I hope there’s a part 2 coming soon! What a cliffhanger! I love the way you combine memoir with the history of your childhood city. It’s truly seamless and gives me a vivid portrait of what your young life must have been to experience.
I think you could write this story as a screenplay and sell it to, say, Richard Linklater (he's the only Texas filmmaker that comes to mind). It all felt like a movie, reading it.
The best piece of professional advice I ever received came, ironically, from another reporter at my small hometown newspaper. He was a former Marine from Pittsburgh who had a long scraggly beard and had freelanced porn to make ends meet. I was 18 and was in awe of his ability to crank out beautiful news and feature stories on an old IBM Selectric on deadline.
This isn't a book, this is a movie! Part 2 asap.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks Steve! Appreciate it.
Part 2, yet to be fully written, starts this way: “Mom was, understandably, pissed.”

The advice: Write visually.
