My late antebellum historical fiction, The Tide Waits for No Woman, will be released in August 2025. In this debut work, I promise a lens looking at cross-cultural and multi-racial fictional characters interacting with historical figures in real settings and timelines and in authentic political, military, and social circumstances.
Many of the issues—including the recognition of women involved in the Underground Railroad, that their lives were not much better than those of the enslaved people they were helping move toward their Canaan.
Of course, many shades of gray existed on both sides of the American Tragedy about to unfold. Nobody could claim their hands were clean because of the interlocking economies of the North and South. Many of these points were probably left out of your history classes.
