Get some insights into how one Texas judge looks at the world, and why some Texans think the way they do. Meet his family and get a taste of old-time Winona, Texas (pop. 622). Murders, suicides, and accidents happen in the country as well as in the city. The mysteries of death on television are solved using CSI technology, on-the-spot DNA testing, and all kinds of gimmicks, all within the hour. In real life, the solutions take more time, and some mysteries will never be solved. A few stories of death linger in one’s mind, while others will be buried on the lips of those in the grave. Laugh, cry, wonder, and take a closer look at yourself through these memorable stories. Death comes to us all. You may find it is time to start living—maybe even living with the dead! From Chapter 17 Inquest #1236: Happy Birthday “I bought him the shotgun for his birthday. I told him not to play with it. It was not a toy,” exclaims an emotional wife, crying her eyes out. “He had done this before. Like it was a game.” “Don’t worry,” he would say, pointing the gun to his head and pulling the trigger. “It’s not loaded.” The last time, it was. “Through the words of this book you will see through my eyes what I have seen throughout the years.”

Mitch Shamburger says his book, "Inquests: Living With The Dead', is "about a bunch of dead people and the one thing they have in common."...him. It's no wonder that Shamburger weaves stories of his life in between tales of murder, car crashes and general mayhem. After all, he's been Justice of the Peace in Winona for almost 30 years and his family roots go back generations.
Shamburger says he wrote the book so his grandchildren would know how it was to grow up in East Texas and to tell the stories for those who couldn't tell them themselves. Inquests: Living With The Dead" is available at the Winona City Hall. The Back Porch in Winona and at amazon.com
