Thank You!

 
Hi fam,
 
You all know that lately, I've been chatting with you about the characters in my Cohort Trilogy. I know you were probably expecting that this time, but not today. I will get back to it though. However, my darlings I wanted to say thank you.
 
I truly thank all of you who are making my giveaways successful. I mean we ended last year and started this year, both with a bang! I'd like to thank all the bloggers who have shown a sista much love. I couldn't ask for more. I mean the sweetness is just pouring in from every place on the globe.

The Cohort Trilogy, meet Veronica —more aptly known as Ronni…

 
Hi friends and fam,
 
Today, in keeping with our theme:The Cohort Trilogy-Book I,  Absolution which will soon be re-released with new ISBN numbers, new covers, and updated content I’d like to speak to you about our lead character. Well not about him exactly. I want to introduce Ronni to those of you who haven’t yet met her. This butter-yellow mouthy spirited woman happens to be Beau’s other roommate.
 
Now I must tell you, with Ronni [RON-nee] you will either love her or hate her, there is no in between.

The Cohort Trilogy, meet Ms. Vee Reenay…

 
Hi friends and fam,
 
I trust you all had a memorable holiday season.
 
Since we’re here and moving forward in this New Year that we’ve been blessed to see, let’s again jump right in. I believe I informed you, concerningThe Cohort Trilogy, thatBook IandBook IIwill be re-released with new ISBN numbers, new covers, and updated content.
I like that! As the time nears I will remind you. Now back to us discussing  the characters inThe Cohort Trilogy-Book I,Absolution.
 
I told you a bit about Beau, our gay male lead, and I mentioned his mothering cousin, also in the book.

Information on ‘The Cohort Trilogy’

 
Someone is always asking about my Cohort Trilogy, so I figured I’d tell you a bit about it each week.
 
First of all, the three books in the trilogy are calledAbsolution,Progression, andIniquities. However, let’s speak aboutAbsolution,Book 1for now.
 
In it a reader gets to meet four friends, three women and their gay male roommate Beau [Bo.] Beau and the ladies call themselves cohorts because often they find themselves in untoward situations,together --many of which you the reader will get to see firsthand or hear about through their telling.

Something I'm pondering...

Hi friends & fam,
 
Maybe you're wondering why there are new covers up for
bothAbsolutionandProgression,Books IandIIof
The Cohort Trilogy. Well, those are actually the covers
for thee-booksnow available onKindleandNook.
 
Pretty soon however, those will be the covers for the
paperbacks. You see, bothAbsolutionand
Progressionwill be re-released -- with new ISBN
numbers! Those will correspond with that ofIniquities,
Book IIIof the trilogy.
 
Although I find myself quite busy right now, with the

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!

So Much Going On!

Hey,
 
 
In the midst of all that I as an author and editor have got going on, I just wanted to let you know that yes, I am working on Iniquities, the third novel in  The Cohort Trilogy.
 
I wanted you to know that yes, it is going to be something! The only difference between this book and its predecessors is that it is mostly about the buff, gay male Beau. In this novel, you’ll get to peek into his closeted world and find out quite a few things.  As with the prior two novels in the series,
