When you talk to old people who are close to death and ask them what their biggest regrets were, it's almost always something to do with letting "fear" stop them from doing something they wanted to do...whether it involved money, love, career move, etc....

In 2021, I published the first book in the whileBlack Chronicles’ African American Historical Fiction Series, “If Cotton Could Talk”. This month, I will publish book five. The fictional family was enslaved, survived the KKK during Reconstruction, and joined the great migration to Chicago, where this generation learned it was the same injustice, just a different accent. In Book five, “If Courage Could Talk,” A great-grandson, Earl, is elected Alderman in Chicago. When he pushes Unions to hire more Blacks, Earl is threatened by a notorious gangster. When WWII begins, a nephew leaves Chicago for Alabama to qualify as a Tuskegee Airmen. Earl’s son Boyd also joins the war and fights the Military Police in England, who try to enforce segregation. UNTIL THE LION TELLS THE STORY, THE HUNTER WILL ALWAYS BE THE HERO I have a free eBook promotion on am*zon, Aug 11-Aug 12, “If Cotton Could Talk” The series is described as informative and entertaining!

Hello everyone My name is Aaron, and I’m reaching out to kindly request a review consideration for my client’s children’s book, Liah’s Midnight Train Adventure. This story centers around a young Black girl named Liah who, during a midnight journey, learns that patience, courage, and trust can lead to unexpected joy — even in moments of fear and uncertainty. When her beloved cat, Momo, goes missing at the train station, Liah wants to panic and act fast. But through her father's gentle guidance, she learns that sometimes, staying calm and waiting is the bravest thing you can do. At its heart, the book carries the message: Good things take time, and patience can make all the difference. It would be an honor to have Liah’s Midnight Train Adventure reviewed by the African American Book Club, whose work I deeply admire in supporting Black literature and authors. I believe this story adds a gentle and empowering voice to the bookshelf of young readers — especially those who deserve to see themselves reflected in stories of growth, family, and emotional resilience. If you’re currently accepting children’s books for review, I’d love to send you a digital or physical copy, along with any additional materials you may need.
