For Mothers Everywhere

 
Hi friends and fam,
 
Today, I’d like to wish all the mothers, and those who will soon become mothers a lovely Mother’s Day. As I was thinking about this special holiday, I couldn’t help but think about my own mom. Thinking about her caused me to think about other moms, and about a friend of mine who will soon again become a mom. Mothers, if they are anything like mine, are so precious—even those who have passed on. For my own mom, I truly thank God each day. I am overjoyed that she is yet here.

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.

See how many young Latina women choose to celebrate

 
This week on BellaOnline.com at the Ethnic Beauty site, we're discussing la fiesta quinceañera -- the rite of passage that heralds a girl's arrival into womanhood.
 

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,

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!
