She’s also starred in a number of other shows and movies! Here’s a pic of the two of us! She’s holding one of my books!

Black History Month
I hope all of you had an amazing week.
Just wanted to encourage all to celebrate Black History Month!
I grew up in the seventies. Back then, we didn’t learn about prominent African Americans such as Martin Luther King Jr. in the classroom – at least they did not teach about that in my area. I recall that I had to find out information about them by going to the library and by asking questions. Yes, we did learn about slavery – and I feel that all children need to learn the history of all races who are a part of America. We’re a nation that is built on immigrants as well as those who were forced to arrive here as slaves.
Check out some of my historical titles. The Baker’s Bride is about a freed slave who is now working in Philadelphia, trying to support herself. She’s also helping with the abolitionist movement. Ruth – the heroine in The Baker’s Bride – her boyfriend died because he didn’t receive medical care since he was a slave. If he’d not been discriminated – he may have lived. Such a traumatic event impels Ruth to do all that she can to obliterate slavery.
The Doctor’s Bride is my other historical title. Back in the 1800’s it was difficult for African-Americans to go to college – it was doubly hard if you were female. But Deborah, a school teacher, is determined to attend a women’s college to study botany.
I’m still writing The Blacksmith’s Bride. I’ve been sharing tidbits of research over the last few weeks.
I encourage you to check out all of my historical titles.
Have you read any interesting stories that delve into Black History? If so, please share!

I currently have two in-person events – February 22nd and June 28th. More information here.

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.
I’m still researching while I write my novel. My main character, Benjamin, is of mixed race. The term used during those times, for someone of his racial identity, was quadroon (1/4 Black or having one Black grandparent). Did you know that the African American communities had a social “caste” system where those who had lighter skin had a higher social status than those with darker complexions? At times, those with lighter skin may have better economic and social opportunities. However, these individuals were still considered Black under the law and by white society, for the most part.
As I mentioned last week, I’m having fun learning new things as I write The Blacksmith’s Bride.
