Book 2 of Queen Series

With a global pandemic surging, civil unrest spreads across the nation. It is the height of the Black Lives Matter movement. Rani teaches an Honors American Literary Tradition course, opening with a provocative discussion on civil rights. Her students, stirred by questions of race and class, ignite a dialogue that culminates in a campus protest at Edington University—an outcome long envisioned by a legendary activist.

Meanwhile, Rani’s unconventional union to another woman begins to strain under the weight of her rising literary career. Jasmine, a fine arts major entering her junior year, starts to reevaluate her path as new opportunities surface. 

Micah’s unexpected return to the United States further complicates Rani’s life. He hopes to build a relationship with the child he fathered for the couple, but his reconnection with a childhood friend shifts the emotional terrain.

Nadia Simpson, now a successful art dealer based in the capital, has quietly cherished feelings for Micah despite his devotion to Rani. A tender romance begins to bloom between them, though not without a painful setback.

Logline: During a global pandemic and a wave of national unrest, a young professor returns home to build a bond with the child he fathered for a lesbian couple—only to find that love, loyalty, and identity are more complicated than he imagined.

Book 3 of Queen Series

Pastor Regina Sloan of Better Days Ministries endures internal conflict when an old flame makes an unexpected appearance at their son’s wedding. The future of her ministry hangs in the balance as she gradually comes to terms with her identity as a woman. Dr. Edna Brooks, the other half of Better Days, has been at the forefront of Sloan’s life for many years. She demands a "moral commitment" from Regina. The essence of their friendship is brought into question when they decide to undergo the ancient rite of adelphopoiia. A new billboard for Better Days places the founders under public scrutiny. Sloan has optioned to use a photo commemorating their “sister-making” ceremony. Many view the advertisement as a platform for the couple to come out. Sloan, however, insists that theirs is a “bond of faith and not nature”.  But there are bigger fish to fry at the Eno Women’s Clinic headed by Dr. Brooks. Nadia Simpson is desperate to have a child and turns to an African spiritualist to resolve her problem. Brooks is concerned, having ministered to the young woman unsuccessfully. Matters take a turn for the worse when Nadia falls gravely ill. Meanwhile, Antonia is adjusting to her new life with Reginald, the minister’s son.

Logline: As the future of the world-renowned Better Days Ministry teeters on the edge, its radiant young pastor must confront the truth about herself—risking everything she’s built for the chance to live authentically.
