1919-Misfortune’s End Creates and Develops Authentic Characters Who are Placed into Historical Events to Reveal Lessons that Mirror Today.

New York Aug. (PRWEB) August 19, 2008 — ZAPmedia, a boutique publisher of historical fiction novels, today announced that their first historical fiction novel, 1919-Misfortune’s End shows with amazing detail and accuracy the unfolding 89 years ago of the “red summer” riots which planted the seeds for the civil rights movement and changed the African American experience in this country.

Through each captivating and riveting page, readers of all ages are able to discover many defining historical events such as the Red Summer race riots that are not covered in conventional history books or novels. These race riots, which contributed to so many innocent people’s deaths, were according to historical records comprised of 26 individual incidents during the summer of 1919.

The historical fiction novel, written by accomplished businesswoman and multiple award-winning author Paula Phelan, not only takes a unique view of the Red Summer riots, but also is able to fully immerse the readers in the story by creating intriguingly genuine characters in real situations. The novel shows the unfolding of the riots in a way that can only be accomplished through years of research and a true understanding of people of the time.

“What I found typical of historical fiction novels, was that authors put characters into events that everybody had already heard about,” said Paula Phelan, author. “I wanted to expose the significant events in history that are rarely discussed.”

1919-Misfortune’s End has been widely acclaimed for its unique account of U.S. history. Amazon reviewer Timon De La Playa describes the novel as “A tour de force of research, synthesis, contrast and plainly delightful characterizations…Phelan not only carries the reader to the heart of the American experience of the era, but draws from so many insights on so many levels that she leaves the reader overwhelmingly satisfied with revelation.”

1919 - Misfortune’s End is currently available at local bookstores, through its publisher, ZAPmedia and on Amazon.com.
