Happy Thanksgiving for everyone celebrating the holiday. For something different, I've put together a video I'm calling a "3-Minute Western" (suitable for timing your soft-cooked eggs). Thanks to Patti Abbott, who gave me the idea for something like this in the first place.
Hit play, and you can hear my midwestern twang as I read the first two pages of Zane Grey's novel, The Heritage of the Desert, which I reviewed here recently. It's a thrilling beginning, as a man at the point of death hears two men debating the pros and cons of saving his life.

Enjoy your holiday! Hope you're with family and friends and folks you care about.
Coming up: Dan O'Brien and Nebraska writers
That was cool. Well read! Grey seemed to feature Mormons a lot in his books, or so it seems.
ReplyDeleteMay your Thanksgiving dinner carry you through the Black Friday weekend. A dramatic beginning to the novel, well done.
