Mourning Becomes Her: a novella

I am a Ford Motor Company Journalism Scholar and a Mellon Fellow.

The Harlow Ophelia Jackson Mystery series. Set in Harlem in 1926, we follow the adventures of shimmy dancer Harlow Ophelia Jackson, her Howard University educated husband David, her Irish NYPD cop ex-lover Declan O'Sullivan, and her juke joint singer bestie B.B. as they navigate the wild and roaring twenties and murder in the Big Apple. The first title in the three book series is "Speaking Is Easy". Follow my blog for a taste of moonlight, magic, and mystery! http://www.speakingiseasy.wordpress.com

NOTE: I just finished the first draft of Speaking of War, the second book in the series! I am on fire!
