If all goes as expected, Bill Habern, Timothy Sloan and Craig Washington will all be together for my presentation at the Texas Book Festival in Austin. Nate Blakeslee, a senior editor at Texas Monthly and the journalist who broke the story on the notriously corrupt Tulia, Texas, drug bust for the Texas Observer, will be moderator. I can’t think of a better journalist in Texas. Nate wrote a book on the case, Tulia: Race, Cocaine, and Corruption in a Small Texas Town. This will be a great opportunity for me to talk about the book and to for these lawyers to answer some questions about the case.
The presentation will take place at 11 a.m in Capitol Extension Room E2.014.
