‘ALMOST A MURDER’ A Fascinating Look Into a Piece of Tulsa History
Thank you so much for spreading the word about Masterpiece Smiles.
At Masterpieces Smiles, we’re lucky to serve an incredible group of patients who achieve remarkable things. One of those patients, Jody Seay, recently co-authored a book detailing one of the craziest true crime stories in Tulsa history. The book, “Almost a Murder,” came out in June. It’s both a thrilling page turner and a fascinating look into our community’s past. Jody co-authored the book with Jim Lloyd, a Masterpiece Smiles patient and the presiding defense attorney of the case the book covers. “I knew Jim because he was a Rolfing
CITRUS AND AVOCADO SALAD
[a type of holistic medicine] client of mine for many years,” Jody says. “One day I asked him what his most fascinating case was. That question ended up being the start of our partnership as authors.” Turns out Jim didn’t only have a fascinating case to tell Jody about; he also had a manuscript to go along with it. The problem was that that manuscript had been rejected dozens of times. Jody had no trouble understanding why. “It was a great story,” Jody recalls, “but it was far from a good book. I told Jim I could help breathe some life into his text, and he asked for my help.” Jody’s first novel, “The Second Coming of Curly Red,” was honored by the Oregon Book Awards, and she enjoyed the process of collaborating on a true crime story. “You can’t go on imaginary tangents when you’re writing nonfiction,” Jody says. “That wasn’t a problem in this case, as the story was wilder than what I could’ve ever come up with. Mostly, I had to encourage Jim to be as vulnerable and honest as possible in order to tell the story in the best possible way. My hat’s off to him for going there, as it’s not always easy.” In addition to her literary skills and her work as a Certified Rolfer, Jody is also a recent inductee into the Texas Radio Hall of Fame. She’s regularly in Tulsa, and you can check out her schedule at JodySeay.com or call Stephen Saunders (918) 605-6508 for appointments. “Almost a Murder” can be purchased from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and AlmostAMurder.com. We’ll also have a select number of copies for sale in our office. Stop by today to pick up this mind- blowing tale of Tulsa history.
