How Does Truth Arrive?
Last week, my publisher sent me an advance review of BLUE. The reader was offended that circumstances changed quickly for these "characters lacking any depth" when "nothing happened for so long." Well... I don't know about the reviewer's life, but my life (and very likely yours) holds many of those wild moments where "truth" shifts faster than wind blowing across the Oklahoma plains and the people we once upon a time saw as dull or insignificant come to hold deep pools of wisdom. Looking back on those moments, I see that what seemed like "nothing" in the past was actually the slow working of time preparing me for here and now. (btw - I'd love to hear your insights.)
Book Excerpt
Blue: A Novel
Izabel bolted awake on the sofa, sitting up with a yelp. Lucas had been curled asleep beside her. He leapt away, yowling.
The TRUTH stone had fallen from her hand while she was asleep. It lay on the floorboards, glimmering in the rapidly dimming light from outside. Slowly, she leaned over and picked it up, her brain feeling too full and her movements deadened with the cold feeling she vaguely recognized as clinical shock.
A whisper came out of her mouth, almost on its own: “I remember.”
