Twice a Slave is the story of a Cherokee slave, a forbidden romance, and tragedies that build faith. One man who is determined to find his purpose and discover his identity becomes a slave a second time, and he changes the course of history in Louisiana. It would come as a surprise to the often race-tested churches of the deep-south that the man most responsible for planting Baptists west of the Mississippi River was of mixed race. Joseph Willis is one of the most fascinating personalities in Evangelical history. He was born into slavery before the American Revolution, the son of a Cherokee mother and an English father who faced incredible difficulties. His story is timeless and inspires the modern heart to overcome insecurities, conquer prejudice between believers, and insurmountable obstacles that unsettle the faithful. Even though Joseph's life was threatened because of his race and faith, he became the first Protestant to preach the gospel west of the Mississippi River. This is a novel about an unknown slave filled with drama, suspense, love, defeat, and ultimately triumph, an epic all can cheer for. Website: www.ThreeWindsBlowing.com

Randy Willis is a fourth great-grandson of Joseph Willis, and his foremost historian. ✯✯✯✯✯ The Birth of the Biographies, Novels and the Play.... And, the real-life connections between William Prince Ford, Solomon Northup, James "Jim " Bowie, and Joseph Willis As a child Randy Willis lived on Barber Creek (the location of many of his stories) between Longleaf and Forest Hill, Louisiana. As a teenager, he worked cows with his family, near Forest Hill, on the open range, owned by lumber companies. Seven generations of his family have lived there, beginning in 1828 with his 4th Great-Grandfather Joseph Willis. Randy would often ride his horse through his family's neighboring property, which was once William Prince Ford's Wallfield Plantation, not realizing the significance of his ancestor's connection to Solomon Northup and William Prince Ford. ✯ ✯ ✯ After writing the biography The Apostle to the Opelousas, Randy Willis got the idea for the novel and the play Twice a Slave from his friend and fellow historian Dr. Sue Eakin. She contacted him after reading an article that mentioned he had obtained the Spring Hill Baptist Church's minutes. The minutes had much information on two of its founders: Joseph Willis and William Prince Ford. Ford had bought the slave Solomon Northup on June 23, 1841, in New Orleans. He immediately brought him to his Wallfield Plantation. Just 46 days later, on August 8, 1841, Joseph Willis and William Prince Ford founded Spring Hill Baptist Church. Ford's slaves attended the church with him, which was the custom in pre-Civil War Louisiana. The plantation was located on Hurricane Creek, a fourth-mile east of present-day Forest Hill, Louisiana. It was located on the crest of a hill, on the Texas Road that ran along side a ridge. Northup called this area, in his book Twelve Years a Slave, "The Great Piney Woods." Ford was also the headmaster of Spring Creek Academy located near his plantation and Spring Hill Baptist Church. It was there, in 1841, that Joseph Willis would live and entrust his diary to his protégé William Prince Ford, according to historian W.E. Paxton (A History of the Baptist of Louisiana, from the Earliest Times to the Present, 1888). ✯ ✯ ✯ Ford was not a Baptist preacher when he purchased Solomon Northup and the slave Eliza, a.k.a. Dradey, in 1841, as many books, articles, blogs, and the movie 12 Years a Slave have portrayed. The first part of the Spring Hill Baptist Church minutes are written in Ford's own handwriting since he was the church's first secretary and also the first church clerk. The minutes reveal that on July 7, 1842, Ford was elected deacon. On December 11, 1842, Ford became the church 's treasurer, too. It was during the winter of 1842 that Ford sold a 60% share of Northup to John M. Tibeats. Ford's remaining 40% was later conveyed to Edwin Epps, on April 9, 1843. It was not until February 10, 1844, that Ford was ordained as a Baptist preacher. A year later, on April 12, 1845, Ford was excommunicated for "communing with the Campbellite Church at Cheneyville." But, Ford's later writings reveal that he remained close friends with his neighbor and mentor Joseph Willis. ✯ ✯ ✯ Dr. Eakin asked Randy Willis if he would help her with her research on William Prince Ford. He also lectured in her history classes, at Louisiana State University at Alexandria, on the subject. Dr. Eakin wrote Randy Willis on March 7, 1984, "We had a wonderful experience dramatizing Northup and I think there could be a musical play on Joseph Willis. It seems to me it gets the message across far more quickly than routine written material." She added, "A fictional novel based upon Joseph Willis's life would be more interesting to the general public than a biography and would reach a greater audience." Dr. Eakin is best known for documenting, annotating, and reviving interest in Solomon Northup's 1853 book Twelve Years a Slave. She, at the age of eighteen, rediscovered along-forgotten copy of Solomon Northup's book, on the shelves of a bookstore, near the LSU campus, in Baton Rouge. The bookstore owner sold it to her for only 25 cents. In 2013, 12 Years a Slave won the Academy Award for Best Picture. In his acceptance speech for the honor, director Steve McQueen thanked Dr. Eakin: "I'd like to thank this amazing historian, Sue Eakin, whose life, she gave her life's work to preserving Solomon's book." ✯ ✯ ✯ James "Jim " Bowie was a neighbor of Joseph Willis when they both lived near Bayou Chicot, Louisiana. Jim's brother, Rezin Bowie, was a neighbor to Joseph's eldest son Agerton Willis and eldest grandson, Daniel Hubbard Willis Sr. for four years (1824-1827) in the village of Bayou Boeuf. The name changed to Holmesville, in 1834, and is located near present-dayEola. It was at Holmesville, on Bayou Boeuf, that Edwin Epps enslaved (1845-1853) Solomon Northup for the last eight years of his twelve year indenture. ✯ ✯ ✯ It was in the village of Bayou Boeuf that Joseph's eldest son and Randy Willis's 3rd great-grandfather Agerton Willis met and married Sophie Story (an Irish orphan). Their eldest son Daniel Hubbard Willis Sr. would be the first of many in the family to follow Joseph Willis into the ministry. He even planted more churches in Louisiana than Joseph. His son, Daniel Hubbard Willis Jr., is the main character in Randy Willis's novel Louisiana Wind. ✯✯✯✯✯Website: threewindsblowing.com Randy Willis's Amazon author's page: amazon.com/author/randywillis Three Winds Blowing trailer: youtu.be/qbQXzF35aWETwice a Slave trailer: vimeo.com/93896657Twice a Slave, the play trailer: vimeo.com/99360694 Goodreads: goodreads.com/randywillis Linkedin: linkedin.com/in/randywillisbooks Twitter: twitter.com/randywillisnews Blog: randywillisbooks.wordpress.com/WillisBooks Contact randywillis@twc.com

Johnson This is a very compelling story of the life of a Godly man and how God blessed him through out his life even though he had many trials and hardships. Joseph Willis was my 5th Great Grandfather, I was born in Cravens LA in 1942. My Mother Winnie Lee Bailey, passed away 16 May 2011. She was not aware of the great heritage of her Mothers family. But she followed in the steps of Joseph, serving the Lord Jesus Christ her entire life.This is a wonderful testimony to the faithfulness of God when we seek His and follow His Commandments.Joseph Willis (1758 - 1854) - Lemuel Willis (1812 - 1862) - Son of JosephSharilda Willis (1854 - 1908) - Daughter of LemuelIndiana "Ana" Perkins (1872 - 1951) - Daughter of SharildaLue Johnson (1901 - 1988) - Daughter of Indiana "Ana"Winnie Lee Bailey (1925 - 2011) - Daughter of Lue
