Jane Wolfe is the author of two previous biographies and one that will be published in September, 2022. Her first book, "THE MURCHISONS: The Rise and Fall of a Texas Dynasty," was published in 1989. Her second book, published in 1994, is "BLOOD RICH: When Oil Billions, High Fashion, and Royal Intimacies Are Not Enough." Both received highly favorable reviews, including this one about "THE MURCHISONS" - "If episodes of the TV show 'Dallas' were half as interesting as this real life Texas family, ratings would never be a problem." Her current book is "BURL: Journalism Giant and Media Trailblazer," to be published by Andrews McMeel Publishing (AMP) on September 6, 2022. It is the story of the late Burl Osborne, former chairman of "The Associated Press" and publisher of "The Dallas Morning News," who waged and won one of the last great newspaper wars in the United States. The biography tells the riveting story of Burl's unlikely rise from the coal mines of Appalachia to the pinnacle of journalism - a remarkable feat made more so by his ongoing battle with kidney disease. In the early 1960s Burl pioneered home kidney dialysis treatment and in 1966 became only the 130th person in the world to undergo a live kidney transplant, a risky and unproven operation at the time. His is an exciting journey during the golden age of journalism, and his biography will be required reading for journalism and medical students alike. Author Jane Wolfe lived in Dallas for forty years before recently relocating to her hometown of Columbus, Ohio. She has written for dozens of newspapers and magazines, including "The New York Times" and "Town & Country."
