Saving Cash
Saving Cash is a first-of-its-kind, epic, indigenous fantasy tale. It is one of only a few novels that explores southeastern mound builder legends by reinvigorating and repackaging traditional Chickasaw stories for a modern audience by blending contemporary society and magical realism into a rare and bizarre road trip to the other side of the universe.
In Chickasaw culture, storytelling is an important way to preserve tradition. Saving Cash adapts and retells the author's own tribal legends in a way that is engaging yet sensitive to custom. Tribal stories do not have to be trapped in time. By retelling them, Saving Cash encourages readers to wrestle with their present by drawing on the wisdom of the past.
Saving Cash is a perfect read for fans of fantasy, magical realism, odyssey-style epics, indigenous folklore/mythology, cultural critiques, multi-cultural stories, own-voices stories, supernatural stories, or history.
