After the Flames Have Cooled is a fiction filled with passion, thrills, and adventures, and it includes a flair of religious beliefs—beliefs that demonstrate strong characteristics in the characters.

Barbara J. Johnson, the fifth of twelve whole (seven half) siblings, was born on a family-owned cotton farm (August 2, 1955) in Vaughan, MS (Yazoo County), to the parents of Wilson J. Washington, Sr., and Dorothy L. (Stevens) Washington.
