About Me |
|
| I am the author of three jazz novels: Forbidden Circles, The Jazz Flower, and Whatever It Takes. For more information about me and my books, please visit: www.veegarcia.com. In the meantime, you're invited to read a brief synopsis of each of my books below.
************************************************************
**
Set in 1925, FORBIDDEN CIRCLES concerns Nora Johnson, a Howard University instructor who studies visual art in Paris for a year. While in Paris, Nora becomes fast friends with Douglas Stills, a trusty hotel doorman; Dianne Essex, a deceitful Afro-English student; and Vernon Cooper, a lying trumpet player. Will Nora's friendly enemies destroy her? A story of passion and loss, loyalty and betrayal, ruthless abuse and redeeming love, FORBIDDEN CIRCLES captures a unique time and an enchanting city, and treats the reader to a riveting conclusion.

In THE JAZZ FLOWER, mocha-hued Rosa Johnson Stills blooms into a beautiful jazz singer in 1930s - '50s Washington, DC, in spite of her grandmother's color prejudice; her own illicit love affairs with New York racketeer Jackson Parker and DC lawyer Alan Covington; and a brutal murder. THE JAZZ FLOWER takes readers from DC to New York City and back. This captivating story moves at a nice pace to a conclusion in Paris, France.
************************************************************
**WHATEVER IT TAKES is a contemporary cozy suspense with a smooth jazz motif. In the story, former journalist Carleena Treadwell travels from North Carolina to a South Florida island to finish writing a novel against a deadline. On the island Carleena meets Omar Henderson, a vacationing doctor, and Gerald, her island landlady's suspicious handyman; and she spirals into unexpected romance and danger. Gerald would do anything to get rid of Carleena -- anything!
