@dave_1440 @harris_wins Unlike Trump who is America’s number one grifter who will be remembered as a man who didn’t pay his bills and resorted to calling his opponents names—an art any 7th grader can master. Lovely.

@TishiaIsMe @dawnsnyder111 @adgirlMM If you had done your homework, you would know that Trump Is lying about his association with the heritage foundation. Thus is his platform. Period

The Wittliff has generously offered to become the guardian of my literary legacy. Born out of passion and discipline and struggle, my life’s work has come to rest in the heart of Texas. Exile has given way to belonging.

I’m working on a new novel. & everyone asks, it’s the third Ari & Dante book! Yes?! & I say NO. & then I hear a sigh of “who cares” indifference. So maybe I shouldn’t say I’m working on a new novel. But, hey! I’m working on a new novel. Chuy sends love

@crowley0614 @karenalynA Im Sorry, Thomas, but I only write books. I don’t make movies. All I can say is that another movie is by no means a certainty. I’m grateful for the first one. Lovely. And grateful that I’m able to continue to write. I send love.

There is a reason why this man is my hero. Just read:
FULL CIRCLE: I dedicated my last story for @dallasnews to my father, a bracero. His sacrifice for a better gave me opportunity to become a writer to tell his story & that of others. The bones of buildings are the aching bones of my bracero father
