These are the titles of Dr. Newbury's seven books offered by Cross
Roads Press of Fort Worth, Texas. The books have been acclaimed
in reviews by newspapers across the Lone Star State, where his
weekly humor column, The idle American, is now featured
weekly in more than 125 newspapers, mostly in Texas. Occasional
columns are quoted on Paul Harvey News.
Readers of his books and his columns--as well as audiences that
total more than 5,500 in his long speaking career--claim that
Dr. Newbury well be "the nation's unstuffiest college president!"
That's the way he's been introduced on hundreds of occasions.
Thanks to Betty Broome, administrative assistant during his presidential
years at Howard Payne University, all of his books are available
in both CD and cassette formats ("Geese", "Sunny
Side," "Fiction," "Wheelbarrow" and "Honk!" in audio only).
The audio books run about four hours each. "Many people
know Dr. Newbury best by his speaking voice," Ms. Broome
said. So, he is the reader
of his own books in the audio versions.
"I'd planned on writing books for several years, but didn't
anticipate turning out one annually, but so far, that's the pace,"
Dr. Newbury laughed, claiming that his first fear was that if
reader ever put down his book, they couldn't pick it up!...
