What's your point?

Ah, now that's my question: what evidence do you have that the book was "written" the year before the bombing? Let alone "4 years before"?

All I can see - and prove, as I did with the Library of Congress website link...

...is that it was published in 1996. Which, you might note, would certainly account for the choice of Oklahoma and the phonetic similarity with the now-executed perpetrator's name.

Within another framework: is it more likely, with the bombing having taken place in April 1995 and the book having been published no later than December 1996 - that the book took between roughly 9 and 21 months to write or, as you seem to be saying, that it took four years?

And if it did take four years, how do you know that the author's selection of location and character name didn't come along until after - or indeed, weren't influenced or inspired by - the tragic events in Oklahoma City on April 19th, 1995?
