    Excerpt from The Player:

    “I wish I could’ve seen you dance live back then.” He was sprawled on her bed with one of his long legs cocked up while the other was diagonal, his heel along the mattress edge. The way his legs were divided gave her a clear view of what lay heavy and thick between his legs.

    The way his eyes got that dreamy look in them, like he was imagining a number of things with her in that outfit gave Harlow an idea. “Close your eyes. Don’t open them until I tell you,” she ordered. “You’ve been a very good boy so I think you deserve a reward.”

    “I hope it’s what I think it is. But I may be wrong. Are you gonna do it? Are you gonna-”

    Once, We Were Colored

    This is one woman’s story.

    I really need to release my historicals (that also feature romance), so that’s what I’m fiddin’ to do 🙂

    I enjoy writing love stories. But I also enjoy crafting historical fiction and Scifi featuring leads of color.

    A historical romance that’s already been released on Amazon.com is JUKEBOX:

    JUKEBOX Volume One
    JUKEBOX Volume One – Midwest teens become America’s first interracial singing duo.

     

    THIS EBOOK WILL BE RELEASED IN FEBRUARY MARCH:

    As a child star David Latimore had a winsome, bucktoothed grin and expressive, molasses brown eyes. His film debut was in a musical feature when he was seven, around 1941, just after World War II broke out. The tiny angel costume he wore looked more like a white nightgown with a bent coat hanger stuck up his back with feathers glued to it. The white sparkles they’d given him to toss around always made his nose itch. “Saints and Sinners” was a Vanguard studio rip-off of “Cabin in the Sky” and MGM’s “Green Pastures.” But “Saints and Sinners” proved to be such a money maker that a couple of songs from the film score had been top forty hits.

    An AA heroine with vitiligo

    In keeping with my theme of diversity (with a focus on underrepresented women of color in publishing), I’ve got a New Adult romance featuring a young woman who discovers just how strong she really is:

     

    Young lovers Bree and Stone, from the ebook The Gorgeous Nothings

     

     

    Pictured: Bree Silvestre, lead character in my New Adult romance about a sexual assault on a college campus.

     

    Excerpt:

    If a six foot-something man could shrink to two feet, that’s what Tyshawn did. My words seemed to make him fold into himself. His shoulders slump, and his face is crestfallen. “Bree, please . . . I just need to explain.”

    “No, you-you get back. Get back or I’ll scream. You were there, and you didn’t do a damn thing except laugh. You saw me on the ground, but you didn’t do anything to help me-”

    “I didn’t know you needed help! Jamie said you had too much to drink, and he was gonna help you get home.”

    “And you believed him.”

    Eek! Reality Bites. Ebook release dates change

    I’ve got a few issues to clear up with the formatting of my ebooks, so I’m changing the release dates (hey, I do all this by my lonesome, in addition to working 9-5).

    Wish I could devote more time to writing and self-pubbing, but I can’t.

    I’m going to clear these issues up and still plan for a release this month.

    On a personal note, I’d like to thank a techie friend for helping me retrieve files that went down with my old computer’s hard drive.

    It’s Not Over Until Its Over

     

    She’s the girl that got away, and newly elected House of Representatives member Brandon Wingate is intent on winning her back.

    Excerpt:

    Brandon darted through traffic, trying to catch up to the girl who reminded him so much of Kenya. Same build, same deep brown skin color excerpt her hair was straight, in some sort of shoulder length style that flipped under. And her outfit was plain. Nothing close to the colorful sweaters and sneakers Kenya loved to wear in college. By the time he caught up to the woman she’d dashed into a restaurant that had a line snaking around several tables. He stood directly behind her, wondering how he’d approach this. What if she wasn’t Kenya? This could be awkward, saying that she reminded him of someone else. He needed something besides visual conformation. He needed voice recognition. He needed-

    Thankfully her phone rang and just about everyone in the place looked down at their own.

    Lifting her phone out of the small purse slung diagonally over her suit jacket, one shapely leg cocked back while the other rocked up and down on the heel of her shoe. He couldn’t help watching her calf flex each time it raised and lowered.

    With a ho-hum sigh she addressed the person on the other end of the line. “I just got here. Um hmm. Consider it done.”

    As Kenya slid her phone back in her purse, Brandon made his move. “Kenya? Kenya Paul?”

    She turned around to find him with a smile so wide, it was like he’d won the lottery. “Brandon? Oh wow, this is a surprise.”
