy shop. From that day forward, Billy Bob became a hero in her eyes. To thank Billy Bob, she rescued him from the streets… and from the life of a typical cockroach. It turned out to be a stroke of good luck when Billy Bob found that his new caretaker, Suzy Lou, and her family would be moving to Texas. His dream came true! After the move to Texas, Suzy Lou helped outfit Billy Bob and give him his duded-up appearance. From the boots, to his guitar, red bandana around his neck, 10-gallon hat, and his little six-shooter (note: Billy Bob is non-violent, he just uses it for self-protection), in his own little mind, Billy Bob believed himself to then be a genuine Texas cowboy. Billy Bob loved his new life in Texas, right from the git-go. Soon, he met Rosie de la Roach while both were snacking on taco leftovers in the garbage can at the farm house belonging to Suzy Lou’s grandpa. Rosie and Billy Bob were smitten with each other and soon married. Life was good. Billy Bob was livin’ it up under the starry night skies of central Texas, and responsibly raising a family of little roaches. Billy Bob’s success in life drew lots of attention from other roaches who also wanted to get ahead in life. He became a motivational speaker to help inspire other roaches to fulfill the dreams of their own hearts. Roaches from all over the place still travel to his ranch in the heart of Texas. There they listen to Billy Bob deliver life changing messages to basically “go for it”. Billy Bob likes to believe that he has made a positive difference in the lives of all the roaches that have crossed his path.
