McCombs BBA and MBA alumna Alice Schroeder’s book “The Snowball,” is No. 1 on the New York Times Bestsellers Non-Fiction List.
Biography from publisher, Random House: Author Alice Schroeder is a noted insurance industry analyst and writer who was a managing director at Morgan Stanley. She first met Warren Buffett when she published research on Berkshire Hathaway; her grasp of the subject and insight so impressed him that he offered her access to his files and to himself. Their friendship and mutual respect make her ideally positioned to write the “The Snowball.”
Ms. Schroeder was born in Texas, and she earned an undergraduate degree and her MBA at The University of Texas at Austin before moving east to work in finance. She is a former CPA and lives in Connecticut with her husband.

I want to offer a kind word of congratulations to Ms. Schroeder. I too am a published author and know how arduous the process can be. Was she always interested in both writing and Warren Buffet or did the encounter with Buffet just present itself as good material?
My book is a children’s storybook, Sentarse Means Sit, and is currently airing on Houston Public Broadcasting Stations (PBS). It will be broadcast nationally later, based on programming in other local markets.
