He resented the notion that blacks and black culture was reducible to something resembling a freshman survey course or a chemistry class for non-technical majors. But he didn’t say that.

And what then? “I don’t know,” Abby had said. “Guess I’ll find out, huh?” (FLINT, Mich. – Nov. 28, 2020) In the debut literary novel, MOTOWN MAN, Bradley and Abby are an interracial couple looking to build a life together in a fading factory town rife with veiled racia…

America is consumed by coast to coast violent protests, and for all intents and purposes, the country is in civil war. Political and racial divisions have resulted in the the formation of hundreds of militias, representing the far right, the far left, and everything in between. All of them are at war with each other. The main plot involves an Asian rookie reporter, named F…

Both labor intensive and requiring a lot of land, the colonists found it necessary to steal land from the Native Americans and use slave labor to work the fields. …
