    Hello from the Other Side

    Hi!
    If this is your first time visiting this site, I hope you’ll take the time to look around. I write for an underserved population. That is to say, my books feature leads of color (or co-leads who are minority). Most of my in house created book covers and promos reflect my writing platform, which is multicultural in scope.

    While I write primarily in the IR or interracial romance genre, my manuscripts also include scifi, historical romance, NA, YA and non-fiction.

    Thank you for stopping by!

    School of Thought

    My prayers are with the grieving families in Paris, and the nation of France as that country deals with another senseless act of terror.

    Listening to: “You’re Been My Inspiration” by The Main Ingredient featuring the late, great Donnie McPherson.  Donnie’s sweet, clear voice graced hits like “Spinning Around” “You’ve Been My Inspiration” and “I’m so Proud.” Most people know The Main Ingredient by their later hits, like “Everybody Plays the Fool” with Cuba Gooding as their lead singer.

    For me, TMI will always be at their best during their hits featuring Donnie M. Please take a moment to listen:

       

     

    Sometimes when I work on a novel an idea for a new story will pop into my head. I try to table any new book ideas until I release the others in line, but there are instances when the “voice” of a character or a story line comes flooding into my thoughts so strongly, that I have to write the info down right there and then.

    So while HUI will be released shortly, I’ll also have other novels on sale that I’ve completed.

    The Dinner Date

     

     

    HUI
    A beautiful partnership – Imani and HUI

     

     

    “In Korea and China we have baby mice wine. It’s a cure for everything. You got asthma? Drink some baby mice wine. Bones ache? Nothing like baby mice wine.” The horrified WTF look on Imani’s face only egged him on. “We drown newborn mice in rice wine and it takes 12 to 14 months to ferment. Then it’s safe to drink.”

    “How are dead mice ever safe to drink?”

    He countered with, “Ah, but you Americans drink Tequila and swallow a worm.”

    “Uh, sure. But I still think you’re punking me. I don’t think there’s any such thing as baby mice wine.”

    “It’s true. Look it up on your phone, look it up on the Google.”

    “I’m gonna do just that. You better not be messing with me.”

    “Or what?” he challenged.

    She pinched a crouton from her salad in order to throw it at him, but changed her mind after he kept laughing at her. No, she needed something else. Maybe a chickpea or a baby tomato bonking him right on the forehead would work.

    Hui and Imani

    I’m going to keep this short, since it’s all about Hui and Imani right now, as I’m focused on the marketing (ads and book trailer) prior to the release of this novel.

     

     

    The love affair between an African American ballerina and a North Korean ballet star is chronicled in the ebook HUI
