“It was the only time I ever heard from God. ‘Prejudice demands an age of accountability—how old are you?’ It was the weirdest thing. His voice sounded just like Johnny Cash, but his vocab reeked like someone studying way to hard for the SATs." It's the 60's. An orchard dependent economy. Migrant workers. Cesar Chavez. Prejudice. Tolerance. Injustice. Faith. Everybody has a story. EXPERIMENT STATION ROAD: the play, the novel, the novel series by Gwen Mansfield
Was I only 5 when I gathered the neighborhood kids together (total of 3) and began directing fairy tales? I had this innate ability to land the lead in Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White while my cohorts were doomed to play sullied stepsisters, spindle-wielding witches and apple-bearing stepmothers. As I packed the fairy tales away for reading Pulitzer Prize plays and best selling literary works, it was my love for images, my affection for words and my adoration for the story that drew me from actress to director to writer. Captured in a world of words and driven to invite the reader on a redemptive journey, I am committed to explore the condition of humanity, assemble the puzzle pieces of plot and find a way to tell my tale.
Coming in August--the novel, Experiment Station Road, available on Kindle, Nook, I-Pad and most places you read electronically. Share your thoughts about the novel! I want to hear from you!
