Bernadette Pruitt

Bernadette Tabor Pruitt started her writing career in the fifth grade with pretend newspapers showing male classmates behind bars. Despite that, she was later allowed to write for some real newspapers, including the Tulsa World and the Dallas Morning News. A graduate of the University of Oklahoma Professional Writing Program, she also taught journalism at the college level. She once spent a year touring Europe and North Africa in a Volkswagen camper with her husband and two small dogs. In addition to traveling, her interests include interior decorating, genealogy (she’s half Slavic) and reading. She and her husband live in Wichita Falls, Texas. Her latest book, “Oldies but Goodies,” is about three seniors who sneak off from a retirement home to right the wrongs of their pasts.
