I was born and raised in Salem Indiana; I am certified adult peer support specialist to help recovering addicts and I have a bachelor’s degree in ministry from the International School of Ministry. I have two children named Nikia Morgan and Jacob Howard. I had been lost all my life and the devil had lied to me trying to steal my soul by being in addiction for thirty-two years. I was paralyzed in drugs and fear and God inspired me and brought me out of darkness to his light. What inspired me to write this book he set the fire in my soul by my faith through grace I was forgiven. Trusting in him coming outside the prison walls I continued being faithful to God to be called to his purpose and plan before the second coming to build up God’s kingdom.

Marcia Brown’s powerful retelling of the story of Paka’a and his son Ku-a-Paka’a conveys the beauty and pomp of ancient Hawaii and recreates a life and culture of days now past. In this legend a brave young boy endeavors to restore his exiled father to his position as royal guardian and personal attendant to the king. How the boy’s remarkable courage and ingenuity help his father regain his rightful place as “backbone of the king” is an eloquent, exciting narrative. Through the skillful meshing of authentic chants and taut prose, Marcia Brown gives the reader a memorable glimpse into a little-known folklore that can hold its own with the great legends of the world. Backbone of the King is inspired by “The Story of Paka’a and his son Ku-a-Paka’a,” a Hawaiian legend that came to Marcia Brown’s attention in the autumn of 1962, when she was visiting the islands. An inveterate traveler and storyteller, it was almost inevitable that she receive as a gift a collection of Hawaiian legends. When she returned to the islands the following year, she spent some twelve months painting and studying Hawaiiana. She also inquired into the background of the Paka’a story.

Shadow lives in the forest... It goes forth at night to prowl around the fires. It even likes to mingle with the dancers... Shadow... It waves with the grasses, curls up at the foot of trees... But in the African experience Shadow is much more. The village storytellers and shamans of an Africa that is passing into memory called forth for the poet Blaise Cendrars an eerie image, shifting between the beliefs of the present and the spirits of the past. Shadow... It does not cry out, it has no voice... It can cast a spell over you... It follows man everywhere, even to war... Marcia Brown''s stunning illustrations in collage, inspired by her travels in Africa, evoke the atmosphere and drama of a life now haunted, now enchanted by Shadow.
