Marooned
Coming May 2027
Marooned is a gripping page turner that exposes the ferocious and triumphant fight for freedom by the first freedom fighters in the New World, The Jamaican Maroons! In 1739, nearly 40 years before the U.S. achieved its own independence from England, the Jamaican Maroons, many tribes led by women, had already won their wars for independence in the Caribbean.
Free and fierce, Nedra Ubote, a young Maroon, was captured and sold as a slave. They tortured, lashed and sexually abused her, but she fearlessly refused to be their victim. Rebelling like the animal they thought she was, she escaped—then she returned. She did not capture them. With might and precision, she led the guerrilla war to destroy them—all of them!
Marooned, the antithesis of slavery!
Watch out for more.
