A Liberating Love

A Mango colored circle in the upper lefthand corner with lettering "New York Times Bestselling Author of Black Cake" In the center below a broken jar with a crack in the shape of facial silhouette. Written on the jar: "Good Dirt. A novel. Charmaine Wilkerson." To the left green watercolors on the background, pink flowers, brown leaves. Towards the right of the book cover another mango-colored vertical bar with water colored green, sky-blue white flowers, s-curves, and fruits.

Good Dirt like love itself, is a resource of the earth. Good Dirt reminds us that something enduring, sustaining, and life-giving can be made from what appears, at first glance, to be nothing.

Living in Stephen King’s Nightmares.

A surreal and eerie digital collage featuring five Stephen King novels prominently aligned in a vertical row: "Skeleton Crew," "IT," "The Dark Half," "Four Past Midnight," and part of a sixth partially obscured book. All book spines are shown in vivid detail, with aged textures and wear visible on the covers. Behind the books, semi-transparent and ghostlike, stands a sinister figure in a dimly lit, ornate library room with paneled walls and a bookshelf. The figure is male, pale-faced, wearing a long dark coat and staring blankly forward, adding a haunting presence. The background is overlaid with smoky, gritty textures and orange fiery light leaks, giving the image an ominous, horror-themed atmosphere.

Exploring parallels between America’s current societal issues and themes in Stephen King’s horror, emphasizing the need for awareness and action against pervasive systemic evils.
