Malcolm and Me: A Novel

-Relatable journey: Roberta’s journey from organized religion to a spiritual relationship with God will resonate with Generation Z Christian teens who find church involvement unimportant since they find God elsewhere.

-Timely and topical: The themes in this book include glaring hypocrisy in the church and Oval Office, racial injustice, dismantling American mythology, and family dysfunction, all of which are timely in today’s politically polarized and racially divided society.

-Author has excellent connections: Author is the former Conference Chair of the James Rivers Writers Conference (2017 to 2019) and has strong ties in the writing community from residencies at Rowland Writers Retreat (2020), the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts (VCCA 2018) and the Djerassi Resident Artists Program (2016 and 2015).
