Description:2012 Novel Winner - Critique My Novel & Amazon Bestseller Top 40 African-American Literature and Fiction. Mary Cole may be a former slave, dark-skinned and built more like a man than a woman, but she refuses to let the whites of small-town Folsom, Mississippi, who seek vengeance for their loss in the Civil War, treat her less than any other person. Having suffered through multiple miscarriages and stillborn infants, and now pregnant again, the last thing she needs is anyone, white or Negroe, to question her worth as a woman. But Enda Sully, a mixed-race woman who the Negroes seek out in times of need, has foreseen a great evil coming to Folsom. That evil, born from the seeds of the Ku Klux Klan, feeds on racism, sexism and homophobia, and won’t stop until its belly is sated. No one is safe now . . . not even the child Mary is determined to bring into the world.The growing evil haunting Folsom, Mississippi won’t stop there. Paul, a white teenage boy whom Mary has raised since birth and is coming to terms with being gay amidst constant bullying, is ripe to be plucked and devoured by the malevolence creeping through the town.

Mary has but only two choices now. She can bow her head and submit and lose those she loves, or she can summon unparalleled confidence and self esteem to save their lives. As the inferno of hate feeds on the animosity between black men and white women, straights and gays, and the ongoing subjugation of women, only Enda Sully—be she a crazy woman or a witch—knows how it will end.Dissecting events in our present day by peeking into the window of the past, Folsom on Fire delves into the psyche of Racism, Coming out as Gay, Gender Roles, Self-Hate and Self-Love.
