edit data

Palessa is the author of the Baxter Family Saga series as well as other stories.

Her very first published book (aka author's trial by fire) is the interracial romance Unchained Hearts (Baxter Family Saga Book 1) . This crazy soap opera in a book is two love stories in one that opens the door to the life, love, tragedy, and legacy of the Baxters, a powerful, influential South Florida family. The subsequent books delve deeper into the lives of the main members of the family going back all the way to post-World War II Washington, DC.

She’s also the author of Eyubea Girls, her first historical women’s fiction novel that chronicles the life of Lisbette Caldwell who experiences the darker side of marriage on a mission in the wilds of Africa.

Palessa’s Quotes

“Reading, writing, and personal introspection will not protect us from hardship and suffering, but they might introduce us to critical thinking and expose us to what is good in humankind and beautiful in the world that we share with all of nature. Contemplative thought, especially that supplemented with reading literature and attempting to write our own replies to the echoing voices of writers whom preceded us provide us with the potentiality for change, the possibility of personal illumination that enables us to experience a heighted quality of life.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“An illiterate person who dies, let us say at my age, has lived one life, whereas I have lived the lives of Napoleon, Caesar, d’Artagnan. So I always encourage young people to read books, because it’s an ideal way to develop a great memory and a ravenous multiple personality. And then at the end of your life you have lived countless lives, which is a fabulous privilege.”
― Umberto Eco
