Love in Time of Outrage is the brash new historical fiction. It is both a bittersweet love story and a magical real rendering of one woman's response to exploitation.
The author's "Episode From An Ancient Script" was produced at San Francisco's Western Addition Cultural Center in 1979. Poems, "St. Gorbachev and Other Missionary Positions," appeared in 1991. In 1980, Hatch heard an aunt describe a gun fight in the farming area she and Hatch's mother grew up in known as New Africa, Mississippi. That tale began a twenty year historical fiction project that became "The New Africa Chronicles". Mississippi Swamp and Africa, Love were published in 2000, 2002. Additional novels will be released soon
