Thrilling Behind the Scenes Look at "Private Trauma" on AAN

Thanks to the good people at the Association of Alternative Weeklies, I had the chance to get grilled have a lively conversation Friday afternoon about my Texas Observer story on former KBR trucker Preston Wheeler.

I'd already been following their "How I Got That Story" live chat series, so it was great to be able to join in with my old editor Jake Bernstein. "Private Trauma" took AAN's 2008 award for feature writing in under-50,000 circulation papers, and you can check out the archived live chat on AAN's site.

Thanks to Julia Goldberg at AAN for making this happen!
