Blue asked Sadeqa Johnson:

What does Yellow Wife mean? It's such an odd name. I read House Of Eve and would recommend. Well liked...

Sadeqa Johnson When I was researching the novel I came across a portion of Robert Lumpkin's will and he said something like I leave my fortune and real estate to my "Yellow Wife" meaning Mary Lumpkin who inspired the story of Pheby Delores Brown. Yellow because she was very fair skinned. I'm so glad you enjoyed The House of Eve!

I just finished Yellow Wife and was hoping for a sequel as well. Loved it! Have you thought about it much over the past year?

Elana asked Sadeqa Johnson:

I appreciate how you are delving in to the many shades of black women. We don't desire to have European features, with a gigantic butt and supersized breast. All of us aren't angry, loud and running out to purchase latest high end fashion trend. Is there a possibility of you developing a story about women (50s) post divorce? I'd like to read your perspective on how you see us.
