About The Fire Tosser (Unabridged)

Published with assistance from BePublished.org in October 2019, THE FIRE TOSSER is the 39th literary release by Mylia Tiye Mal Jaza and the author’s first work of historical fiction. A novella exploring the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, this addictive story offers a mix of comedy, conspiracy and Chicagoans that provides listeners a fresh perspective on a long-held belief. “I love history! And, being a former Girl Scout who sang the camp song about ‘Old Lady O’Leary’ as a little girl, I wondered often if the story was made up or real,” the artistpreneur confesses. “Now that I’ve lived in Chicago for almost a decade, I seriously have doubts about that story. My book for this month shares some of the things I think more likely caused the fire that torched Chicago for two days straight in October 148 years ago.”
