A. Robert Allen has published five novels and two short-story prequels in his Slavery and Beyond series. All are stand-alone stories connected by theme. He writes historical fiction that transports readers to times and places immediately before or soon after the end of slavery. A. Robert is a long-time higher education professional and resides in New York. The first volume in the series, Failed Moments, is a fictional account of Allen’s ancestors in 1790 during the slave revolution in what would become Haiti and of, later in 1863, New York’s Draft Riots. The second volume, A Wave From Mama, immerses readers in racially charged post Civil War Brooklyn and gives an interesting look at the building of the Brooklyn Bridge. The third book in the series, Minetta Lane, takes place in 1904 in a downtown New York neighborhood that lives by an unusual race-based code. The prequel to this third volume, Minetta Mornings, takes place twenty-five years earlier. His fourth novel, Living in the Middle, involves the most violent and significant incident of racial violence in U.S. history, the Tulsa Race Riots of 1921. The prequel to this novel, which takes place in 1896, is entitled Ticket to Tulsa. Allen’s most recent release, Sundays, is another fictional account of Allen’s ancestors which transports readers to the island of Nevis in the early 1800s and Harlem in the 1930s. This novel also features the Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville in 2017. Find out more about the author and his works at his website: http://arobertallen.com
