Author in town Saturday

By Randy Mitchell

Staff Writer

ADA — Ardmore Author Virginia McKinzie will visit Ada Saturday to autograph copies of her new book, ‘The Lady Who Lived in a Caboose.’

McKinzie will be at Hastings Book, Music and Video Store, 1140 Lonnie Abbott Ind. Blvd., from 12 to 5 p.m.

The Lady Who Lived in a Caboose is a read aloud children’s book about Millicent, a lady who — with a sense of adventure and fond memories of traveling on a train — decides to live in a caboose.

The book, written in verse, was illustrated by David Ortega and published by Life Vest Publishing Inc.

McKinzie lives near Ardmore but spent most of her life near Tucson, Ariz. She was encouraged to write children’s books by her daughters.

“If it wasn’t for the girls, I probably wouldn’t have bothered,” McKinzie said. The outcome has been a dream come true, she said.
