For myself and my own writing career, this new book represents a definite change in genre. I have written many stories about many different subjects but, I have never written a romantic novel. Some female authors argue that only women can write good stories about love but, I dont support that theory. I figure that such women are merely protecting their turf so that they can continue their own career with their publisher of choice. A man feels emotions just as women do. I love, I feel and I react. Even though female writers do seem to have an apparent monopoly on this subject, I am going to take a shot at leveling the playing field. This book is about the three best friends that I had while I was still a mountain man and living at Hazard, KY. Their names were John Blake, Mulva Edwards, Pearl Edwards and myself. This is their story. I grew up with them and I risked my life for them so, together, the four of us assumed the many problems of a mixed racial romance back in the 1940s when such a subject was considered to be Banned in Boston. I would have married Mulva early on but she chose my best friend Johnny Blake instead of me. Mulva made a good choice but, I, the author, will always be jealous. Of the better things that I have done, I, the author, have helped to set those two lovers free. I would tell you exactly where they are now living but, I cant afford to do that for the fear of endangering their lives. Some of the Mafia are still looking for both of them because of what we did to them in Paterson, NJ a few years ago.
