The year 2009, while a bummer in all too many ways, was a good one for local authors.
There were many winners worth recommending, from â??Same Time, Same Station,â? UW-Madison School of Journalism Professor James Baughmanâ??s fascinating history of the beginning days of network television, to Marshall Cookâ??s delightful â??Walking Wounded: A Wartime Love Story,â? a fact-based piece of fiction centered on Madisonâ??s newspaper scene.
