Robin Morris ONE SCARY MOTHER. As the Conover family drives from L.A. to Chicago, increasingly strange things begin to happen. Nine year old Michael sees a face form in the glass of the car’s window. Fourteen year old Alison sees two creepy children outside the family’s motel room. Mama has found the Conovers and is using them as a lesson for her children. There is nothing like the memory of family road trips no matter what your destination holds. On the journey the mind is freed from daily life and children’s imaginations go wild, except this time it isn’t their imagination and the parents are seeing it too. The Conover family seems like any typical family in the economy that we are all facing today. They are up for a move to their Grandmother’s house for a fresh and hopefully more luck filled start. The eldest daughter wishes for teenage freedom as she is ripped away from her friends, her little brother is a bother to her and fun to pick on. Just your normal balanced family. Then the weird things start to happen. Is it just their imagination? A dream? How can a dream touch you and give you deep chills within your body?

Marva Washington Black history has been shaped by such names as Rosa Parks, Sojourner Truth and Zora Neale Hurston but the real social changes of the 1960s would not have been possible without the support of the college students and grassroots activists taking up the charge. My new book, Bid Whist at Midnight delivers the coming-of-age story of four young women caught up in the enormity of the Civil Rights Movement. Bid Whist at Midnight is a romance novel grounded in the 1960s social change. In the turbulent 1960s, Sardis, Grace, Dorcus and Taletha became fast friends attending college at South Carolina State. But the solace they feel in their supportive and fun-loving group is rocked when a tragedy strikes and the life of one of the young women is cut short. The novel takes readers on a trip through time, back to the Civil Rights Movement of the 60s and forward in time 20 years when Sardis, Grace and Dorcus reunite and revisit one of the worse nights of their lives-the night of the Orangeburg Massacre. What they find is that they are still haunted by guilt, but their reunion reminds them of the power of their friendship, allowing them to come to a place of forgiveness, love and a long-awaited farewell to a friend.
Ms. Washington is a native of Charleston, South Carolina which is featured prominently in my novel, Bid Whist at Midnight. Since the 1970's however; she has resided in the Los Angeles area. As a student at Los Angeles Southwest College, she won a writing contest with the short story "Miss Jessie's Tale." Her other writing experiences include four years as a staff writer for the Los Angeles Herald-Dispatch and Watts Star Review Newspapers. Her latest work was in the January/February 2010 edition of Good Old Days Magazine titled "Secrets." She is also a Viet Nam Era Army Veteran and a child of the untamed 1960's generation. Besides writing, I love reading the classics, traveling and making music with Glendale Community and Crown City Orchestras. The book is available at the following: Amazon.com; Barnes and Noble.com;and iuniverse.com. The author is on facebook and has further information at http://bidwhistatmidnight.com/ |
Bid
Whist at Midnight is a strong romance novel in its own right,
but it gains its legs in its social commentary looking back at
the 60s and the cultural concerns facing black people at the
time. It is a historical and sociological study of a volatile
period in American history that provides a view and a voice not
previously written.The Greater Los Angeles Writers Society is a 501 (c) non-profit that provides a forum for writers of all disciplines to meet and discuss their craft and the business of writing.
