Carla J LawsonCarla J. Lawson is a California, Bay Area multi- faceted artist/author who entered into the literary world with the trilogy Odara's Rise. The books of the trilogy, The Return, The Weavers and The Decision, are an afro-futurism/ Black Sci Fi series tht feature an African American female superhero named Odara. Odara's story is completely unpredictable with multiple layers of culture, history, folklore and mysticism. Odara is a spirit warrior who utilizes a physical body to carry out assignments for the greater good of the universe. She uses time travel, telekinesis, spells, orbs and other special gifts and abilities when called into warfare. The Return, the first book of the trilogy introduces Odara and gives you a glimpse of who she is and what she does. In The Weavers, the second book of the trilogy, Odara is assigned to find the 64,000 missing Black women in the United States of America and hopefully return them to their families. The final book of the trilogy, The Decision, is based on Odara's consistent growth and favorable accomplishments. She will have to decide if she will accept a promotion to full ascension as a spirit warrior or continue to carry out her assignments using a physical body as the vessel. The three books have a flow that will keep readers engaged and engrossed, eagerly waiting to see what will happen in Odara's world next. Carla's journey as an author is just beginning. Next on the horizon is a body of work that falls somewhere between mystery/thrillers with African American protagonists and villains. You can follow Carla J.
