Kirby Sanders is a journalist who used to ply his trade in Henderson County. He spent time as the editor of The Malakoff News and was also on the staff of the Athens Daily Review. … We were actually at the Review together back in the day.
He sent me a note recently saying he has published a novel based on a murder case and an outbreak of grass fires back around 1995. The book is titled, “A Death in Texas.”
“It is fiction and should be read as such, but all based on actual events,” Kirby said.
In addition to the murder plot, there is also plenty of historical and cultural background about Henderson County and Athens included, he said.
