song of the week. 8/15.

Happy Monday!!

So…. this week’s Song of the Week came from a story idea that’s been brewing for the last couple of weeks. A story that’s managed to take over my focus as far as a next release is concerned. And a story that a lot of people have actually asked about. (*wink wink*)

But since that’s all I can tell you about it right now, I’ll leave you with the song that inspired it. 🙂

Happy Monday!!

This past weekend was amazing for so many reasons; one being the release of my latest novel, Love at First Spite.

I am so incredibly grateful for all of the readers who continue to support me, the generous souls who took the time out to leave reviews/ratings, and everything else in between!

For this week’s SOTW, I decided to pick a song that held *some* significance in the book. During the early stages of this book, we unfortunately said goodbye to The Purple One himself. So I felt it was only right to honor him in the best way I knew how. 🙂

Have a beautiful week!

Book Baby #11 is officially live!

It’s still surreal every time I publish a book, and I’m so incredibly grateful for all of you who continue to support me! Nori and Maxwell were SO SO SOOOO much fun to write. And I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

Also, reviews and ratings are ALWAYS so greatly appreciated. So if you feel inclined to leave your thoughts when you’re done, even if it’s short and sweet, I’d love to see it! 🙂

my father was a police officer.

My father was a police officer.

In fact, he wasn’t just any police officer. He eventually became the First Black Police Chief in Omaha, Nebraska; a place later deemed most dangerous in the US for black people. (per capita)

We lived next door to another police officer, a black woman who worked as a detective. As a family, my siblings and I were taken under the wing of a cohort of police officers – both men and women – who all looked exactly like us…. black.

This was my view of the police growing up. My vision. Seeing my father and his police friends in their uniforms work off-duty as security for the rivalry basketball games in the community. Seeing my father and his police friends coach countless inner-city little league teams on the weekends. Seeing my father and his police friends come up with initiative after initiative to keep kids off the streets.

song of the week. 6/27.

All smiles on this particular Monday after watching a successful BET Awards show last night!

For this particular song of the week, I felt it was only right to pay HOMAGE to one of the performers from last night’s show who also shares a first name with the hero from my next release, Love at First Spite.

Check it out! 🙂
