![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I have not been this in love with a story in a long time! I have read a lot of interracial historical romances, and this by far is one of the best. Upon completion of this story, the ideas for several others relating to it, began unraveling in my mind. As I explored these thoughts and feelings, "The Summer of Tsunami" was born and after almost two decades of thinking about the story, I finally sat down and wrote it. Upon deeper consideration, I found myself wondering how even more difficult it must have been for my parents and grandparents for that matter. ![]() This story came to me, when I experienced firsthand how difficult being a part of an interracial relationship could be. My children and I are the products or many generations of interracial coupling, as I too have married outside of my race. I started writing poetry and songs at thirteen, and by sixteen, the idea for The Summer of Tsunami came to me. In addition to the above, I am a thespian, a dancer, a singer, a craftswoman an artist and above all else, a storyteller. I have developed & written curriculums for multiple youth programs, ranging from snapping turtle research with National Geographic to building wooden boats and drums with inner city children. I have earned a Master's Degree in Health & Healing but have always found my voice in my written word. My name is Summer-Sage and I live in Old Lyme, CT with my husband and two children. ![]()
