Martin Luther King Day

I hope all of you had an amazing week.

It’s Martin Luther King Day. This is a day to stop and reflect on all that MLK accomplished for civil rights in America. He used non-violent means to further the rights for people of color. Happy heavenly birthday Dr. King!

We had more snow yesterday! Here’s a ​short video​ – apologies for the background noise. My son was watching TV in the living room while I filmed this on my phone! I love snow!

The Blacksmith’s Bride

I’m still writing ​The Blacksmith’s Bride​ – a historical novel set a few years after the Civil War. The Blacksmith’s Bride is the third book in the ​Romance Bride Series​. Whenever I write a book, especially a historical, I must do tons of research. Benjamin, one of the main characters, is of mixed ancestry – the term for his heritage – used during that time – was quadroon. Philadelphia, where my story is set, had a large Black population. Sometimes, within the African-American communities, a caste system was formed where people who had lighter skin were seen as having a higher status than those with darker complexions.

Benjamin is a blacksmith and this job requires a lot of hard, physical labor. I’m having fun learning new things as I write my novel.
