In or near the Branson area? I will be signing copies of my books at T. Charleston's Books and Gifts in the Grand Village Shops, this Thursday morning, the 31st, before lunch. Stop by to chat. In each of the Pinterest boards below, I've pinned some interesting images and videos that relate to my books, Crumbling Spirit and Out of the Wind. I'm new to the Pinterest game, and I'm not sure of its usefulness to a writer, but I have a couple of ideas for which I may start collecting inspiration. We'll see how this goes.
I always introduce the Murrah Building to my students by showing it from the more picturesque southern side. This angle shows more of the building's architecture. In front of the building is a park-like area, with trees and a waterfall feature surrounded by plaques with the names of the agencies that occupied the Murrah. Also visible is a small plot of grass where the children in the daycare were allowed to play (also the place where the young fatalities were laid after they were recovered. Underneath it all was a parking garage. In this picture, taken in May of 1995, one can observe the effects of the blast - the broken windows and the light streaming through from the north, where the building was completely destroyed. Julia makes some of these observations as she relates her account in my book, Crumbling Spirit. |
