"Through their actions, the lives of all the main characters become intertwined. Each character is unique in terms of who and what they stand for. Some are Black others White. Some are Jews others Christians. Avast chasm exists the characters, in terms of their social standing. One's background influences how the character will behave and what his or her fate will be. The characters in Dinah Blu, while works of the author's imagination strive to be true to life. In creating the characters, I have gone beyond mere ""stereo-typing"" inorder for the characters to appear quiet real on the page. The plot is built upon the experiences of the characters and it is the actions of the characters which define the work. And there is a specific time frame when all these actions occur. In keeping with my intent to deal with the themes which define a well written novel, the characters experience many things over the course of time. To describe each and every action which takes place in the novel would be too difficult. However, in keeping with the novel's intent, race, religion, war, justice, love, hate, wealth, poverty, suffering, joy, pain, happiness, hope, and despair are all explored through the various characters."

The 1950s phenomenon of Roller Derby is back in full force, and it's definitely not your grandma's game anymore. With leagues in more than one hundred cities across the country, a national tournament, and major sponsors, the new wave of the sport has gone mainstream. No one is better qualified to tell the story of Flat Track Derby's astronomic rise than Melissa "Melicious" Joulwan. As a founding member of the Texas Rollergirls -- the league that launched the sport and the reigning national champions -- she has helped redefine what it means to be stylish, sporty, and sexy. With her mouthy, tough-as-nails style, Melicious recounts her best tales from the track: her fierce rivalries with The Wrench and Ivanna S. Pankin, the scene at the annual national tournament, the thrill of a bout, and the infractions that so often bring her to the penalty box. From the minute she first laced up her skates and wrapped herself in her alter ego, Roller Derby has given her a confidence boost, and she shares the positive impact the sport has also had on girls -- young and not-so-young -- who tack posters of her on their bedroom walls and lace up their own skates. Complete with photos and suggestions on how to develop a Rollergirl name and persona, this unprecedented tell-all comes from the woman who's watched the sport evolve from an underground Friday-night event to a bona fide national phenomenon.
