Years ago, long before the girl power, Black Girl Magic and the Me-Too movements, I watched Angela Jolie in the movie Laura Croft Tomb Raider. I was in love with movies again. I thought. Wow! Finally, an attractive woman in a lead role where she carries everything. She played the role of an adventurer, normally inhabited by a man. Think Harrison Ford in the Indiana Jones series or Nicholas Cage in the National Treasure series, both men played adventurer roles. Their movies were quite popular with moviegoers.
While watching Tomb Raider, years later, I thought to myself. How come there aren’t more action movies like this with women or minorities in main roles? Why aren’t they the stars of show? Is it because nobody would pay to see movies like this? Then I thought. I’d go see it. I bet I could find plenty of other folks would too.
I decided I’d write a series of books about a Black lesbian with code name Dutch Chocolate. She has a background in NYPD as a sergeant in East Harlem, before joining the army and going to the Middle East to work in Intel. She returns to work in one of NYPD’s specialized street crime units. Dutch eventually decides to become a PI working for her people in Harlem. Over the years, she attracts a group of law enforcement misfits who have become her loyal crew and family. Dutch Chocolate stories include them as well.
In this eleventh novel, Sergeant Sanchez Pettibone’s Aunt Phoebe Abernathy literally bumps into an immoveable object named Redmond Wallace late one night at the bar she owns. When Phoebe wades in to stop a fight that the wealthy redhead started with two healthier, fitter and younger women, thus begins her involvement. Phoebe normally allows her bouncers to prevent fights and toss the fighters out of the bar for the night. This time, something told her to get involved to stop the fight. Much to Phoebe’s dismay, she can’t seem to shake loose from her involvement with Redmond Wallace. She has no idea where her connection to the redhead is heading. Or how to stop it. Or if she should stop it? More to come. Read my novel and see where its headed.
I had so much fun writing the series. I hope you’ll enjoy reading the eleventh novel of the Dutch Chocolate Series, Dutch Chocolate11: One Abernathy Sister Discover’s Something. Is it love or hate? as much as I enjoyed writing it.
