5th Generation Native Oklahoman-Book Signing

To tell the truth and save a friend’s life, or to stay silent and save your own reputation?

James Jennings, a fifth generation native Oklahoman who writes Western Fiction and whose latest book has been compared to Harper Lee’s, explores how far a man will go for justice and the nature of truth in his new novel, Blue Wild Indigo. Set against the dry, hard-edged landscape of the western Oklahoma prairie, Blue Wild Indigo is a love story at its core, as well as an exploration of life in the 1960s in a small town, not accustomed to change. Horsemanship, cattle ranching, and other pursuits that are still a part of the west, are told in vivid detail that only a native like James Jennings can describe.

According to award-winning author Charles Salzberg, Jennings’ setting and characters in Blue Wild Indigo convey a depth that is “steeped in the tradition of Southern and Southwestern writers like Larry McMurty and Harper Lee.”
