Tulsa Tempest — Now in Print! Check It Out!

Clean Teen Reads

Clean Teen ReadsIt’s here! At last! Tulsa Tempest (#1 in the 4-title Tulsa series) now in print, and all decked out in a fresh new cover.

When country girl Tessa Jurgen learns that her bootlegging father has promised her in marriage to a man she doesn’t love, she seeks refuge in the progressive boomtown of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The year is 1921. As governess to the children of an oil baron, Tessa is befriended by the black household servants, Chloe, Jasper and Pole. Together they become a family.

But the handsome schoolteacher, Gaven MacIntyre, is also interested in forming a partnership with Tessa, despite his worry that she is “overly friendly” to black people. Racial tensions remain at a simmer until Jasper and a friend are accused of “accosting” a white girl.

Will Tessa stand up for what she knows is right, even if it means losing Gaven? Or will she be drawn into Tulsa’s tempest of prejudice and hatred?

Early Reviewers Agreed:

“A definite page-turner in every sense! It’s a great historical read that is entwined with a sweet romance.” – Romance Reader at Heart

“Ms. Lutz does an excellent job in revealing the true emotions of the characters and even those who are downright nasty in the storyline. I found the whole ambiance of the story most believable in every way. Indeed a read that was engaging for this reader.” – Coffee Time Romance

The Boy Who Played with Fusion

 

In this Teens on the Scene post, we take a look at a real live “mad scientist.” Ha. Just kidding. But there was a time when his parents weren’t really sure. When Taylor Wilson wasn’t yet a teenager, he was concocting some pretty scary stuff out in the family’s garage.

Rather than stifling him, or shutting Taylor down, his parents went to extra lengths to ensure that their son was connecting with mentors who understood more about what Taylor was doing than they did.

That’s how Taylor wound up in Reno, NV. Here’s a quote from an article that profiles Taylor’s life and accomplishments.

Taylor’s parents supported his unusual avocation, helped him find mentors, and even relocated the family to Reno, Nevada, so that he and his brother could attend a public school for profoundly gifted children. With the help of supportive professors and technicians in the University of Nevada’s physics department, Taylor built his “fusor” and entered it in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, the “Super Bowl” of precollege science events.  [Read more HERE]

Curious to know more about what all Taylor was doing throughout his teen years? Check out the book about his life: The Boy Who Played With Fusion.

Meanwhile, enjoy the video of his TED Talk — one of many that Taylor has presented.
