Today I participated as an author in the Humanities Texas Holiday Book Fair. Over two dozen authors gathered at the historic Byrne-Reed House in Austin. Among those signing books were H. W. Brands, William P. Hobby Jr., Max Sherman, Frank de la Teja, James Hailey, Don Carlteon, Jacqueline Kelly, Emily Fox Gordon, Diana Welch, Bill Wittliff, and me. Several hundred enthisasic book lovers attended. The event was a great success. It was also a special treat for the various authors to meet with each other and trade impressions about their work. Humanities Texas is to be congratulated for hosting such a fine event that produced a memorable time for everyone who attended.
