FAQ #2: What is Your First Manuscript About?

I recently completed a debut children’s historical fiction, picture-story book entitled Uncle Manuel and the Story of New York. It’s an exciting story about the true accounts of Groot Manuel and the colonial slaves of New York City. Written in a story-telling voice, Grandma Jenny passes along the family history of Uncle Manuel to her grandson Christopher who had an incredible journey from slavery to becoming one of the first free black land owners, ultimately living in New York’s “Land of the Blacks,” today’s Washington Square Park. It's written for children between the ages of 8-10 years old and will  fascinate young audiences as well as adults.
