African-American

So yummy!

Hi readers, friends and fam,
 
I just wanted to let you know how excited I am to be able to finally offer youIniquities!
It'sBook IIIin myCohort Trilogy, and believe me, just like you loved the first two, you're going to feel that way about this one. I don't mean to sound cocky. You all know that's not my way. I'm just saying... I gave this book all I had.
 
I had help too. That I'm happy to report. My gay male friends were more than willing to give me their input. You know, to make the story real.

Mom's books are now available on Amazon Kindle!

Hello friends and fam,
 
I wanted to let you know that Jessica Janna, my mom's books Seedling  and Sowing  are now available on Amazon Kindle!  She's quite excited about it because to her this format is new -- it's electronic! Mom also admitted that like some of you she likes books to hold in her hands. So now you can make your choice.
 
With Kindle both Seedling  and Sowing  are available for a ridiculously low price. So...maybe you might want to think about giving them as gifts this holiday season.

Get Ready For 'Iniquities!'

Just wanted to update my readers...
 
I am putting the finishing touches on Iniquities, the third novel in The Cohort Trilogy. Ladies, and gentlemen, I think this is some of my finest work yet, but I'll let you be the judge!

It's been a while

I know I haven't said anything in a while. That's because I've been working on the third book inThe Cohort Trilogy. I did also tell you that I wasn't the greatest at blogging, and that I would do so when I could say something of interest to you. I don't want to waste your time, you know?
 
Since many of you keep asking me whereBeau's bookis, the follow-up to both  Absolution  and Progression, I can only say, it's coming. I love that you're interested, don't get me wrong. I can tell you too that like the first couple of novels, this one is also a ride!

A Dedicated Reader Asked

 
(originally posted 01/06/2010)
 
A dedicated reader asked if I'm working on a new book.
 
My answer: I sure am! I've got a great semi-traditional romance coming out by summer 2010. It's calledTURNABOUTand it is adult fiction--as is a lot of my work.
 
TURNABOUT showcases a woman who happens to be involved with a pop music producer while another man won't leave her alone.  It is a love story that not only involves the main couple, but also family, friends, and foes.

I'm Stoked!!
