One of the main characters, Jacopo Celli, is Italian and a devout Catholic. He finds his life taking an unexpected turn when he meets and falls in love with a beautiful African-American girl, Juliette Boisseau, when they are both teenagers. Fate brings her to him again, but does he really love the woman she is, or does he still see the young girl she was all those years ago? Can their marriage survive the death of their newborn daughter? Jacopo’s faith is ultimately tested against the backdrop of Pope John Paul II’s visit to St. Louis, Missouri in January 1999. Register now to get my quarterly newsletter, and find out how Jacopo’s story unfolds.
Writing My First Novel
This Story Has Been Floating Around In My Head For At Least Two Decades.
It's Been a Wonderful Collaboration!
I have spent the past few months researching Catholicism, particularly Black Catholicism within the Catholic Church. In doing so, I began to envision the main characters in my novel, In 36 Hours. They became so clear to me that I was able to describe them in detail to Ada Ezenwa-Autrey, my favorite go-to graphic artist. She gave them life. You will see more of Ada’s artwork in the following months, beginning June 15, 2022. I will write a detailed character analysis for each main character in the book. Then, posting both my character analysis and Ada’s drawing of each character to the website. Let’s talk about them. Let’s see where they’re going as I tell their story.
