In the Shadows of a Fallen Wall
Growing up, what Sanford Tweedie knew about East Germany was basically . . . nothing. West Germans were our friends; East Germans, the enemy. In 2000, somewhat better informed, Tweedie took advantage of a Fulbright Scholarship to move his family to the eastern German town of Erfurt for the academic year.

As soon as their taxi delivered them to their grim tan and concrete Soviet-vintage apartment building, they knew their education had begun. Learning about life in the former East Germany, amid the feverish embrace of Western culture and the tenacious legacy of a totalitarian past, Tweedie comes to understand the deeper cultural assumptions through which Americans view the larger world. Part travelogue, part history, part cultural critique, all thoroughly engrossing, the story of his yearlong experience is one of dislocation and accommodation, making a German town his own and now ours.

Moses Rose
Moses Rose is fiction based on a legend of a man who, if he existed, left the Alamo hours before the Mexican Army’s assault on March 6, 1836. This novel imagines a story of Moses and Mary Kimbro, the widow of an Alamo hero – a story of courage in conflict with survival, of anger in conflict with remorse, and of loneliness in conflict with desire on the dangerous frontier that was Texas in 1836.
