30 years ago, I got a call that would send me to Oklahoma City to cover the aftermath of one of the worst incidents of domestic terrorism. I'm still trying to process it.

What better way to celebrate Texas Independence Day than to host a discussion about Jack Woodville London's wonderful new book, Dangerous Latitudes, a spy thriller set in the days of the Republic of Texas. Hope you can join us! #texas #atx #atxevents #books #history @LoneStarLit

This is not an easy book to read, but it’s an important one. I felt privileged peer review it. Pleased it’s now available. It shows the devastating impact of school shootings on communities and how trauma lingers. nytimes.com/2024/11/04/books… @PublishingCreek @TAMUPress #gunviolence

The billionaire-owned Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post have refused to endorse presidential candidates in this election. In both cases, the owners made the decision. In journalism we have a word for that: cowardice. houstonchronicle.com/opinion… @HoustonChron @wapo @latimes
