The Artist & Her Lover
This fast-paced travel romance is Part I of a trilogy series of books. It’s an upmarket romance involving a love triangle in the Sahara Desert. Autumn Simmons, an American naïve artist living on a Florida barrier island, travels to Jamaica, and there she lives in the Kanopy (Tree) House in the Blue Lagoon. While there, she meets two men who vie for her affection. One is Colin Acieta, born and raised in Italy, who embodies old-world Western art traditions ... Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Raphael. The other, DeAngelo DeCosta, a Rastafarian Djembe drummer, who lives surrounded by artists painting large, bright, open-air murals on buildings to uplift Kingston’s garrison’s poor. Will Autumn choose to remain in Jamaica, with the Rastafarian, DeAngelo, and embrace free, open-air, community mural art? Or, Will Autumm choose Acieta, and live surrounded by the Vatican, the Sistine Chapel, the Colosseum, Roman statues, and masterworks of art? The Author encourages readers to view the artwork of naïve artists, Tyrone Johnson and Synthia Saint James, and the Florida Highwaymen, and to listen to instrumentals by Chris Botti, like Emmanuel, Nessun Dorma, and Cinema Paradiso.

The Jamaica Reader
From Miss Lou to Bob Marley and Usain Bolt to Kamala Harris, Jamaica has had an outsized reach in global mainstream culture. Yet many of its most important historical, cultural, and political events and aspects are largely unknown beyond the island. The Jamaica Reader presents a panoramic history of the country, from its precontact indigenous origins to the present. Combining more than one hundred classic and lesser-known texts that include journalism, lyrics, memoir, and poetry, the Reader showcases myriad voices from over the centuries: the earliest published black writer in the English-speaking world; contemporary dancehall artists; Marcus Garvey; and anonymous migrant workers. It illumin...
