Madame Voodoo - A. W. Jackson

  • Summary

  • A. W. Jackson is the author of Madame Voodoo which introduces us to Nkechi, a young voodoo witch, is unsure what to expect. Alone in New York, and still coming to terms with the death of her mother, Nkechi worries that she will struggle to keep her magic hidden, and is afraid that her mortal classmates will reject her quirky personality.


    A. W. Jackson says as a child, he loved reading and he has many fond memories of wanting to get a new book each time he went food shopping with his dad. With persuasion, his dad would buy the book, and whether it be Francesca Simon or Roald Dahl, as soon as it was scanned through the register, A. W. Jackson would start reading it. In hindsight, it was probably annoying to both the cashier and his dad, as he probably should’ve helped to pack the bags.

     

    Sadly, his passion for reading fizzled out during high school. A mix of steady bullying and being forced to read certain books for curriculum really made reading feel like a chore. As he went to college and pursued becoming a chef, he started his first novel Madame Voodoo. As a member of the LGBT+ community, he's often felt overlooked and under-represented by characters who purely existed to either check a box or provide comedic relief at their own expense. Once he noticed there were many other minority groups in the same situation, he wanted to create captivating stories with these overlooked and exploited groups at the forefront.
