Hot Coffee and Cold Truth

Hot Coffee and Cold Truth Margaret is one of the featured authors in the anthology of essays titled Hot Coffee and Cold Truth: Living and Writing the West, which will be published in September by the University of New Mexico Press. In her essay titled "Ghosts of the West," Margaret writes about living in and writing about a place that is haunted by the past. The Old West was a destination point for peoples from around the world, a place where a multitude of languages could be hear in the forts or in the saloons or in the crowded streets of towns that sprung up overnight. Every part of the western landscape carries the usually invisible, but sometimes visible, footprints of all the different peoples who came before. Even the cities bear the marks of the past. "Denver would not be Denver," she writes, "without its ghosts."

Hot Coffee and Cold Truth features essays by some of the best-loved writers of the West, such as Elmer Kelton, Robert Utley, Richard S. Wheeler, Max Evans, Win Blevins and Laurie Wager Buyer. Editor of the anthology is W.C. Jameson.
