Do some interviews they said. It will be fun they said. So, I did some interviews. I think they speak for themselves- literally. See what I did there? Ha ha! Anyway, this host is the best. But I was still nervous as a virgin at a prison rodeo.
So, it has been a while since I last sat down in here. I made a new video showing off my books. Fourteen of these bad babies! I'm off for the summer and I intend to get a lot done. Right now I am trying to finish up IN HIS EYES.  It's been a long time since I was here. More than a year. Gosh! Oh well. Anyway I published another novella. In Too Deep was my attempt at penning an epic street lit drama. As always, however, it turned into a love story- with very little street action. More than writing over the past year or so I've been designing upcoming book covers namely for the Fairlight Novels and The Outlaw Series, also I am currently working on covers for a few contemporary works in progress, I am not a graphic designer, yet I think my covers are attractive and work quite well with my stories. By Spring my goal is to publish two more novellas and this summer I hope to publish part three of the Outlaw Series as well as part two of Scarlett. It's a lot to do and quite a challenge. Wish me luck! Wow. Looks like I haven't posted anything since way back in June! Wow. I guess it's official, I am not a blogger. I'm a writer who has nothing much to talk about. Tonight however, I have a little something to share. I just completed a full length novel which I started out writing as a novelette. It sort of got out of hand and I sort of regained control by letting the muse roll free. I guess, as an independent writer that is the way to go. This novel was supposed to be an interracial love story. The couple is interracial but I don't think it follows the normal formula for the genre. It's just a love story about a young Black woman with certain issues with food and sex, who happens to let a young Caucasian male get all under her skin and manage to open up her world to include romance and love. I think it is both sexy and sweet. Just like Dalton. Jolene had a bit of adjusting to do but she grew on me, and Dalton just had to love her as much as I did. I hope to have it polished up and ready to go before Christmas. It's a good story so if you should read it and like it (or if you don't like it) leave a review or contact me via my Contact Page and let me know what you think. You won't hurt my feelings if you are honest and respectful. Yesterday, I worked on the e book cover,wanting to do something a little bit different. Somehow I just wasn't satisfied with anything much with the fonts and texts, so I got on Facebook and had my friends comment on what they liked or didn't like about the different mocks I put together. Bless my Facebook friends, they always come through for me. I'm no graphic designer but I do enjoy making my own book covers and book trailers. I'm not feeling doing a trailer for Just Like My Coffee at this time. Don't know why not, maybe later. Anyway, I'm all excited. After it is released, I hope you check it out.

So- sells are pretty good for this novella so far. I've just put it out in paperback at the Createspace bookstore. Also I made the trailer to go with it. I am so amazed that this book is my bestseller! Anyway, go ahead and check out the trailer on my contemporary page.
I have to admit I like age appropriate love. I mean adult to adult, or adolescence with adolescence. Some might say Jane Eyre and Mister Rochester were inappropriate because she was eighteen and he was already over forty. If my memory serves me. Anyway, I always felt they were both adults so I went with it and loved it. I've watched just about every version of the movie. Such a wonderful love story with tragedy thrown in.
Anyway, I wanted to write a modern, beautifully, tragic May December romance that is sensual and sexy and full of honest emotion. I think I accomplished that with my novelette Just To See Him Again. I fell in love, laughed and cried along with this magical couple. I hope my readers feel the same. I mean, I loved this story!

A Gift From The Muses?
Actually, I was writing Scarlett under the working title Oh Moon! Yeah, that's how I wrote it, with an exclamation point. I was thinking about a poem I read in my high school English Lit class. It was sappy of course, but I always liked the title for some reason. And except for the title, I don't recall anything else about the poem, not even the author. Anyway, I thought Oh Moon! would be a good title for my second paranormal novel, which sort of sprang forth from Fairlight. I was loving writing about kick ass witches then thought I should tone it down with another witchy creation. Anyway, while I was writing Oh Moon! I was thinking about another story and started on Fine Lines, an adult contemporary novel. My sister told me the two female leads had almost the same backgrounds with their husbands, and she was correct. No wonder the writing was so easy.
I stopped writing Oh Moon! as a novel and wrapped it up as a novelette. Which kind of became an outline(or something) for my paranormal novel, Scarlett and the adult contemporary, Fine Lines. I re- named Oh Moon! to Magic Moons and hesitated to publish it, on account of I was afraid someone might read it and say, it was a hybrid of Scarlett and Fine Lines and claim I'm lazy or some other stuff that isn't true. When actually, Scarlett and Fine Lines were born from Oh Moon! which I re-named to Magic Moons. I am about to submit it to amazon tonight and by morning it will go live. I'm hoping it is received well for what it is. I love it. Here's the cover I made for it.
