And then this happened… I had a lovely time with readers at @gwinnettlibrary Norcross location and the #friendsofgwinettlibrary
I love sharing my passion for history with an audience hungry to hear about the women (and men) who changed the world.

@eagleeyebooks was on hand to sell copies of my books. They will have copies to sell at tonight’s event at #decaturpubliclibrary

Then I stoped @bnperimeter to see Sister Mother Warrior on the shelves, meet the great staff at @barnesandnoble and sign a few copies.

We had two fabulous authors stop by this morning to sign stock.
First was Jayne Allen signing her new book Black Girls Must Die Exhausted.
Next is Vanessa Riley with her new novel Island Queen.
Both of these books are now available. Ask a bookseller for assistance.

Book club at a bookstore— who was the genius to combine my two favorite things? Stormy Night Bookclub in Snellville is a beautiful group of readers.

I had so much fun discussing Sister Mother Warrior, Gran Toya, and Marie-Claire. They chose favorites!!!

Lovely ladies.

Now to the bookstore. I have not had a shameless @barnesandnoble post in a while. BN never disappoints.

My first single title appeared on a BN shelf in 2020. To see so many of my books and how some are prominently displayed is an unparalleled feeling!!!

The staff at @bnsnellville is fantastic. As I waited for the book club meeting to start, they were building displays while offering customers great-reads selections. Multi-taskers!

Then as standard practice, I hunted for friends' books, sought the Christmas displays, and caught the latest In Bridgerton fare.

PS: I signed copy of Island Queen, Sister Mother Warrior, and Murder in Westminster.

Last night!!!! Georgia Center for the Book at DCPL hosted me for a conversation about Sister Mother Warrior with Nicki Harris Salcedo at the DeKalb County Public Library (Decatur). The gracious Nicki is always amazing and kept things moving.
The crowd was wonderful, so engaged and supportive.

Many heard about Sister Mother Warrior from @npr my conversation with @wabecitylights @wabeatl with Lois Reitzes. Thank you City Lights.

Signed copies of Sister Mother Warrior and a few of my other books are with fabulous Eagle Eye Book Shop!

Don’t miss “a story that brings the Haitian Revolution to life and is based on the true-life stories of two dope sister mother warriors: the first Empress of Haiti, Marie-Claire Bonheur, and Gran Toya, a West African-born warrior…”The Root!
