PRAISE FOR OUT AND IN
DELETED SCENE FROM OUT AND IN
During Cole’s rookie year, Louise and Dandy had us over for dinner, but she spent most of the time telling me what to do. She was ten years older and a nervous chain smoker, a bleached blonde but already showing gray roots.
“Be sure to buy lots of cheap drink glasses for entertaining. They’ll break, of course, but you’ll always have enough for parties, or when the guys drop by. Plastic cups are gauche. And you won’t need coasters if you put lots of wax on your end tables like I do.”
“Good advice,” I nodded.
She lit another cigarette. Louise never failed to have one hanging. “I always tell Randy, you quarterback the guys, and I’ll quarterback the wives.”
I smiled my best cheerleader smile, although I had no attention of letting this annoying woman quarterback any part of my life.
Reason it hit the cutting room floor:
Pat Dunlap Evans was born in Michigan but “got to Texas as soon as I could,” she says. Her family lived in San Antonio and later Dallas, where she attended South Oak Cliff High School and Southern Methodist University. Pat eventually completed her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in English at University of Missouri, Kansas City, with emphasis on creative writing. She also taught freshman writing courses as a part-time lecturer. After a divorce, Pat stressed her way as a single mom through twenty-five years of high-stress advertising and marketing roles before retiring to write fiction and screenplays. She lives in the Lake Travis area with her second husband Dr. Bill Evans and enjoys travel, golf, volunteer work, sailing, and the chaos of the couple’s combined five adult children, five grandchildren, and two cockalier dogs.
Pat has published two novels, To Leave a Memory and Out and In, with a third novel Those Who Try due out soon.
