How the Present Moment Created a #RenaissanceResurgence

By Robyn Williams

Why the #RenaissanceMoment for my books amid COVID-19? During this pandemic when many of us are working from home and sheltering in place, we all have serious issues that consume us. But in those moments when we are not working or caring for loved ones, reading continues to be a great way to channel energy. Already a favorite pastime, many now have more time to discover new works that inspire, educate, entertain, and enlighten. For some, reading provides a temporarily escape from chaos. My novels, Preconceived Notions, A Twist of Fate and A Fool’s Paradise, introduce readers to worlds of pleasure and suspense. Each book has its own story-line and can be read in any order. I am openly inviting readers to experience my works for themselves.

Another driver behind creating a #RenaissanceResurgence for my books, is the desire to fulfill a long-held dream to see my books become movies. It has been a 30-year dream in the making. Despite these adverse times, all the ingredients are present: Circumstances, perseverance, desire and focused effort. That my books have garnered acclaim from actresses Angela Bassett and Vanessa Williams is an added bonus. It is meaningful that after all these years, Preconceived Notions, A Twist of Fate and A Fool’s Paradise remain popular works that reflect the African American diaspora, melding suspense, romance and even the supernatural. As the author, I invite you to examine the reviews of the books for yourself.

Each one of us has a dream and each of us can thrive in the midst of adversity. I am advancing my dream while challenging others to blow the dust off their long-held passion projects. It is my hope that many will join me on this journey.

Lastly, I am donating a portion of my ebook sales to benefit those on the frontlines of this COVID-19 pandemic.
