Great event. Interesting to hear Karen Simpson talk about the history behind the novel and about the process of getting it published. A nice bonus was hearing Keisha Thomas talk about her experience at the '96 KKK rally in Ann Arbor (Simpson's inspiration for the novel) and what she's been doing with her life since then.
Fantastic writing, intriguing story! Enjoyed meeting Keisha Thomas last Friday, too. What a treat to see and hear protagonist and author
sitting side-by-side and discussing the "real life" moments of that fateful day in 1996. Two high quality artists and human beings.
Thank you BOTH! !
