  • Summary

  • As I already have a podcast produced by the Texas Standard, Stories from Texas, I wanted to launch a new one that would go beyond the limits of where my stories are typically corralled. I'm calling it Beyond Texas so that I can share the many inspirational and astounding stories I know that don't fit the theme I'm most known for. Here you will get me, for better or worse, unabridged.

    The Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose Bierce
    Apr 20 2024

    Often listed as one of the top ten best short stories ever written in America, The Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, by Ambrose Bierce remains, even today, a particularly haunting story for everyone who has ever read it, or seen the Twilight Zone episode based on the story which Rod Serling aired in 1961.

  • Platero y Yo

    Platero y Yo
    Mar 17 2024

    Excerpts from the extraordinarily poignant book by Nobel Prize winning Spanish author, Juan Ramón Jiménez. I call it a children´s book for adults, but children can certainly enjoy it, too. Like all great literature, it works on many levels.
