Black Nancy, his first novel, adapted from his original screenplay of the same title, was written to be shared with today's youth to teach them about African-American history in a way in which they can be proud. "My purpose for writing in this genre (historical-fiction/adventure) histoventure, is to teach African-American youth about their history which began before their ancestors where brought here in chains. It's important for my readers to understand the point of view in which I write is not from a victim mentality but rather the progeny of royalty. Not everyone accepted slavery. May this book stir the inner warrior inside you. OWN YOUR JOURNEY OX Contributor Bio:  Nelson, Lennox Lennox Nelson
