And we've got books about it! We recommend A PIPE FOR FEBRUARY by Charles Red Corn, anything by John Joseph Mathews, and J. ROBERT OPPENHEIMER, THE COLD WAR, AND THE ATOMIC WEST by Jon Hunner for starters.

Fiction writers: I recently had an author say they didn't know about the university-press subject grid, which includes a fiction category. If you're looking to pitch fiction to nonprofit university presses, here's your master list of potential candidates. https://t.co/jjXxMvOomR

ICYMI, I wrote about gardening and politics for @TexasMonthly. Come for the Simpsons reference, stay for the indictment of our hedonistic society. https://t.co/ojcQholGdU

New Review! ""John Bradstreet’s Raid 1758: A Riverine Operation of the French and Indian War" is an interesting, informative, and an extensively researched work. I recommend it for those individuals well versed in colonial American military history as well as the amateur military historian. Presenting the first comprehensive account of the attack on Fort Frontenac, McCulloch is successful in correcting the record and expanding our understanding of this small yet significant raid. "John Bradstreet’s Raid 1758" is a noteworthy and worthwhile addition to your library." Read more here - https://t.co/AQl5ydGWve

Things have gone from bad to worse in the fight within the @TxStHistAssoc. The rogue interim exec. director is in unfettered control of the organization for the next months, pushing a reactionary agenda to change the content of publications. /1
