About

Roschelle McKenzie began her writing career at the age of nine with a piece of chalk and a chalkboard in Portmore St. Catherine, Jamaica. Scribbling dusty stories for her younger brother, she came to love the art of storytelling.  Little did she know, her powdery pasttime would lead to an explosive work of art that would powerfully impact the lives of many.  

In 2001 after a traumatic relationship and the birth of her son, Roschelle found consolation in her writing. It was during this time that she began to pursue novel writing.  By the autumn of 2003, she began writing Night Before Dawn, which was published in 2008.  Gainfully employed as Property Manager of a high-end residential building in Westchester, New York, Roschelle walked away from a stable income to daringly pursue her dreams.  Since her career transition in 2010, thousands of copies have been sold and the book is progressively making headway to the best seller's list.  Night Before Dawn is touching many lives across the globe, creating waves and captivating hearts in the United States, Caribbean, Europe and Africa!

Description

<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</span><br /><span class="a-text-bold" style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:700;">B.R.A.G.
