"Color of Justice" is Leon Pridgen's first novel. It
started as a screenplay and evolved into a full-length novel.
While turning "Color of Justice" into a novel, he discovered
the joy of taking more time to explore the different characters without
the constraints that a screenplay sometimes places on you. Leon
hopes you will enjoy reading "Color of Justice" as much as he
enjoyed writing it. |
