New e-Book is a snapshot of the deep-seeded racism fueling Arizona’s conservative extremism

Nov. 27, 2010 - PRLog -- “A shocking murder. A timeless love. A town divided.”

“Havasu Means Blue Water” a new e-book about a fictional Arizona town mired in the politics of division and anti-immigrant fever was written several years before the State became nationally known as a stronghold for conservative extremism says Author Ivory Simone. “Although my novel is about a fictional Arizona town, it has many of the features that have come to characterize the entire state. It’s a town ruled by the fear, insecurities and ignorance of its people who, in turn, victimize members of groups perceived to be threatening outsiders or weak and otherwise vulnerable individuals,” Simone said.  “Wilburn, Arizona is a town with a violent past, facing a bleak future. Sooner or later Arizonans will have to make the same choice the people of Wilburn do, they’ll have to find a way to live together as a united people or perish,” she added.    

The novel will be released December 1, 2010 through lulu.com, Amazon Books and other major e-book distributors. An e-book trailer has been posted at YOUTUBE in advance of the  publication date. To find out more details about the book and read an chapter excerpt go to:
