Book Signing Set for Saturday, March 16 from 1 to 3:30 p.m.
River Spirit Casino Resort, 8330 Riverside Parkway in Tulsa
After 13 years of writing through tears and heartache, Norma Sampson Bible penned a biography of her famous brother Native American actor and artist Will Sampson.
Bible wanted to share more than the stories that appeared in newspapers about her brother who was known throughout Indian Country and in Hollywood. Sampson appeared in several television series and movies. He was most notably known for this role in the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.
Bible’s tribute to her brother is titled, “Beloved Brother, The Biography of Will “Sonny” Sampson.”
As she wrote in her book, “I want to tell you about the young man who roamed far and wide, always looking over the horizon for his place in the sun. I want to share stories about his life and about how at the end of his life, with his body broken down by his illness, he still tried to do what he could for everybody, regardless of race or color, and most especially for his Indian people.”
Sampson was a full-blood Creek Indian who used his God-given talents to become a famous personality.
A book signing for “Beloved Brother” will be held Saturday, March 16 at River Spirit Casino Resort, 8330 Riverside Parkway, Tulsa. The book signing is from 1 to 3:30 p.m. Bible’s son, Norman Daniel, will be on hand to sign the books on behalf of his mother Norma.
“When my mother was writing the book about her brother, I never thought it would come to fruition,” Daniel said.
Bible passed away in 2009, but Daniel kept hoping his mother’s book would someday be published.
“I’m glad others will now be able to read about the Will Sampson we knew and loved,” he said. “I’m also thankful that my cousin Arlene Efurd sought out publishers to produce the book.”
The cost of “Beloved Brother” is $10 and is published by Kast Publishing, LLC., located in Norman, Oklahoma. For more information visit, http://www.KastPublishing.com.
