Through digging through the archives of The Pampa News was how I was able to figure out where she was from.” “Evelyn is the perfect example of my interests,” Tate said. The two were able to make an immediate trip out to Pampa to delve into her life. Tate then contacted the Lovett Memorial Library for information, and was pointed toward the White Deer Land Museum. Through Internet searches, the duo were able to settle on the fact that Nace was from Pampa. Nace wrote under many pseudonym’s, making the job of learning about her all the more impossible for the researchers. “I immediately started trying to uncover who this person was, but it took me a while.” “The book completely took over my life, I wanted to know more about this author after sharing the book with our club,” Tate said. Tate came across “Eat Them Alive” and was left immediately wanting more of who this author was.
