As an Oklahoma Author of the epic two-volume literary fiction novel, “Tares among the Wheat” I look forward to attending the Author Fest, March 28. Much of my novel is set in the vicinity of NW Oklahoma. Those who live in Enid or anywhere in the area will readily relate to the characters and the events of my novel.
While it is generally classified as Literary Fiction, the novel is akin to Historical Fiction. It includes mystery, romance, adventure, quest, triumph, catastrophe and failure. As backdrops to the story lines, the novel includes the Cherokee Strip Land Run, the Dust Bowl, Great Depression, World Wars, Wheat Farming, Cattle Ranching,Oil Wildcatting, and more.
My novel has appeal to men and women, from late teens to centenarians. As the son of an Alfalfa and Woods County Wheat Farmer, and as the grandson of Cherokee Strip Land Homesteaders, I was uniquely experienced in life, to write this emotionally moving saga.
