The novel The Eclipse Blues is a tale of reverse power and fortune
that comes about in the United States thirty years into the 21st
Century as a result of massive global warming that's referred to by
scientist as "the global warming mega-effect." As a result of the
"global warming mega-effect" many diseases such as tuberculosis,
the West Nile virus, and malaria are widely manifested. The most
extensive debilitating disease is metastasis skin cancer that grows
into a pandemic and greatly impacts and destroys the lives of
people with pale and fair complexions - mostly Caucasians - who, as
a result, become gravely ill and suffer a high mortality rate that
subsequently makes them the minority in the United States to people
of color who discriminate against them and prompt Caucasians to
fight for their civil rights and equal justice much like people of
color did during previous decades. Two influential personalities,
Lutheran Minister Jerry Hines and newspaper owner Dewey Washington,
come to the forefront in the story as protagonists who work
diligently to end discrimination, inequality, and injustice toward
pale-skinned citizens. These men put a lot on the line, including
their own well-being, and in the case of Washington, the life of
his daughter who is kidnapped by deranged David Butterfield, who is
the diabolic leader of the Pale-skinned People Warriors Party that
has declared vengeance and therewith violence against people of
color.
No one could have fathomed the impact that fourteen-year-old Emmett
Till's death would have on race relations, politics, and civil
rights after he was brutally murdered in the sweltering Mississippi
Delta. Young Emmett's death had a direct influence on award-winning
freelance journalist Jamal Peterson who travels to the Mississippi
Delta to cover the murder trial and gets more than he bargained.
The men who killed Emmett Till are acquitted, but they do not
escape a supernatural justice meted upon them by Emmett's ghost.
Negroes in the Delta view Emmett Till's ghost as a blessing when
his specter begins to strike fear in the hearts and minds of
evildoers. This novel is intended to commemorate the death of
Emmett Till.

A contemptuous court case and words of recrimination fly regarding
an association's style of ballroom dancing. The flap attracts
