Erich has completed accompanying screenplay for a TV mini-series, Trilogy, and Epic Feature, and has garnered support from some HOLLYWOOD’S acclaimed Industry Producers/Directors/and Actors.
Amazon 5 Stars- The author did a tremendous job in getting facts about her life. This no doubt needs to be made into a movie or a mini-series. This book also should be placed in the educational system so history can be told how many times were during slavery and post slavery.
Amazon 5 Stars – A story of a real, amazing woman who was the first Black woman to work for the U.S. Postal Service following the Civil War. The author takes us back to Mary’s childhood as a slave, and builds the story of how she overcame violent reactions to her color and size, and how many came to love and respect her. It is fascinating read.
