IT CONTINUES TO BE A STRANGE STATE

The first comprehensive compilation of all that is strange for the state of Oklahoma, Cullan Hudson's Strange State: Mysteries and Legends of Oklahoma, continues as one of the best on the market for any state.

Well written, illustrated by the author (who is also a graphic artist) Strange State is filled with touches of wry wit and revealing both an open mind and a logical skepticism.

The book covers the entire gambit of strange, from reports of Bigfoot sightings (some possibly from the 19th century), to Hauntings, Lost Treasure, UFO's, Zombies and everything in between.

Available on Amazon, the book is perfect for paranormal, mystery, and folklore lovers.

An Interview with Author Christy Elkins

As part of an ongoing series highlighting new writing talent, here is the latest " Interv iew of the Imagination" with author Christy Elkins.     The author of children's books such as Noah's Mark, The Seedling Heart and adult novels such as Parallel, Lilac Hill , and The Dusty Road . As always, the interviews start in a place of special meaning or significance to the author or their work.  So, on that ship of the mind let us set sail...

I’ve been many things; a photographer, insurance agent, accountant, among others, but my latest

Anne Urne's Communion of Saints

A delightful journey into the heart of what it means to be human and wonder and seek for answers.  A rollicking journey of an "author aboard" when things go hilariously wrong.  A thought provoking look at how we perceive spiritual matters. Most of all a good read!

The Bone War of McCurtain County

Having loved dinosaurs (who didn't?), imagined myself as an Indiana Jones of old bones, and strolling wide-eyed through various natural museums soaking in the fossilized remains of prehistoric giants, I was delighted when I received this book to read.  I simply thought it would be a academic type account of the finding of some rare bones in a overlooked corner of Oklahoma in the middle 1980's.   Appearances, and assumptions, can be mistaken.   The book is a complex, riveting, and rollar coaster ride through a vicious tug-of-war between corporate greed, individual capitalist endeavor, and academic snobbery. Author Russell Ferrell has uncovered a "Peyton Place" of real palentogological history! Coming in at just over 400 pages, The Bone War of McCurtain County by Russell Ferrell (Rabelius Publishing, Waxahachie, Texas, 2013) , is a story of a "Backwoods Hillbilly and Choctaw Indian" as they battle for "treasure, truth and justice."    It the cla
