  Lisa Jones Gentry, the author of NAACP Image Awarded nominated A Dead Man Speaks, a paranormal murder mystery where Ms. Gentry weaves in themes of forgiveness and release through the supernatural as a metaphor for the human condition. She is completing the next book in the Clive January murder mystery series, Dead Men Never Lie, where some of the same themes of love, redemption and forgiveness are intertwined. Ms. Gentry’s current book, Forbidden Love, a true story of star-crossed lovers, is being made into a film based on her screenplay.
