. is an historical fictional novel
filled with the realities of life's struggles and hardships. It is a story of
faith, hope, and determination, during tumultuous times; of adventure,

racial dialogue of a time during our world’s history wished forgotten.

Across
the Horizons of the Seven Seas
From
1746 Liverpool, England through the beginnings of the Civil Rights Movement in
20th century America, this account follows the life of a youthful slave,
Bullahah, and his progeny. We begin during a time when the sale of fellow
humans was a normal and lucrative global activity. This controversial period of
history strikes hard at humanity's heart, soul, and conscience, and of what it
means to be a human being.
Join
the obscure maritime world of slaving sailors as they sail the seas, many in
the basest of jobs. Some are in search of fortune, while others simply desire
better lives across the ocean in the New World. Colorful pirates and
adventurous ship captains fill and romanticize our minds, while brutal
floggings, extreme disciplinary actions, harsh labor conditions and the
pit-and-gallows judgments, terrify our 21st century contemporary understanding.
A
Family’s Two Century Quest for Freedom - The Slave Trade Era and Beyond
"It
was a time when the golden days of global slave trading grew and flourished;
days that birthed the gluttonous greed of New World capitalistic society; days
that touted equality, but conveniently excluded those peoples defined as being
from a lower order, reclassifying them as the basest of commodities… property,
simple human chattels; days when ruling classes refused to recognize that there
is only one race of peoples upon this Earth… humankind." -Author
Crack
of the Whip: a novel that offers the literary connoisseur a plethora of
historic flavors with which to douse their knowledge-thirsty palate. It is a
story embracing immense hope, undying persistence, and incredible family
strengths that prevail throughout generations; a story that stretches beyond
continental boundaries and transcends the racial barriers that divide peoples,
nations, and cultures. Era related adult content and epic themes: slavery, punishment,
floggings, death, racism, etc., all surface in this brilliant account of life
during the era of the transatlantic slave trade and beyond.
