 Edna Blanchard

A medical psychological thriller that will surprise every reader and shock the conscience. The novel that will be completed next Spring is entitled simply Edna Blanchard. It’s about a patient of African American and Italian parentage. Said patient gets a routine medical test that results in catastrophic complications requiring a medically induced coma. Once awake, the horribly confused Edna insists she is a man. An empathetic psychologist tries to help Edna accept that she is female. To no avail. An unbelievable plot twist makes this thriller impossible to put down.

Lisha's Boldest Pronouncement
The most important concept Lisha has ever taught is love. Love for her family and for her faith. She cared deeply for the houseless. ​Caring for ​her relatives was her endless desire although financially she could not do so. She had been a storied author. A cat lover and an all around fantastic sisterhood existed. And now does not.

I'm seeking Actor's agents to contact me for the film adaptions of my debut  novel The Fifth Decree, and my second book, Edna Blanchard. I have chosen roles for Donnie Wahlberg as Detective Mike Stockton, Jennifer Lopez as a potential Stockton in a different queer adaption and Iyanla Vanzant to help me cast Edna Blanchard.

I'm writing the screenplays now. My soul connects with the artists first and then we meet.

Also entertaining literary agents.
