Black Nancy is a fast paced -histo-venture- (historical/fiction/adventure), set in coastal Georgia and Carolina during the blight of America in its infant stages. All of the antagonistic zeal is provided as Bishop the younger hunts Black Nancy and Ruby, leaving death and destruction in his wake. All the while, Black Nancy trains her daughter and sows the seeds of revolution. This adventure introduces you to characters like Abbey Copper, a good hearted, recluse, living for revenge, Bishop the younger, desperate to get Black Nancy and Ruby back, Daisy, the young, and brave, little girl that risks her life, and Bo Daddy, the knifeman and a host of other characters that will make you laugh out loud, bring you to tears, and will ignite the soul of the warrior within you. In pre-revolutionary Georgia a secret society of wealthy plantation owners, hold vicious gladiator-style pit battles, occasionally to the death, simultaneously fulfilling their wildest and seediest fantasies. The undisputed champion of the -pit- is the beautiful, but deadly former princess of the Ashanti Empire, BLACK NANCY. Yet to meet her equal in battle, male or female, Nancy dreams of returning to Ashantiland, but keeps her plans secret to protect her young daughter, Ruby, who is also a prisoner on the Bishop Plantation. WHO IS BLACK NANCY? A PRINCESS. A WARRIOR. A LOVER. A MOTHER. A PRISONER. A CHAMPION. A TEACHER. A FUGITIVE. A FOLK HEROINE. A REVOLUTIONARY. Black Nancy, his first novel, adapted from his original screenplay of the same title, was written to be shared with today's youth to teach them about African-American history in a way in which they can be proud. -My purpose for writing in this genre (historical-fiction/adventure) histoventure, is to teach African-American youth about their history which began before their ancestors where brought here in chains. It's important for my readers to understand the point of view in which I write is not from a victim mentality but rather the progeny of royalty. Not everyone accepted slavery. May this book stir the inner warrior inside you. OWN YOUR JOURNEY(TM) OX
