Walk through African American history with my characters
as they face tough challenges and overcome harsh conditions. Rejoice with them
as they spiritually transcend all that besets them. There are no miracles in
my two books, only faith and determination. When readers finish More Than A Slave:
The Life of Katherine Ferguson (published by Moody Press of Chicago) they often want to know more about the Fulani girl,
who is introduced in chapter two. Her full story, and the story of her sister,
is told in my most recent novel, aptly titled The Fulani Girls. Based on more than 20 years of writing experience.
