Hi, I’m Wes Ferguson, a writer and journalist from the Piney Woods of Northeast Texas. Lately I have been working for a weekly newspaper called the Hays Free Press. An old college buddy of mine is the editor of the paper. In addition to giving me a part-time job, he also gave me a free bedroom in his house, which was a pretty nice thing for him to do. (Update: I am now the editor of the paper. Meteoric).
This past January, I completed my first book manuscript. The book grew from a series of newspaper articles I wrote about the Sabine River, which runs through my hometown. The book is under contract, but I don’t know when it is going to be published. My editor has asked me to include a few more passages about natural history and river conservation.
I should probably get to work on that.
Here’s me with Mr. Henry. We were fishing for crappie on Caddo Lake. I’m the one in the Fugler’s T-shirt.
