    TCB

     

    TCB is an older term that means Take care of business. It can be heard on Aretha Franklin’s classic hit “Respect.”

    I’ve got a number of books to release, one of which is IVY League (but not before HUI, The Player and At Last)

    Did the man ever raise his eyes to look directly at anyone during rehearsal? Imani wondered.

    As she inwardly grumbled about Hui’s aloofness, he glanced up. Imani’s breath caught in her throat. Make the connection. Come on. She willed herself to smile, hoping against hope that it was actually a grin she’d formed and not something that made her look much too desperate, or God forbid, just plain frightening. Her trembling smile gained an ever widening grin from him. It was glorious and bright and so infectious that Imani’s lips divided invitingly.

    As she moved forward her shoulder bumped against the girl next to her.

    “Oh, sorry,” Imani stammered.

    Renditions of the main male characters from OFFWORLD have been up for a while:

    I’d searched all over for photos that best represented the men in the book, because I was still learning how to digitally edit photos.

    Now that I’ve got the hang of it, I decided to post some of my own fantasy renditions of otherworldly African American women since we’re underrepresented in the Scifi and Fantasy genre:

    Becoming Hui

    Dedicated. Deliberate. Humble. These are just some of the qualities Le Jong Hui exemplifies. But underneath his carefully crafted exterior is a man who fights to stay in control of his emotions . . . until he meets a woman who gets under his skin and takes his breath away.

    The Final Frontier

    Sometimes I get so caught up in the real world that I don’t get back to my fictional worlds as often as I’d like.

    So as I ready the ebook HUI for release, I’m mindful of the books I’ve been editing at a slow and steady pace.

    Some of these books are in the genre of science fiction:

    A reanimated man – OFFWORLD, which was recently included in a Speculative fiction post on a site titled blackgirlnerds.

     

    Steampunk hero Leonidas "Leo" Sinclair

     

     

    A reluctant female hero in an empire ruled by women:

    Type – O

    The title is a play on the word “typo” an affliction that has plagued me in each novel I write and edit. Still, I love it when a plot and characters come together, and whenever I can infuse personality into an angst filled lead. For example, HUI:
