Blue Sleighty

And, I didn't want to give up my life for anyone else's dreams. I wanted to live and explore and learn. I wanted to know EVERYTHING and go everywhere. And, I wanted to be in charge of my own life, my own money, and make my own decisions and be me (The Retreat, My Secret Obsession). She can take you from tale to emotion in less than eight seconds, and when she’s ready to do it, the process doesn’t include searching through a linguistic thicket. Blue has the unique capability to express in a few precise and well-chosen words what it takes other writers multiple sentences, paragraphs or even chapters to portray. Not that she’s short on her stories. Each tale is packed with intriguing storylines, stunning visuals, and expressions on every page that add fuel to the Texas wildfire she has spiritedly set herself. When you read her work, you quickly find that Blue is Texas’ answer to Don Juan with an attitude. Women want her. Men want to be her. No one can have her unless she wants to be had, and it’s always on her terms. From her first true love and true heartbreak, Bette, to the women that come and go and come again, we find in Blue what we wish our lives could be like if we could do it a second time around. Just minding her business seems to be the best time for something exciting to drop into Blue’s lap, at times literally! Behind a bar or behind the wheel of a “borrowed” truck, Blue makes her own way and does it with unforgettable flare. With honest, down-to-the-nut-cuttin’ wit and wisdom, Blue’s adventures are larger than life as she goes head to head with dangerous characters, exciting situations, and even more dangerously exciting women. Because of the genre, the first word that comes to mind is sex, but Blue has written so much more. The secret obsession is not the obvious. What ties each chapter, each stop along the way, each lover, and even each adversary, is the road. Blue Sleighty’s secret obsession appears to be the journey itself. She is a traveler, who with special guests or more permanent companions, continues to seek what’s over the next hill. Even her favorite part of Texas, The Hill Country, is more than meets the eye. Blue’s Hill Country is a metaphor for life, rolling and somewhat rugged, a surprise waiting at just the right moment when you can survey the wondrous beauty of a valley bursting with wild flowers or face a road that suddenly ends and leads nowhere, both revealed only after you have reached the top. Only after you’ve gotten there. In Blue’s world, anything can happen in a moment’s notice. In Blue’s world, it’s Mama who is “the rolling stone,” and with her books in our hands, we get to roll right along with her.
