I thought I would share with you some quotes I’ve come across recently that I found helpful for me as I trudge through my second book.
Yes, I’m trudging.
There is always a moment for me when I’m writing, that a scene or chapter or book will click into place and all the pieces come together as they should.
I’ve had small clicks and half clicks but I’m waiting on the big click. Lol
In the meantime, I’m reading books that will be useful for research.
My latest is a book called “Passing” and the author’s name escapes me at the moment but it is an older book. I thought it might be helpful as my main character in book #2 of The Garrison Saga is passing for white in 1868 Philadelphia.
And speaking of books, I recently read an older book titled, “The Shadow of the Wind.” Some of you may have read it. I loved the story, but I especially loved the way it was written. The different sections and the points of view. Definitely one of the better ones I have read so far this year.
Hope all is well with everyone.
Thanks for following.
Good morning. Buenas Dias, bon jour, etc. My mother is visiting France this month, so I thought I’d be different in my greeting. Haha. Thanks for sharing your reading, and about the author of Passing, do you not have the book at hand? Sounds interesting! So does your new project. Are you of mixed race, or nationality? Most of us have a blend of some sort, huh? I am currently reading a book written by a man, which is unusual. It’s The Virginia Valley, by Douglas Malcolm. Have you seen, or heard of it? Check it out. My second great grandfather, maternal side, was of Scots-Irish descent, so I hear. Somehow, he impregnated an African native, slave, and several generations later, Walla!, down to me! Enjoy your day!

I have the book on my iPad and was not able to switch back n forth to grab the author’s name. It is Nella Larsen. I am not biracial but I am married to a black man and we have a biracial daughter. My current book on Amazon touches on these issues but is more focused on abolition and the Underground Railroad. This current one I’m working on is a continuation of the story of this particular family. Thx for your comment. Teresa
