The book delivers a captivating journey shown through art and storytelling on ancient black queens who were almost forgotten or unrecognized in history. It features breathtaking, ready-to-hang, original art depicting beautiful black queens who ruled in Africa, Europe, America, and the Middle East. Powerfully written, it describes the opulent, mysterious, intriguing lives of several black queens broken down into four chapters. Each chapter is a spellbinding story in itself and a thought-provoking insight into their lives. The stories are about an ancient family of diabolical, beautiful black queens; a shy black European princess who married an insane king; a black queen who ruled a magical kingdom in America; and a fierce, beautiful African queen who had a harem of over sixty-eight men collected from around the world. This is a must-have as a great reading experience, art collection, or collectible.

About the Author

Joseph Pollakoff was a victim of physical, psychological and sexual abuse as a child. He had to write and draw in secret during his childhood and said, "it gave me great incentive to pursue the forbidden fruit." Growing up in an atmosphere with mentally unstable and abusive parents he found relief from being trafficked and their chronic abuse by expressing himself through his writing, drawing and painting. Being self-taught, he had little contact with the mainstream art until he was discovered by Shonna McDaniels, Director of the Sojourner Truth Multi-Cultural Art Museum. He went on to paint for profound celebrities including Maya Angelou. He has also worked as a curator, historian and resident artist for the Sojourner Truth Multi-Cultural Museum. He provides and teach classes free for youth empowerment, African Diaspora and painting for impoverished populations. He currently lives with his spouse in Elk Grove California with his rescued dogs and cats.
