My
new novel, Till You Hear
From Me, has an April
20, 2010, publication date! Till You
Hear From Me (Ballantine/One World)
returns readers to West End, the Atlanta neighborhood
that has been the setting for my last four novels,
and introduces Ida Dunbar, only daughter of the
Reverend Horace A. Dunbar, Atlanta civil rights
icon and self-described foot soldier for freedom.
Unfortunately, Ida fears her father's criticism
of the new administration may sidetrack her hopes
of landing a job in the Obama White House. Returning
home to try and talk to her father, Ida runs
into Wes Harper, an old friend who has plans
of his own for the Reverend and finds that going
home is never as easy as it seems. Till
You Hear From Me features
a new cast of characters and brings back some
West End regulars. Author appearances will be
listed here soon!
Seen It All and Done
the Rest, was
be published by Ballantine/One World in March 2008.
The book is set in southwest Atlanta and introduces
some new characters, including Josephine Evans,
an actress at home on the stages of the world, but
confused at the changes in her hometown, and Greer
Woodruff, who is running out of patience and time,
not necessarily in that order, as she tries to finalize
her last big deal. It also catches up with some
old friends from West End, the
neighborhood that was the
setting for my last three novels, including Zora
Evans, Abbie Allen Browning, Peachy Nolan and Aretha
Hargrove. Read
