WHY I WROTE: Dutch Chocolate4: Home is Where the heart is

September 19, 2021 by B.L. in Other

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.

Wonder Woman made to the movies and even Oprah was impressed enough to sponsor the ultimate “Wonder Woman themed party. While I liked the idea of a powerful, heroic female star, something was still missing. I didn’t see me when I watched WW. When Marvel brought Luke Cage to Netflix and it was so popular, I thought yay! Finally, a handsome Black man was starring in an adventure series that was popular enough to warrant a second-year renewal. Then came Black Panther which sealed the deal for me. Folks of all races went to see the movie and raved about it afterward. It drew international appeal and acclaim as third most watched and popular movie of all time.

Still I wondered. What about me and folks like me? Where’s my ‘shero’? I decided I’d write a series of books about a Black lesbian (code name Dutch Chocolate) with a background in NYPD as a sergeant in East Harlem, joining the army and going to the Middle East in Intel then returned to work in one of NYPD’s specialized street crime units. She eventually decides to become a PI working for her friends and neighbors.

In the fourth novel of the Dutch Chocolate Series, I wondered how Dutch would react to one of her own crew members in serious trouble with her former employer the NYPD. How would she respond to a late-night phone from Dora Day, her favorite surgical nurse
Why I wrote: Dutch Chocolate4 Home is where the heart is calling from Riker’s Island Correction’s hospital? Dora has been charged with murdering Mattie Mendez-Day, her wife of 16 years.

While Dutch has never seen Dora angry, she is the one member of the crew who refused to move upstate and live with the rest of the crew on their jointly owned farmland. Dutch and the crew haven’t seen Dora in months. Dora’s wife never wanted to live in the “boonies” of upstate New York. Since Dora is still in love with her wife, she wants whatever Mattie wants which is to live in the city. The case against Dora appears to be a solid one. Dutch is afraid Dora might have done what the police and her confession said she did. She wants to know what happened between Dora and Mattie. Yet she’s afraid to take the case and investigate a good friend.

I had so much fun writing the series. I hope you’ll enjoy reading the fourth novel of the Dutch Chocolate Series, Dutch Chocolate4: Home Is Where The Heart Is, as much as I enjoyed writing it.

About The Author: B.L.

After an unpleasant publishing experience, BL decided to take control of her own fate and that of her books. She became a self-published writer two weeks before All Hollow’s Eve of this year. She enjoys writing. She loves using her writing skills to release her inner bitch through the characters she creates. Her novels and short stories allowed her to examine who she is, in black, white and various shades of gray. She can work out her ‘stuff’ through her characters. She finds it very liberating to do so. She vows to keep writing until she can’t.
THE BIG C, IS THERE LOVE AFTER CANCER?
WE ALL BE DIFFERENT NOW!
