Background
Information
|
|
Born and raised in Atoka County, Oklahoma instilled a love for its rich history in Priscilla. So it is no accident that this area provides the setting for her historians. She lives near Ten Mile Creek in the foothills of the Kiamichi Mountains. Both the Texas Military Road and the Butterfield Stage route run through the area. She has trekked the wilds of Boogaboo Canyon, walked in the
past surrounded by the whispered voices of Captain Atoka and Eliza Flack. She has also visited with moon shiners, and the now-abandoned sites of their stills. This first-hand knowledge allows her to deliver a strong, distinctive sense of place, giving readers a unique view of this region and its history.
She is an active member of EPIC, Women Writing the West, Oklahoma Writer’s Federation, Inc., McWriters, EPPRO, and a graduate of Writer's Digest School. One of her short stories, “To Hell and Back, was published in a collection of works by native writers, funded by the Lannan Foundation, for the Chickasaw National Library. She has published in Trends for Victims, a victim services newsletter, Calico Trails, ReadtheWest.com, Women Writing the West, and Better Homes and Gardens.
