About the author (1997)

Born in Stephenville, Tex. and raised in a succession of small West Texas towns, Leon Hale is one of Texas's best-known journalists. A newspaper columnist for 46-plus years, Hale worked at the Houston Post for more than three decades before leaving for a job at the Houston Chronicle. In addition to his collection of columns, Hale is the author of nine books, including the two novels Bonney's Place and Addison, and a memoir. In his book Home Spun, Hale pieced together 76 of his past newspaper columns to provide readers with narratives of ordinary experiences ranging from "What can happen when you turn off the television" to "What it's like to grow older."
