Is No Not Clear Enough for You?

Of Fame, Privacy and The Complexity of Human Relationships…

..People have complex relationships, such as the Blacks and the Browns have in “Mrs. Black?,” and they work out their dilemmas in their homes every single day without people knowing about it.

Of Drama, Definitions, and Leaving Our Mark on the World…

“People comment that there is so little drama in my books. …Even though drama sells, and it makes good press. Most people are not living dramatic lives. …People have complex relationships, such as the Blacks and the Browns have in “Mrs. Black?,” and they work out their dilemmas in their homes every single day without people knowing about it.”

Of Inner Muses, Boxes, and Preserving Who We Are…

“…For two years I tried fitting into a box and I almost lost myself. …”
“… I finally decided that I’m good enough. …Perhaps I’m weird. But I have never tried to sell my work [to a commercial publisher] I have never tried to get a [book] deal since I’ve been writing. I’ve had people to say, ‘If you do this, this and this, I can tell this one. I’ve thanked them, but I’m guided by my inner muse. If that is going to happen [commercial contract come my way] then it will happen. I’m on a different path. I can’t define it any better than that.”

Of Blogging, “Motherwit Four,” and Generosity…

Of the mother wit and wisdom in her writing Angelia Menchan says, “My mother was 30 years old before she decided to have children. I had these old women around me. My grandmother and then godmother lived to be 102. I was one of those old souls at a very young age. You know that story about the girl born with the veil over her face that would be me. And I just kind of tossed that over my shoulder. On August 9, 2010 I’m publishing an anthology of stories called, “Motherwit Four,” in honor of my mother.”

Author, Angelia Menchan, discusses “Ramblings,” “Schae’s Story,” “Is No Not Clear Enough for You?” and her recent novel, “Mrs. Black”.

She has also published an anthology, Women’s Writes, co-authored with Jennifer Coissiere, Darnetta Frazier, and Shaneika Ferguson.
