Linda Peters writes: “I’m a Chicago-based writer, where I also work for a nonprofit serving low-income residents on the Northwest Side. My first book, The George Floyd Chronicles: And Other Selected Writings, released on Amazon in paperback on May 16. Hardcover was released later in the week. These provocative writings deal with social injustice, race relations, politics, and deeply personal stories in both poetry and prose. The bulk of the collection is a series of poems written in 2020 in the aftermath of the brutal murder of George Floyd on May 25th that sparked national and international protests. It is a fitting gift as this year marks the fifth anniversary of that tragic and momentous event. I had my first book signing at a local cafe in Chicago on June 1, and on June 12 I was interviewed on a local podcast called “Move Ahead.” I’ve also published a Spanish translation of my book on Kindle, also available on Amazon. And I’m preparing to do a voice-recorded version for Audible Books on Amazon.”
