Hi All
Just posted the last installment of Chapter One of God of the Cocoa.
Let me know what you think.
In order to get this book published, I would like to know if you would be interested in reading more.
I would love to hear what you think.
Did you find it - Informative? Intriguing? Or not. Needing more historical elements? Or less historical?
If you found it lacking in dialogue, it is because the back story needed to be told at this point. But the rest of the novel contains a great deal more dialogue.

- The Wedding Drums - my novel set in an early 20C village in Trinidad is almost here. Two young girls, Amina and Sumati plot to escape their arranged marriages and plan to live life following their own dreams. But Sumati falls in love and runs away, putting Amina's plans in jeopardy. Neither of them bank on what is in store for them. Soon they face the adult world of scheming men, corruption, prostitution and violence, and life in the village will never be the same again.
