An African American woman moved home to take care of her dying mother giving up the opportunity to experience a world beyond segregation. Zoraida Hughes Williams finds that some things have changed about her hometown of Fort Worth, Texas while some have stayed the same, like Hell’s Half Acre, an area where saloons, prostitution and gambling runs wild. Like most of the residents, she wants to keep her head down and stay away from trouble, but it comes in the unlikely form of an Anglo Baptist preacher. He messes up everything and almost gets them killed.

I can tell because everything wants to distract me. You know what I mean, you stop to do something that should take five seconds and it takes five hours. You have a section that is not working, so instead of going to another section, you watch TV.
God is not playing with me on this one. He said focus. I am trying.

With each lead female character write about there is something, a scene, a task, that stays with me.
Whenever I am frying anything in a pan, I think of Zoraida.
Whenever I am driving down the street and my arm is hanging out the window, I think of Sandy.
This new character has me all messed up because she is always with me. This could be part of the writing process, but her love story has me. It haunts me, It speaks to me. I think it will knock you out too.
I tell stories because it is what I do, It is what I was created to do. I still write by hand some things. (I know I am old) But I love how God uses me to tell these.

Well, I have to get back to work. I have procrastinated long enough. I don’t know how this story is going to change the world, but it is certainly working its way through me. I can’t wait to share it with you.

Is there a story inside of you waiting to come out? When I started, I had no idea of where I was going, but it led me on a path of self-publishing. When I talked to companies that helped authors like me I could not afford them on a single mom’s salary. So I learned to do it myself. I am glad I did.
If you want to learn, email me. I will only take ten people in the class, but I promise you will be able to self publish yourself by the end of class.
I want to take a moment to say Thank You for your support of my first September Book Event. 2017 will hold some new things for me and these projects so make sure I have your email so you can stay informed.
