We have finalized a cover for “Malawi’s Sisters,” due for release from Four Way Books next spring, and I hope you love it as much as I do.
Many thanks to Four Way Books associate director, Ryan Murphy, who designed the cover. I greatly appreciate having the chance to offer input throughout the process.
“Malawi’s Sisters,” was selected by Edwidge Danticat as the winner of the inaugural Kimbilio National Fiction Prize. The story was inspired by the 2013 shooting death of Renisha McBride and tells the story of a black family thrown into the national dialogue on race when the youngest (adult) daughter is killed by a white man. The family must overcome overwhelming grief, resentments and personal demons to find love and family unity once again.
Next step is promoting the book. I’m open to ideas, so if you have some thoughts, please pass them along. I know for sure that I’ll be in Portland for a writers conference in March 2019, and plan to schedule reading events throughout the year.
Word of mouth is the biggest way to get the word out. I’ll be working hard to make this book a success, and I’d love to have your help. Can you share with your networks? I’ll be sharing on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Goodreads.
Thank you for supporting me along my writing journey.
