As a child my character Samaria Jacobs grew up like that. Her mother moved around a lot because of evictions and it had some pretty damaging effects. In An Inconvenient Friend deceitful diva, Samaria Jacobs, plots to get close to her lover’s wife in order to get inside information about his troubled marriage. What she doesn’t expect to find is the one thing she’s never had…a friend. Available at , , , and through your local bookseller.

Here’s a to the story.

Powerful testimony. Where should you be going? Where might Jesus send you if you said, “I’ll go.�

A while back I was asked by a group of pastor’s wives to go with them to strip clubs.

That sentence alone sounds strange. But hang with me.

At first I was a little hesitant. And not for reasons you might think.

I love people. Especially ones who are broken; it’s part of my calling. But, given what I’ve walked through, I know how fragile broken people can be.

And I know how insensitive the church can be.

And I was uneasy.

But, these weren’t just any pastors wives.

They had a vision.

One that longed to love on women that society had thrown aside.

It reminded me a lot of Jesus.

So, I jumped on it.

Their plan was to visit these clubs once a month to deliver a meal and gift baskets.ÌýI joined them the first night and I’ll be honest, I had NO IDEA what to expect.

So this was said� “The enslaved lived these lives of inhumane horror so that you can sit in your living room or bedroom each Wednesday at 10 p.m. and watch television. You can go get your bowl of popcorn or sit with your phone in your hand and live tweet to friends. You can post your outrage on Facebook. All in comfort. All because they took it all on. For you. For all of us.� � Piper Huguley

Ok. I’ve been quiet about itÌýlong enough. Now, here comes the question. Why aren’tÌýyou watching Underground? My sincere apologies to those of you who do not get WGNA to watch it—June and the DVDs will be here soon.Ìý However, for the rest of you, I hope that you use the comments to post your answer. Call it market research on my part as a historical fiction author who writes about African American characters. I’m also asking because I really want to know.

Underground is not a “slave movieâ€�. ÌýI’m a little weary of people saying that they are tired of seeing “slave moviesâ€�. I do not count Django because Tarantino made it (don’t get me started on him). Twelve years a Slave is relatively recent but that was released years ago now.Ìý So unless you have the old Roots miniseries on a continuous loop (and I sympathize if you wishâ€�
