This is the second book in A Tree's Response trilogy. The first book, Frail Branch, is available for purchase on Kindle.
'You know, honey, us colored folks is branches without roots and that makes things come round in queer ways. You in particular. Ah was born back due in slavery so it wasn't for me to fulfill my dreams of whut a woman oughta be and to do . . . Ah wanted to preach a great sermon about colored women sittin' on high, but they wasn't no pulpit for me.'
(The former tittle was Mysterious Wisteria.)
2. Where did the idea come from for the book? I don't remember about this particular book. This series has been rattling around in my brain while I worked on my In the Shadow of the Cedar books. There is an Agatha Christie book that has a similar killer, but not the same setting, story line, or other characters. That may have been the germ of the idea.

In the case of the trilogy, A Tree's Response, of which this is part 2, I believe the story line came out of necessity. The thought process is something like--who will be murdered? If that person is the one murdered, why? Who would be the one most likely? It was (an overused word, but one that I think fits here) an organic process.
5. How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript? If things continue on track, a month, although I've been gathering information for several months now.
