Set Your Table With Food For Thought

Nubian Queens Literary Book Club of Southern California

One of the perks of being an author has been, for me, connecting with other readers and their book clubs.

I had the privilege of receiving an invitation to join the Nubian Queens Literary Book Club of Southern California as they discussed SEEDS OF DECEPTION. And you all know I love nothing better than bringing to light little-known history. It’s what I live for.

These well-read ladies asked the most thought-provoking questions so I knew they’d devoured the book and all of its nuances. We wondered what it would have been like had newly freed slaves been granted a small allotment of the land which they’d worked and built up for their enslavers. What made one oppressed people - Native Americans- oppress another people? How often the “big secret” contained in the novel happened in real life. Probably more frequently than anyone realized.

It was a deep discussion, and I relished every minute of it. It is, in fact, part of the reason I wrote the novel: to set the table with food for thought. I just hope they enjoyed it as much as I did.
