The Search is over; two publishers and an agent!!

February 8, 2022 / Gene Betit /

In my last post, I shared that I was getting “antsy” in my search for a publisher for Forbidden, Forgotten, Formidable: Blacks in America’s Wars. Lo and behold, less than two weeks later not one but two publishers expressed interest in the book. Not only that, but a fellow author shared the name of his agent and even contacted her about the study.

I’m delighted that my research will see the light of day, of course, but happier still that blacks’ loyalty and military prowess will finally be recognized.

No idea what the publication date might be — watch this space!
