Hi.

Welcome to my blog. I’m a reporter at the San Antonio Express-News, where I cover the Eagle Ford Shale, a massive oil and gas field to the south of San Antonio. If you live in South Texas and haven’t heard of it, you’re watching too much TV.

I grew up in Houston, got a journalism degree at the University of Texas at Austin and have since written a few thousand newspaper stories at papers across the country. I’m also known to write book reviews on occassion.

I love writing, reading, running exceedingly slow and the quiet time after the kids finally fall asleep. I wish I had more time for travel, hiking, surfing, bad reality television, gardening and sitting on my butt drinking Earl Gray tea. I have two cute children and an old house in perpetual renovation.

This blog will be about all of that.

You can follow me on Twitter at @Jennifer_Hiller or email me at jds_hiller (at) yahoo (dot) com.

Thanks for joining me.
