I love African American history and
I love romance. So when I can combine the two I’m every happiness cliché under
the sun times two. My creative juices don’t just flow but flood with a torrent
of “What ifs?”
Eban Thurman, the hero of my
upcoming release, One Breath Away, had me delving into the lives of “Black
Jacks,” African-American sailors and loving everything I learned. Writing Eban
into a romance, I could flavor his swagger and attitude with that of real life
Black Jacks while still enjoying the magic of “What if?”
