District 62 Rep-elect Shelley Luther has released a new book titled “Courage to Stand.”
“From the Jail House to the State House, signed copies of Courage to Stand are going out now. Order your copy from the link in the comments,” Luther said in a post on X announcing the new literary work. Attached to her post was an image of the book’s cover, which was her mugshot when she was jailed in Dallas.

Luther posted a link to a website called T Georgeff Enterprises LLC, named after her husband Tim Georgeff. Georgeff’s website allows interested parties to order signed paperbacks of the new book.
Georgeff, who was Luther’s then-fiance, campaigned for her release after she was jailed. Dallas’s Judge Eric Moye had initially sentenced Luther to 7 days in jail for contempt of court for refusing to obey his order to comply with countywide lockdowns. Luther was liberated after serving three days of her sentence when the Texas Supreme Court found that Moye’s contempt order had been improperly filed.
She subsequently unsuccessfully sought a State Senate and House seat in 202o and 2021.
Her burgeoning political career was almost halted when Luther suffered an aneurysm and several strokes in April of 2024. “[I] honestly should have died,” Luther previously told The Dallas Express.
However, Luther recovered and in 2024 she would defeat incumbent State Rep. Reggie Smith in the Republican Primary before defeating Democrat Tiffany Drake in the November General Election.
Another post by Luther noted that her book is “filled with the inside details of what happened from Covid and jail in 2020 until I won the Texas House seat in 2024.”

The memoir is written by Georgeff, who holds a PhD and raises kangaroos on his north Texas ranch with his wife.
Luther will be sworn in in January and has promised to tackle immigration and school choice as some of her top priorities, DX previously reported.
