In this the third installment in the Priscilla trilogy, it is time for Priscilla to become the woman she was meant to be. It is fall, 1987, one year after Priscilla's time in Africa. She has resumed her PR business in Columbus, Ohio, where she waits and waits for something of substance to come across her desk. Then, one day, she receives a handwritten note that reads: "Interested in spearheading the marketing campaign for the next president?" She does not even recognize the signature. So, she researches the presidential-hopeful. Priscilla learns that the candidate is a fifth-generation Barbadian American and that his great-great-grandfather had operated a sugar export business in Barbados and eventually came to America, married a former slave, and raised several children. Over time, he'd diversified his import-export business to include banking and printing, thus began his quest for his family's legacy-the American presidency! At this point, Priscilla also had resumed her secret affair with her one-time lover, Carlton Elliott Bernhardt. While the couple is away on a visit back to southern Africa-where Priscilla now serves as the CEO of the Bernhardt Foundation for Boarding Schools for Zimbabwean and South African Girls-the subject of the presidential election campaign comes up. However, Priscilla is unaware that Carlton¿a member of the special ops unit that rescued her during her first time in southern Africähas confided her decision to work on the Hollingsworth Campaign with his CIA colleagues at Langley. Although her work on the campaign is hardly anything to write home about, it is unrelenting and sometimes troublesome. Priscilla is an outsider again, so her mettle is put to the test from the beginning to the end. But at each interval, she shows forth her political acumen, which annoys the campaign manager. Mostly though, like many others who know Priscilla, "There's just something about her," said the campaign manager, but Priscilla hardly ever sees herself the way that others do. In the climax, an old personal secret comes to light, and Priscilla conducts the PR performance of her life.
Indie author M. J. Simms-Maddox, Ph.D., created 'The Priscilla Series,' a unique novel series chronicling the coming of age and adventures of a modern-day, fiercely independent, self-assured Black American young woman. Her genres are mysteries and terrorism thrillers.The South Carolina native grew up in the Snowbelt of western New York. Her academic credentials include a Doctor of Philosophy degree in political science from Ohio State University. She has served as a legislative aide in the Ohio Senate, operated a PR firm, and taught political science for many years. Given her background, most plots in the novel series deal with political issues.The author is self-taught; she did not study creative writing in college. She began writing fiction in the late 1990s behind a recurring dream about a disturbing conversation with her father. Since the dream troubled her, she told a friend about it. Her friend recommended that she write it down; she has been writing ever since. As she penned her first novel, she did not even know she had written one, an editor told her. Then, she thought she was finished after publishing her first book, Priscilla Engaging in the Game of Politics. However, the next thing she knew, she was writing a trilogy, which became a lengthier series. So, more is coming.After publishing four novels-one of which won 1st Place in the 2019 CIBAs for Mystery & Mayhem-and speaking at professional development sessions to empower women, colleagues encouraged her to share her advice about her writing and publishing experiences, hence A Handbook for Emerging and Seasoned Authors: An Insider's Step-by-Step Approach to Becoming a Successful Indie Book Author and Publisher. It won 1st Place in the 2022 CIBAs for Instruction & Insight How-To-Manuals.Simms-Maddox enjoys traveling and interacting with writers and book fans. She has participated in the Bokmässan, the Harlem Book Fair, book clubs, and other venues. Like Edgar Allan Poe, she mostly believes, "To be appreciated, you must be read."
