Greetings everyone and wishes for a peaceful and fulfilling 2019!

Come celebrate Black History Month with us at the Museum Central School, Kalispell, Montana on Sunday February 10th, 2:00 pm.

I will be giving a slide show presentation about the life of Mary Fields, sharing new information and research discoveries.

This amazing pioneer gifted so much to her community in the face of adversity and during her struggle to survive. A truly inspired woman.

Join Us!

Thrilled to announce that Deliverance Mary Fields is on O, The Oprah Magazine "Ten Titles to Pick Up Now" list and the "17 Books to Pick Up This Winter" list!

Just in time for Black History Month too -
Many thanks to Oprah and her staff for the "shout outs" online newsletter and the February issue of O, The Oprah Magazine!

Lots of U.S. political history in the narrative that sounds a little too much like today's news. Mary Fields' life story is an inspiration for us all.

Thrilled that the February issue of O, The Oprah Magazine put Deliverance Mary Fields on the "Ten Titles to Pick Up Now" list!

Thank you, Oprah, and the great editors at O, The Oprah Magazine!

The book and eBook can be found at all the usual places, including http://www.huzzahpublishing.com

The environment in which Mary Fields fights for her rights, early 21st century Montana, is all-to-similar to present day events. Racism is on the rise, women ache for equal rights, politics have gone wild -

Hi Wonderful Readers,

Just an update to let you know that Deliverance Mary Fields is listed in databases used by probably every bookstore in the U.S. now.

It's also in physical form in a growing number of retail locations, including Barnes and Noble.

So your choice of where to purchase expands! I don't know if this is more convenient for any of you, but always good to know your options, right?

Have a great Memorial Weekend.
