I didn’t expect to meet a grieving ghost or her dead mother. 

But then, I didn’t expect to find out my town had been the site of a lynching, a lynching that had left my friend Sarah motherless and had made her a victim of murder as well. 

Their deaths aren’t ancient history, though, not when one man who was a witness still holds sway in our small town. My friends and I have truth on our side, but will that be enough to keep us safe? 

If only telling the truth didn’t come so hard to so many.

Cast of Charlotte And The Twelve: The Film

I always enjoy imagining the cast for the books I write, but this book is tricky because 12 of the cast members would need to be young children. And since I don’t yet know who our youngest superstars will be, I’ll just say this – these kids need to be smart, cute, and sassy enough to upstage the adults. I’m thinking Rudy from The Cosby Show but with the panache of the Jaden Smith and the wiles of Lonnie Chavis. The rest of the cast is easier to choose:

• Mary Steele – Sophia Lillis – fierce, a little odd, and already practiced at performing supernatural abilities.
• Charlotte Braxton – Lovie Simone Oppong – strong, poised, charismatic without being flamboyant.
• Shamila – Dawnn Lewis – a wise, mature woman who is confident and informed and who can lead without aggression.
• Ms. Steele – Laura Linney – smart, savvy, but not needing to be the center of the action
• Marcie – Marsai Martin – soft-spoken and loyal, dependable, resourceful
• Javier – Marcel Ruiz – sweet, gentle, fierce but soft, and very wise for his age
• Nicole – Sienna Agudong – unassuming and very All-American but not in a banal way.
• Mr. Meade – Matt Frewer – quirky, super smart, very kind, a little reserved
• Isaiah – Omar Epps – put-together, savvy, kind but no-nonsense, incredibly devoted.
• Stephen Douglas – Jeremy Renner – able to be the hero but doesn’t need to have that role.

All in all, my goal would be to have this cast work as a true ensemble since those are my favorite kinds of films. Everyone’s strengths would come out, and they would balance out each other’s weaknesses. Additionally, since we are working with two different time periods for the cast, we’d need actors who could manage the historical work to play Charlotte and her students but also the savvy to begin to pick up on modern conventions as the interactions with the 21st century continued. Finally, my hope is that the film would be both humorous and honest and, of course, have great costumes. Plus, I definitely retain rights to be on set at all times because these actors need to become my besties, of course. ;)

It’s not every day a ghost curls up in your lap … 

But when little Henrietta decides I’m trustworthy and introduces me to her teacher, Charlotte, I find myself wrapped up in the story of their murders. 

Before long, my friends and I are saving a building, solving a murder, and telling the stories that a lot of people in our small town would rather be left untold. Our best hope for ourselves and for Henrietta and Charlotte is that the truth really will set us free.

Top Ten Literary Inspirations for Steele Secrets

1. Nnedi Okorafor. Her book Who Fears Death is my favorite novel of all time. It’s speculative fiction that weaves together folklore and science and history.
2. Alix E. Harrow. Her books The Ten Thousand Doors of January and The Once and Future Witches showed me how a writer can weave together magic and travel and activism together.
3. Toni Morrison. While Paradise is my favorite of Morrison’s books, it was Beloved that really informed this series with the way she used spirits to tell the truth and reveal what was hidden.
4. Chaim Potok. I have read everything Potok ever wrote because his books speak so highly of the way that communities build us up and tear us down, which is a theme in these books as well.
5. Margaret Atwood. Atwood’s ability to project a future that is both believable and terrifying is something that I seek to emulate in my work, even if that work is looking backwards instead of forwards.
6. C. S. Lewis. The Chronicles Of Narnia remain my favorite series because they spin together magic and belief into a new world that lets me believe more about my own.
7. Edward Ball. Ball is a journalist whose book Slaves in the Family introduced me to a way of researching and writing about the lives of oppressed people without separating those people from my own lived experience.
8. Rebecca Solnit. Solnit’s book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks modeled a format and honesty for how the writer becomes part of the story, even as she tells it.
9. Jesmyn Ward. Ward’s books hit had in their telling, be they fiction or memoir, and they create an atmosphere that surrounds the reader, that draws us all the way in.
10. Rebecca Roanhorse. Roanhorse’s books rise up from the soil of culture in a way that is not often transparent in speculative fiction, and I wanted the same transparency in my books.

Ghosts just don’t show up for anybody. 

So when I meet the spirit of a former slave named Moses, I know he needs my help.But I didn’t expect to be taking on half of my town, or the powerful men who seem to run everything and have done so for years. 

Secrets are being uncovered, and some people would do anything to keep them buried, no matter who gets hurt. I’ll need the help of history and friends I can trust if I want to save Moses’ graveyard and protect his legacy. 

If only everyone believed it was one worth protecting…
