Title: Nine O'Clock Blue
Description: "I like the voice" wrote literary fiction's guru, Susan Straight (Author of High Wire Moon; I Been in Sorrow's Kitchen and Licked Out All the Pots; Aquaboogie). Professors of universities, as well as secondary school teachers, have used this book to teach literary and historical fiction, calling it a preeminent work about the important themes of the Twentieth Century. Book clubs and individual readers have also discussed the book. 

Shades of the deep South, the mystic North and the turbulant urban sreets of LA paint an epic journey for the reader through the eyes of Delia May Burris as she seeks release from a haunting past. Intrigue and a compelling narrative cinch the natural world to the intertwining relationships that define a life and an era.  Readers report that the book keeps them gripped in suspence until the end.
