No matter what my original intent is, I always write stories with strong women characters. When writing Twice Loved at Armageddon in 2008, it took me over a week to admit to myself that it was a romance novel. You see, I'm a guy. I use my middle name Terry to confuse prospective agents--since some women of the same name spell theirs the same way. Why? Simply that of over 2,000 members of the Romance Writers of America, only eight males have published recently using their own names. (The Romance writer Leigh Hunt has come out of the male literary closet and puts his pic on the back of recent novels.) If an agent ever calls me to discuss my story, I hope she likes it enough to forgive me for not being a woman. My most stories, Songs for Tamar and A Girl Redeemed, are my attempts to write from a female point of view.

Real students, local Africans, missionaries, and Peace Corps inspired my characters. My thanks to Dr. William Jusu Boyce, who with other former students re-established the mission schools since the war, for recent photos of Bolahun village, mission, and schools. http://bowilliehawa.com/bolahunwestafrica/gallery3.html THE AWESOME CREATURE?

@joelleyammine Carey knows her even better than I do and is at a loss herself to know what happened. Thanks for the update on your reading. I appreciate it. The Men's Room Mesages is set in the Denny's Restaurant where I usually have breakfast. Forgive me if I mentioned this before. Nijayaya surprised me by making the book cover for the story. It's good to hear from you again.
