Seventh Queen, In Waiting: The Creole Woman, the treasure of some, the prey of others. (Gallery Coll

This novel covers the quiet traumas some women mend in silence. When society looks at them, they see beauty, intelligence, maybe even grace. What isn't shown on their faces are the wounds that love, life, and betrayal can leave. Lacerations that permeate the skin and coil around the heart and soul of the prey. The saying, "Show me a beautiful woman, and I'll show you a man who is tired of screwing her", has been repeated thousands of times by men and women across the globe in different languages, same concept and context. There are beasts of men. There are men who heal. The two must exist simultaneously. This story is of one young woman's solo journey to Europe. Accepted into an art exhibition, she has six months to successfully gain citizenship in another country. Determined, capable and hungry for the asylum she's seeking, she makes split-second life-changing decisions that lead her down a dangerous path.

The very thing she is running from in North America, is awaiting her with its mouth agape in the Eastern World.
