I began my 'Journey into Authorship' in 2018 after watching an interview on Good Morning Britain between Kate Garraway and Professor Brian Llewellyn, a Punch & Judy professor in North East England. I was driven for over two years to write my first book, called 'Joan' which I published through Kindle Direct Publishing on September 15, 2020.
The book is about Joan Pulcinella, an immortal woman who wakes up in a hospital with no memory of why or how she got there. She has loved, married, and lived out her dream of a family, but as she squints more closely at her reflection, she is suddenly overwhelmed by her current nightmarish situation. She is immortal. Alone and without her family. An eternity without them would be a living hell!
As she struggles to remember, every instinct in her is fighting for dominance - fear, anger, frustration. She tries to scream, but nothing comes out. You can find out more by reading the book which is available at any good online bookstore.
My second book 'Memories Of...' was launched on April 6, 2023. It is an fictional alternative biography of John Punch, the first slave of Virginia, 11th generation, great great grandfather of US President Barak Obama and 10th generation, great grandfather of Nobel Prize Winner Ralph Bunche.
John Punch was the name I gave Joan's adopted son in my first book so this follows his story after leaving their family home for the excitement and adventure in the colonies of the New World.
Both books are available in paperback, hardcover at all good online bookstores
