Independent Journalism in Dallas Needs You
We need to raise $12,500 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
While the weather is not quite curl-up-next-to-the-fireplace-with-hot-cider yet, the time is never better to restock your bookshelves with the latest novel by Merritt Tierce. A native Texan and award-winning attendee of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, Tierce returns to her roots in this release. Entitled Love Me Back, the novel centers around a young woman, Marie, finding her place as a steakhouse waitress, trying to make it in the brash culture of Dallas. Balancing bills, bodies and pills, we follow Marie’s rough initiation into gritty, modern adulthood. Tierce will be reading selections from her novel as well as signing copies at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Wild Detectives (314 W 8th St. ). More information at merritttierce.com.
