TEXAS THEN & NOW: TWO AUTHORS ON WRITING, HISTORY & THE LONE STAR STATE
ELIZABETH CROOK’s The Madstone: A Novel is set in 1868 Texas, where 19-year-old tradesman Benjamin Shreve’s quiet existence takes a sharp turn when he’s asked by a mysterious stranger to find a stagecoach carrying Nell, a pregnant woman, and her 4-year-old son, Tot. In LAWRENCE WRIGHT’s Mr. Texas: A Novel, when a dark-horse candidate risks his personal happiness for a career in the Texas House of Representatives, he must navigate life in politics while weighing his own ethics against the pressures of veteran politicians, savvy lobbyists, and his own party. Moderating is PAUL BOGAARDS, former publishing executive and longtime industry spokesperson, who now helms Bogaards PR.
