    They hail from Chicago, so go Chi-town! Next up is a formidable team from South Korea. All the teams should be proud of their sportsmanship, parental and fan support, and love for the game which was on full display.

    I think this pic shows what else I’ve been up to:

    RIOT – A black officer is caught between the community she serves and the thin blue line she must uphold.

     

    This will be a continuing serial on my blog, but it won’t be set in Ferguson. It’ll be in a fictional town where everyone believes race is no problem, until it is.

    Radio Silence

    It’s vacation time, but I’ll be busy working on releasing novellas and complete ebooks, with assistance from my daughter.

    The photo below was part of the inspiration for two contemporary novels on women in the military, specifically women of color.

    One book deals with a woman leaving the armed forces after several years,

    while the other focuses on a group of women aboard a naval vessel.
