Wade Rouse chose his grandmotherβs name, Viola Shipman, as a pen name to honor the woman whose heirlooms and family stories inspire his fiction. "My novels are a tribute to my Ozarks grandma, Viola Shipman. The jangling of her charm bracelet was as ever-present as the call of the whippoorwill, the scent of her hope chest as vivid as cedars after a spring rain, and her burnished wood recipe box stuffed with family recipes that still make my mouth water."
