Peter L. Scamardo II
@plscamardo2.bsky.social
MySA’s Austin/Hill Country editor by day, struggling author by night
“The Boys in the Brazos River Bottom” (2021)
“The Flyers” (2024)
I just saw the news that Trinity University Press will close in December 2026. Absolutely devastating for a publication that's been a voice for so many Texas authors and readers.

These 7 Texas-born college football stars are all multimillionaires. Safe to say amateur sports are a thing of the past. @mysanantonio.com

Ramblings will range from my dog Javi to new movies, travel spots, great books, Italian nonsense, Superman and Spider-Man, and anything else that pops into my head.

Never stop taking paper notes. You never know when you’ll find the earliest scribbles of a story it’ll take you 10 years to publish.

An actual tweet from the White House. Palpatine was way more subtle.

I'm lucky that I (kinda) get to write about ranches for a living. But a one-of-a-kind resort in West Texas that's hit the market has the makings of a Lone Star State White Lotus. Hear about the JL Bar Ranch, Resort, Spa & Sport @mysanantonio.com

I was lucky enough to visit the Von Erich Ranch outside Boerne to hear from wrestling legend Kevin Von Erich about returning to Texas after almost 20 years in Hawaii.

Thankfully no one gave me the Iron Claw. @mysanantonio.com

Why go to Schlitterbahn when you have your own lazy river at home? A $1.2 million home in New Braunfels is offering a place to let your worries float away.
