S3 Ep14: S3E14 Author Angela Jackson-Brown: The Light Always Breaks

This week’s guest, Angela Jackson-Brown, is an award-winning novelist, poet, and playwright. She is also a professor at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana who completed her MFA at Spalding University in Louisville where she is also a member of the creative writing graduate faculty. Her most recent novel, When Stars Rain Down, was published in 2021 and is a historical fiction story set in 1930s Georgia, and has been nominated for several awards. Angela also has a new novel coming out in July called The Light Always Breaks set in post WW 2 Washington DC that features political and romantic intrigue between a high powered interacial couple. These are stand alone novels but what is cool is that these books’ characters are in the same fictional universe so readers get a chance to reconnect with characters they may have met before. Angela talks to us about how she uses fiction to write about experiences in her life she wished she’d had, why she started writing plays, and the first book she read as a child that made a big impression on her (and this will surprise you).

Host Cyrus Webb welcomes author Angela Jackson-Brown to #ConversationsLIVE to discuss her literary journey and new book THE LIGHT ALWAYS BREAKS.

Author Angela Jackson-Brown stops by #ConversationsLIVE

TW: TALK OF RACE, RACIAL INEQUITIES  Angela Jackson-Brown’s second novel, When Stars Rain Down, is the story of 18-year-old Opal Pruitt living in Parsons, Georgia in 1936. Opal knows that the world is more separated than it should be, and in 1936 skin color has more to do with it than anyone would like. Though slavery has long been abolished, African Americans are still doing laborious work for whites and the town of Parsons is as segregated as it comes. Opal has lived a quiet life, tucked away in “Colored Town” with her Granny Birdie. She hopes to live up to her grandmother’s expectations and that means working hard and keeping her head down. But, when the Ku Klux Klan unexpectedly descends on Opal’s neighborhood, the entire community is shaken. The entire town finds it hard to ignore the complicated racial inequities Parsons is home to, with Opal at the center of the story.

S2 Ep4: S2E4 - Author Angela Jackson-Brown Returns

In this episode, Angela Jackson Brown, author of the brand new novel WHEN STARS RAIN DOWN, joins the show to talk the transformative power of story and how stories can lead us to greater empathy. WHEN STARS RAIN DOWN is an epic work of historical research. Angela talks the methods she used to research the time and setting of her novel, and how she had to put herself in precarious situations to understand her character's struggles. She discusses the themes of race in her novel, and how engaging with history and the arts to heal our nation's deeply held racism. We discuss "The Help," "Gone With The Wind" and the problems of white writers "dipping their pen into someone else's blood." Angela offers tips for fiction writers who want to write characters who are of a different gender/culture/background than their own.
