because alexandria was way too long…
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! 🙂

Hooray for Sample Sunday!!
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. 🙂
Happy Monday to all three of you that read this!
LOL I’m kidding, I’m kidding.
Anyway, this week’s song of the week is kind of random, but it’ll make sense once I explain.
This weekend, I finally gave Views –Drake’s latest album- a real, genuine listen and I came to the sad conclusion that while I do still enjoy Drake, this wasn’t my favorite album of his. I’m not sure if it’s the competitiveness of music right now with so much being released so fast (I’m still bumping Lemonade and Twenty 88 faithfully). Or am I simply growing out of Drake’s singing voice. Either way, I’d encourage you to listen and be the judge for yourself, but I’m not exactly ready to throw it in my rotation.
Well…. maybe some songs.
But definitely not the whole CD.
Nonetheless, this week’s song of the week is one of my favorite tracks featuring Drake (or not, depending on who’s album you were listening to). But this song is from way back when he was still an up-and-comer and his voice sounded different lol.
Told ya’ll it was random, right? 😉
Have a good week! ❤
Happy Monday, ya’ll!
It’s been far too long since we’ve had a song of the week, and I take full responsibility!
(LoL obviously…)
But anyway, this past weekend I had the pleasure of seeing the Queen Bey herself in concert which was AH-Mazing! If you have a chance to catch her in your city, I highly recommend you go! And this is coming from someone who has seen Beyoncé in concert three times now, so you know it’s real. LOL
I wanted to share my favorite song from Lemonade, Love Drought, but of course Bey has the album on lock when it comes to free internet stuff. Well… besides that free trial on Tidal that I’m still wearing out lol.
But since the new stuff is locked down, I decided to take it back with one of my favorite Bey songs which also kind of fits into the storyline for the next book I’m working on!
Check it out! 🙂
*Squeals*
Book Baby #10 is live!
(Is this even real life?)
I am so excited for you guys to read about Malia & Blaise! Their story felt a lot different than anything else I’ve written before, so I’m *hoping* you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed telling it!
And make sure you let me know what you think! 🙂
Tomorrow!
It’s going down! LOL
(Can ya’ll tell how excited I am for ya’ll to read this book?! Okay, good!)
ANYWAY!
Here’s one more little teaser to get you ready. 😉
