My eighth novel Marooned in Nova Scotia - a Story of the Jamaican Maroons in Canada, took me three years to write. It's the longest time I've ever taken to write a novel. On average, it usually takes me about a year.
Marooned in Nova Scotia involved extensive research, as the setting is 1795. Information on the presence of the Maroons (runaway slaves) in Canada, is not as much as one would have wanted, nevertheless, I was able to get enough information to take a peek into the lives of this brave and fearless people. The result is an intriguing novel that is bound to keep you glued to the pages. Read it!
