Let's make one thing clear ladies and gentlemen. It seems that quite a bit of you are under the assumption that my "The story of Madame C" is some sort of biographical tale, or something that I've borrowed from elsewhere.
Let me reassure you that this is indeed a fictional tale that was created in the deepest catacombs of my mind. As a matter a fact, I pretty much make up each chapter as I post it to my blog. Nothing about this story is premeditated except for a few facts that I've researched so that my historical accounts are somewhat accurate. I am indeed a History buff with a keen eye an interest in anything associated with the African American experience.
The only thing that is factual about this story is Madame Claudette's last name which is Becquette, which is also my family's ancestry name. The other tidbit of factual information is the one about the pressing comb inventor Madame CJ walker being the first black woman to purchase a vehicle. All other aspects of this story are made up.
To tell you the truth I'm really not sure how I'm going to begin or end this next chapter.
I guess I'll play it by ear.
I hope your enjoying my story so far. I'm going to make it as exciting and shocking as I possibly can! Nothing that's taboo will be spared. It's going to be as raunchy and violent as I can imagine.
Hold on to your underwear because it's going to be a bumpy ride!
