Happy Thanksgiving, belatedly

The back story on this column, which appeared on Thanksgiving Day, 2010, is that one day in a meeting, it was realized that we had no stories to post for Thanksgiving Day.

I had a day off that week, and decided to see what I could cook up.

Here's what came out. I received several nice notes from strangers who enjoyed the laugh.




Texas Pages blog posts

A change in strategies at The Dallas Morning News means that the Texas Pages blog soon will be folded into a new product.

So I'm preserving some of my favorite posts from the past several years here. (Most of this content never appeared in print.)

They would include some coverage from the Mayborn Literary Nonfiction Conference, the Texas Book Festival and Book Expo America; a couple of online-only reviews; and, of course, the interview with William Shatner.
