Title: Flickers
Author: Kathryn Jordan
Publisher: Lyrical Press
Genre: General Fiction
Format: Kindle
At eighteen, Jack Sutter and Violet Winters are obsessed
with their love for each other, but he’s the gardener’s boy and she’s the only
child of one of California’s “robber baron” millionaires. When Violet’s family
pressures her into marrying the socially perfect but emotionally cold Maury
Rediston, Jack vows that someday he’ll take her away, and after a few months of
a loveless marriage, Violet’s ready to share his dream.
In order to win his Violet, Jack must throw over everything
he’s ever known, breaking with his Evangelical family, carving out a career in
the new world of the motion picture industry, while Violet must summon her
courage to face that very real terror to a woman of her time: divorce. Their
passionate love, fueled by the very illicitness of their affair, changes the
lives of everyone who cares about them. The most deeply affected of all is
Violet’s brother-in-law, Tip, whose troubled sexuality drives him headlong into
falling in love with Jack.

Kathryn Jordan learned early to blend her passions for
writing, teaching and adventure. She taught at Cairo American College in Egypt,
as well as in Spain and the Philippines, thus fulfilling her dream to see the
world not as a tourist but a resident. In Cairo she twice took the speech and
debate team to a championship in the Pan Hellenic Forensics League in Greece.
Her most recent teaching was at Amistad Continuation High School in Indio, CA
where the literary magazine her “at risk” students produced received top awards
from the Columbia Scholastic PressAssociation at Columbia University.
Ms. Jordan’s own writing has appeared in such diverse
publications as Westways, Palm Springs Life, Ranger Rick, Diver Magazine and a
book, A Diver’s Guide To Underwater America. She holds a Masters degree in
English from U.C.L.A. and attended Bread Loaf, Squaw Valley and the Santa Fe
Writers’ Conference. She gleans early morning hours for her writing, savoring
the quiet time that is all hers.
Kathryn Jordan has long felt that the years she spent in
Egypt were the experience of her lifetime and material for the novel she always
wanted to write, IN THE TIME OF APRICOTS.
