W.D. Foster-Graham<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

W.D. Foster-Graham<\/em> is a native son of Minneapolis, Minnesota. He received a B.A. in psychology from Luther College, with a minor in Black studies. He is an original member of the 3-time Grammy Award-winning ensemble, Sounds of Blackness.

He is the book review editor for Insight News, a Black community newspaper in the Twin Cities.<\/p>\n

His passion for writing was inspired by his father, who read voraciously. His tastes in writing run to historical fiction, family sagas, and romance, seasoned with his own brand of African American flavor\u2014at the end of the day, it\u2019s all about the love. He shamelessly admits to a love of romance novels, whodunits, and classic movies of old Hollywood. He also received inspiration from the late novelists E. Lynn Harris and Toni Morrison. In Toni\u2019s words, \u201cIf there is a story you wish to read, and it hasn\u2019t been written yet, then you must be the one to write it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Retired from the field of teaching, he loves travel on the open road and time with his husband and son when not in writer\u2019s mode.<\/p>\n

This is the seventh novel in his Christopher Family Novel<\/em> series.<\/p>\n
