IN HONOR OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH...

When Jo Ann Ferris reviewed On Thin Ice: Enhanced Multimedia Edition at About.com (http://figureskating.about.com/od/figureskatingbooks/fr/Review-Of-On-Thin-Ice.htm), she wrote:

It should be mentioned that one of the characters in On Thin Ice, African-American figure skating coach, Antonia Wright, is based on Mabel Fairbanks, the first African-American skater who paved the way for African Americans and other figure skaters from minority backgrounds to be part of the sport.

I fictionalized Mabel's story for On Thin Ice, and when it came time to release my first enhanced ebook, Skate Crime: Multimedia, I focused it completely on Mabel - the first African-American to be inducted into The Figure Skating Hall of Fame - using videos from The Ice Theatre of New York to tell her alter ego, Antonia Wright's, story in words and images.

In honor of Black History Month, Skate Crime: Multimedia is currently available for a short time at no cost to Amazon Prime members, and for only $.99 cents for everyone else. You do not need a Kindle device to experience it. A free Kindle app for your desktop, laptop, phone, or tablet will do.
