women's fiction

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.

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...

A dedicated reader asked about my latest fiction.
 
My answer: It's a great, semi-traditional romance calledTURNABOUTand it is available many places, includingAmazon. It is truly adult fiction in its purest form --as is most 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 wrote it like this because isn't that how relationships go anyway?

Interested in finding out more about my novel Turnabout?

Happy [belated] Sista's Day!

I have a lovely dear friend, whom I'll call J, who forwarded the most beautiful email to me. This I forwarded to my wonderful cyberfriendTamela Quijas, who also happens to be an exceptionally talentedauthor. Not only has she written a cookbook that practically sells itself; on her exciting and oh so visually interesting website, she is ever offering wonderfully simple but delicious recipes. It doesn't stop there. This lady has also written paranormal romance novels that will cause readers to nibble their nails as their hearts pound and they wonder what will happen next!
