because alexandria was way too long…
Happy Monday! But more importantly, Happy August!
A new month means a new project that I’m INCREDIBLY excited about, especially considering I mentioned it being released before the end of the year. (*hint hint*)
But for now, here’s a song to get you into gear for what’s to come!
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! 🙂
The last Sample Sunday until, Love at First Spite is live! If you missed the release date teaser yesterday on Facebook, here it is again :). But more importantly, here’s one final taste of what’s to come on July 22nd – in honor of the return of Power Season 3 tonight lol.

Finally back with another Sample Sunday from my next release, Love at First Spite, coming soon! In fact, a release date will be announced this coming week. So be sure to stay tuned! 🙂
But for now, let’s meet Maxwell.

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.
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! 🙂

I’m sooo excited to finally be able to share a little snippet from my next release, Love at First Spite, coming in July!
Nori and Maxwell have been sooooo much fun to write, so I hope you guys will enjoy them as much as I have.
Now let’s meet Nori. 🙂

Happy Monday!
I hope everyone had a marvelous Father’s Day, or at least a relaxing weekend.
I’ve been inching to the finish line with, Love at First Spite. And I’m hoping I’ll be able to share a sample with you soon. But until then, here’s another song to put you in my head. 😉
Happy Monday, ya’ll!
I’m happy to be back with a song of the week, mainly because it’s coming with the good news of a new book coming soon!
If you’re on Facebook, you may have seen this mini-teaser yesterday. But for those who missed it, here it is again. 🙂
I hope to have a firm release date sooner than later, but it will definitely be the beginning of July at the very latest.
Until then, here’s a song to give you an idea of where we’re headed. 🙂
actually, it's alexandra
