But it wasn’t until she began researching Woodland Park’s origins that she found out a well-kept secret about Woodland Park. That it had been a successful black resort during segregation. Her research led her to write two historical books about Woodland Park. Still standing is an old hotel that has been empty for years. It sparked her imagination to write a mystery about an Inn that has withstood time in what used to be a segregated community. Added to that was her love of cozy murder mysteries. She has read many but there were not any main characters who were African American women like herself solving the mysteries and drove her to fill that void.view less
