Before the Civil War, a Black woman ppl called The Black Swan toured the country, selling out concert venues, singing opera music? Her name was Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield, and her life was a movie. Read about her in THE UNEXPECTED DIVA. Everywhere books are sold.

Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield was an opera singer who toured around America before the Civil War.

Author @tiffanylwarren.bsky.social explores Elizabeth’s story in the novel THE UNEXPECTED DIVA, and joins us this week on Vulgar History to share the tale of the “Beyoncé of the antebellum”.

Happy to have such great historical fiction heroines arrive in my book mail from @harpercollins.bsky.social today! Not only did I get Boudicca by @pccast.bsky.social , I was lucky enough to get The Unexpected Diva by @tiffanylwarren.bsky.social as well:) #booksandreading

When I've been talking about THE UNEXPECTED DIVA, I've led with Eliza's three-octave voice. That gift opens doors and noses...especially the one belonging to Charles Monroe. The accompanist is intrigued by Eliza's gift in a spiritual and carnal manner. 📚🌎

Loved getting to know real-life figure Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield in Tiffany L. Warren's THE UNEXPECTED DIVA. Eliza is an incredibly talented Black opera singer in pre-Civil War America determined to be successful despite the overwhelming odds against her. #ewgc #BookSky

Because I simply love Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield, the heroine of my novel THE UNEXPECTED DIVA, I decided to write a short Christmas origin story. AN UNEXPECTED CHRISTMAS is free to enjoy on Amazon until 12/24.

Also, I just tried to listen to k.dot at work 😂. Yeah no. Christmas carols it is.

Okay...nobody asked me...but I'm petty. I'm not calling her Queen Camilla.

Some days are just the absolute worst. And you have to dig and search for reasons to keep doing the things. So tell me something good that happened to you today. Tell me your good news. I need to share someone's joy.

I'm here! First things first, I write books. Today historical fiction, tomorrow sci-fi, next week YA, the week after a screenplay adaptation. I write things.

My new book THE UNEXPECTED DIVA is coming 1/7/2025 from William Morrow. Gonna share things here too!
