How did your own experience lend authority to the writing.Ī: “One character is bi-racial but identifies as black. As an adult, you discovered you have a half-sister.

Q: The book is somewhat based on your own life in that your sister in-law was biracial and separated from her half-sister. The other is, and feels a need to connect and they work through that.” One character is not really open to knowing about her birth family or feeling close to her birth family. The issue of adoption and how many people are looking for birth parents - that plays across the board. Even though race plays a part, it is about their relationship. Q: Is “Children of the Water” such a book?Ī: “It’s a book that’s about two women who find out they are related. People who like to read about family relations and dynamics will read that book.” People need to pick up a book off a shelf and see that it’s a story about two women or two sisters (not two black women or two black sisters). I want book publishers and sellers to be in on that process. Other books include Witchbane, Burn, Dark Rivers, and Badlands.A: “Try to get people to talk about books - to get a dialogue going and keep it going is important.
