Book Review Editor. We are delighted to announce that Austin-based
writer and syndicated columnist Mike Cox will be publishing on-line versions of his
twice monthly Texana Book Reviews on the pages of Lone Star
Junction. His articles fit perfectly the theme of this website, and will be updated
following a short delay after their publication in several key Texas newspapers.
As Chief of Media Relations for the Texas Department of Public Safety (the parent organization
for the Texas Rangers), Cox has been the agency's principal spokesman during several nationally
and internationally followed law enforcement crisis. He is President of the National
Association of Government Communicators and a past member of the board of the Friends of
the O. Henry Museum in Austin. A nationally-published free-lance writer, Cox is the author
of nine books. In March 1993, he was elected a member of the Texas Institute of Letters along
with other noted Texas writers including James Michener and Bill Moyers. Cox can be reached
at mlcox1@flash.net.
