Roots
You can take the girl out of Oklahoma, but you can't take Oklahoma out of the girl. Writing fiction is an eye-opening process. My novel BLUE is a book sandwiched in between two memoir-ish endeavors on my part (As I Lay Pondering: daily invitations to live a transformed life and the in-process travel memoir, An Accidental Pilgrim). Still, the reader who observes closely will find hints of my story throughout BLUE. Yes, I used to play pinball and eat chili dogs (we called them coneys) down on the Strip at Oklahoma State University. Did I sneak into the presidential suite of the Sig Alph house? I'm not a kiss and tell sort of girl, so some things will remain a discreet mystery. ;)
Book Excerpt
Blue: A Novel
Jack’s effect on Monica was calming. It reminded her of the way her dad used to talk about his and June’s first few months together. “Daddy used to get all dreamy-eyed when he talked about their time at Oklahoma State: playing pinball and eating chili dogs down on the Strip; stealing kisses by Theta Pond and sneaking into his presidential suite in the Sig Alph house. They were the golden couple on campus. They used to stroll hand in hand through the hedgerows and cheer together at football games. He said he was the luckiest man alive when they got married.”
