Walker Smith writes in a unique blend of multicultural history, drama, and suspense, delivering the most unknown details of our history through the eyes of unforgettable characters. Her novels include: “The Color Line,” a Harlem Renaissance/World War I epic; “Letters from Rome,” a Sankofa journey from ancient Africa to Vietnam; and “Bluestone Rondo,” a racial Cain and Abel story set to a score of modern jazz. Smith also collaborated with music industry giant Jack the Rapper Gibson on his biography “Mello Yello.” Her new prequel to "Bluestone Rondo" titled "The Weight of a Pearl" is set to be released in May 2018. Journalists have referred to her unique writing style as “The Walker Smith Experience.” But what exactly is the Walker Smith Experience? With an ear for dialects and a talent for revealing the inner workings of characters’ minds and emotions, Smith sometimes reveals the duplicity of her characters in brief glimpses, and other times in telling, graphic scenes. The sinners are capable of heroism, and the saints dabble in deception. They are at once guilty and innocent—unique individuals that defy racial, religious, and social stereotypes. Says Smith: “My novels celebrate the lives of so-called ‘ordinary folks’—working class people with bills and problems, who turn out to be much more extraordinary than they know.” As you immerse yourself into the joys and sorrows of the complex lives of Smith’s characters, you begin to notice the surroundings in their world—a rich and accurate tapestry of current events and their impact. Through their eyes, you find yourself walking the pages of history, in real time. You are there. A signature style of writing that breathes life into historical figures of black history, giving them faces, voices, flesh, blood, and bone. Stunning plot twists. Unforgettable characters. Unexpected endings. A high-torque ride in a time machine. THAT is the Walker Smith Experience.
