"Gold Fever" attracts readers as Kathryn J.S. Long talks about her mystery novel, OKLAHOMA'S GOLD, at Arabica Coffee House in Green, Ohio and Barberton Public Library in Barberton, Ohio

The fever of OKLAHOMA'S GOLD has captured the hearts and minds of many readers with its mystery, intrigue, romance, and adventure as many now ask, "When will the next one be out?"

GREEN, OH (PRWEB)September 22, 2004: With two upcoming events at Arabica Coffee House in Green, Ohio on Saturday, September 25th and at Barberton Public Library in Barberton, Ohio on Saturday, October 30th, author Kathy Long will have the opportunity to answer that question and more. This local author, originally from Barberton, Ohio, will be signing copies of her novel, OKLAHOMA'S GOLD and talking about what pleases her most -- writing this book. But the story doesn't stop here. Kathy has also written a second novel, A PLEASANT VIEW. She will gladly be telling visitors coming to her signings about that creative endeavor, which she hopes will be published and available sometime next year.

OKLAHOMA'S GOLD is an exciting, fast-paced mystery loaded with southwestern charm. Characters such as Emma Thomas, the town matriarch, demonstrate the strong-spirited, feisty side of its people, but mixed with a warm, caring nature. The story has its heroes as well as its villains. Jess Clinton, the young newcomer, and Daniel, the Indian ranch hand, work together in fighting the bad guys. Of course, no one in the story is truly certain who those bad guys are. So, at every turn they -Jess, Daniel, Emma - unearth more clues in trying to discover who attacked Fred Clinton and to find out why most of the Indian ranchers are being vandalized. Add to the mix some Native American magic, myth, and medicine; mysterious happenings from the past; and a murder or two -- you have one entertaining novel.

Kathy will be at Arabica at 11:00 am on Septmember 25th to sell and sign copies of her book. And then again at Barberton Public Library at 1:00 pm on October 30th where she will also do a reading and a discussion about her works.
