    For Love of the Game

    College basketball season is winding down, but I’m ramping up with new books that feature female players:

     

    Emanuelle playing in wheelchair league

     

     

    Emanuelle or “El” as she likes to be called, is a vibrant, sexually active paraplegic woman

     

    Emanuelle is a character who continues my Sex and the Single Paraplegic Series. The first book featured Torii and Ethan in At Last:

    Tall Story

    They’re called “bigs” on a basketball team, and my upcoming ebook features college sweethearts who play NCAA ball.

    Yul Sukari (I decided to change his first name from Yohan) and Rhea Chappelle are the bigs on their respective male and female squads.

     

    All is fair in Love and Basketball.

    UPDATE – Family comes first, so I had to step away from writing in order to help out.

    I hope to get back on track with book releases. My sincere apologies for the delay.

     

    Here’s a blast from the past:

    Congrats to the Raptors

     

    Before I go into the Raptors thrilling game six win, here’s another promo I’ve created for my New Adult collegiate basketball ebook One on One:

     

    One on One characters: Yohan Sukari, Rhea Chappelle and Jeloni Thorpe. Low resolution promo.

     

    Congratulations to the Toronto Raptors. Game 6 of the NBA Finals came down to the wire, with the Raptors winning a 114-110 victory over the Golden State Warriors. This is the first title for the Raptors, and they also made history with point guard Jeremy Lin:

    “After the Toronto Raptors won the NBA championship against the Golden State Warriors in Game 6 on Thursday, point guard Jeremy Lin became the first Asian American player to take home a ring. Cleveland Cavaliers’ Jordan Clarkson, who is of Filipino descent, made it to last year’s finals, but did not take home a championship. ”

    It’s important to note that Jeremy is the first Asian American, that’s why I have it in bold. The first Asian was Mengke Bateer with the 2003 San Antonio Spurs. The second Asian to win a ring played for the 2009 NBA Champs Los Angeles Lakers and his name is Sun Yue.

    The Raptors Pascal Siakam also made history as the first player from Cameroon to win an NBA Championship ring.

    I’m a big fan of Jeremy Lin. His NBA journey is a study of hard work and talent.

    In my fictional story about an Indonesian collegiate star, Yohan Sukari uses Jeremy Lin as a role model in his own quest to become an NBA player.

    Masters of our own Universe

    I’ve had to rediscover my love of writing, due to my mom’s death and a change in my family duties. Books were put on hold, but I plan on releasing new ones this month. I thank all readers for your patience during this trying time.

    What I love about writing is the ability to world build as I see fit (but still within the confines of reality when creating fiction based on real life). That’s why I’m excited about the upcoming New Adult offerings, like the basketball romance ONE on ONE.

    This book focuses on two elite NCAA basketball players, one male and one female. The supporting characters include Hispanic and LGBTQ voices, because being inclusive is one of the reasons I decided to self-publish.

    Excerpt:

    Make-up sex is the greatest thing ever.

    Basketball Jones and Woke Music History

    Remember this name: P. P. Arnold. In 1966 at the tender age of twenty she went over to England, recording with the greats of British music: Mic Jagger, Cat Stevens, Rod Stewart, the band Small Faces and Barry Gibbs.

    P. P. Arnold – Then and Now

    Patricia Arnold sang backup for the Ike and Tina Turner Revue, and traveled with them overseas. She quit the tour in 1966 and stayed in England, noting this: “A young black woman on her own in America in a white environment would not have been treated as well as I was in England.”

    Pat’s UK hits included “Angel of the Morning” which became a big hit in the US for Merrilee Rush and country singer Juice Newton.

    For more on P. P. Arnold’s legendary musical history, please visit her website: https://pparnold.com/biography

    In later posts I’ll have more info on black women who made music history, since two of my novels deal with groundbreaking fictional singers (Jukebox Vol. One and The Queen of Comedy)

     

    I’ve got new ebooks coming out in April late May, including:
