Christy Stillwell – THE WOLF TONE

Although not scheduled for release til January 2019, Gallatin County listeners got an early chance to hear Bozeman author, Christy Stillwell, read from her novel, THE WOLF TONE, published by Elixir Press, at the Country Bookshelf in Bozeman. MT on  Dec. 6th, 2018.

Set in the fictional university, quiet cow-town of Deaton, MT, it tells the tale of the adventures – and misadventures – of a wounded middle aged cellist, who receives an unexpected phone call from the mother of her unsuspected grandson, their lovers, the marijuana underworld, and the complexities that ensue.

As for the title and powerful metaphor:  “A wolf tone, or simply a “wolf”, is produced when a played note matches the natural resonating frequency of the body of a musical instrument, producing a sustaining sympathetic artificial overtone that amplifies and expands the frequencies of the original note, frequently accompanied by an oscillating beating (due to the uneven frequencies between the natural note and artificial overtone) which may be likened to the howling of the animal.”
