Editorial Reviews

Review

"I have read the book and really liked it! I don't often have the chance, nor the time, to read novels, but once I started this one I couldn't put it down."
B. Goodin, Lawton, Oklahoma --B. Goodin

"A great book, I loved it. The Dwayne character was fun to dislike
and watching his life deteriorate was wonderful. Grace emerging from the brutality of Dwayne unfolded beautifully."
C. M. Holtzinger

--C. M. Holtzinger

"Custer and His Naked Ladies," is not normally a book I would read. I loved the Oklahoma setting. It provides a unique flavor of it's own.
--Tiffany (Richards) Elliot, freelance writer and part-time editor

More About the Author

Hello! Thank you for looking at my page. I'm a part-Hispanic writer who grew up listening to stories in my grandmother's living room. Everyone in my family was a wonderful story-teller. If only they had written them down!
My first three novels, my Turtle Trilogy, were written in honor of this warm, close family that wasn't afraid to work hard and never forgot to laugh. I call the books fictional autobiographies, although they are usually placed in the fiction section. I also have a Kindle book, Bears in the Hibiscus, a humorous romance, and a mixed genre book, Free Pecan Pie and Other Chick Stories. My A Three-Turtle Summer novel won the Bold Media Fiction Award in 2002. As Brown As I Want: The Indianhead Diaries, was a finalist in the 2004 Oklahoma Book Awards, and a first place winner for fiction in the 1999 Surrey (Canada) Writers' Conference contest.
I love to read, and have many fond memories of the Carnegie Library in Lawton, my hometown. One of the perks of writing is that I can explore my interests in marine biology, anthropology, and archaeology and call it research!
Although I was born and raised in Oklahoma, I now live in Washington State with my husband. Our daughter and her family live close by. Oh, the stories we tell in our living rooms!
Recently, Kindle has expanded to the UK and Germany. I'd like to welcome all of you and I hope you'll enjoy your Kindle! I love mine!

5.0 out of 5 stars Custer and His Naked Ladies review, August 5, 2010

This review is from: Custer and His Naked Ladies (Paperback)

Janelle Meraz Hooper has done it again! Custer and His Naked Ladies is filled with quirky and likable characters in a richly detailed setting. Humor, family and love come shining through. There is a poignant line in the book that has stayed with me: "Old age had crept in and stolen their bodies while they were dancing through life." These women have danced!

I wish I knew these LOLS (little old ladies) of Oklahoma. They really knew how to love life, embrace it fully.
