Is Eden Okla a real town?


How can I order books?

TO ORDER A RECENTLY PUBLISHED BOOK, GO TO THE HOME PAGE AND CLICK ON THE BOOK COVER. THAT WILL TAKE YOU TO A PROVIDER FROM WHOM YOU CAN ORDER THE BOOK ON-LINE. FOR OLDER BOOKS, CHOOSE ONE OF THE BOOKSELLER LINKS IN THE LEFT PANEL ON THIS PAGE OR SEARCH THE WEB BY BOOK TITLE.



Could Eden,Ok, by any chance, be Terral, OK? I have been reading your book and have followed the directions of the storyline and am curious to know if Eden, was indeed, a true community or if you have changed the name in your story. Your response would be appreciated.

EDEN IS NOT A REAL PLACE. IT IS, RATHER, A CONGLOMERATION OF ALL THE SMALL TOWNS IN THE AREA. I GREW UP AROUND COMANCHE, SO IN A WAY, EDEN IS A COMPILATION OF MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES OF THE AREA. THE TOPOGRAPHY HAS BEEN INTENTIONALLY SKEWED SO THAT EDEN CANNOT BE SPECIFICALLY PLACED ON A MAP.

Who are the 2 young boys on the cover of your book titled "Single with Children"? Are they your grandchildren?

I RARELY KNOW THE NAMES OF THE MODELS USED FOR THE ARTWORK. THEY ARE NOT MY GRANDCHILDREN. OCCASIONALLY ONE OF THE MODELS OR A PARENT OF ONE OF THE MODELS WILL CONTACT ME, AND I'M ALWAYS DELIGHTED TO HEAR FROM THEM AND AUTOGRAPH BOOKS FOR THEM.
