Simms Mitchell is an Oklahoma girl. She owns a ranch, and she can ride a horse. And, yes she knows what it means when her grandfather says, “Dad gummit , that would make a jack rabbit spit in a bulldog’s eye.” Of course, like every other properly bred southern girl, Simms was raised on football and fried chicken, and she knows never to leave the house without her lipstick on.
This teaser on the back cover of the new book “Hunting License” gives a hint at the storyline of the first novel of Shannon Davies, aka author Shannon Forth. It also hints at Davies’ real life.
Like her heroine, Davies is an Oklahoma girl who loves University of Oklahoma football. And as a veteran attorney, she, like her main character, handles sexual harassment and other employment law cases. Only none of her cases, so far, have threatened her life.
