Author Nancy Stancill shared this note with her Facebook friends this afternoon:
“I’m excited to let you know that I’m pledging royalties from Saving Texas to an organization dear to my heart, Investigative Reporters and Editors.
“Royalties from the first thousand books sold will go to IRE’s endowment to support the Godfrey Wells Stancill Fellowship.
“The fellowship so far has paid expenses for six journalists from small papers to attend the IRE conference to learn investigative reporting techniques.
“My family raised money for the fellowship in memory of our wonderful dad, a lifelong newspaper guy. Details posted today on www.ire.org, the IRE’s website!”

As part of a road tour of Texas this month, Nancy Stancill stopped at Brazos Bookstore in Houston to greet friends and sign copies of “Saving Texas.”
Mary Moody, who took the pictures at right, wrote to her Facebook friends, “I have such talented friends. Nancy Stancill, reporter extraordinaire and now published book author, has been in town showing off her new ‘baby,’ a murder mystery called Saving Texas. It’s the story of a newspaper reporter and political corruption. Here are a couple of shots (my phone is not my best camera!) showing Nancy at a book signing and reading at Houston’s Brazos Bookstore.”
Nancy wrote, “I was so lucky to have Mary and other longtime friends there.”
