Sam Gwynne, the Pulitzer Prize finalist and best-selling author of Empire of the Summer Moon, will soon be returning to Texas Monthly, after a brief stint with the Morning News. Gwynne spent much of the past decade as an executive editor at TM, and he’ll rejoin the staff in October as a special correspondent. Jake Silverstein, the man in charge over there, told me this morning that Gwynne will have plenty of time to finish his highly anticipated new book, a biography of Stonewall Jackson, (a film adaptation of Summer Moon is also in the works, with Larry McMurtry writing the screenplay) but he emphasized “this is definitely not an honorary position.” Silverstein says they’ve already got a few story ideas in the works. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to have Sam returning to what we certainly consider his home.”
