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.
North Korean defector falls for African American ballerina 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.
A reluctant female hero in an empire ruled by women:
“A Woman is a Weapon” A child given the power of creation:

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:
Hui transforms into the King of Pop 
Friends share a laugh. Only, what’s his hand doing under her jeans? Oh HUI, you naughty boy! -
Gotta Dance – The Interview
A candid interview and photo shoot cause problems for Imani and Hui, in the soon to be released ebook HUI
A cover controversy for Imani and Hui 
Imani and Hui pose for the cameras, setting off a firestorm -
Two 惠 Hui 후이
I’ve got two spellings of the name Hui (pronounced Hway) One is Korean 후이 and the other is Chinese 惠
There’s a reason for this in the novel.
As I researched harrowing tales of men, women and children who’ve escaped from North Korea, I was moved not only by their courage, but with each real life story, their hopeful resilience reminded me of those who lived to tell about reaching freedom during the Holocaust and the slaves who were aided by the Underground Railroad. In each case, a network of individuals did what they could to help others escape.*
*While there are religious organizations helping some N. Koreans with their escape and resettlement, there are also individuals who take advantage of the new refugees.

Material Girls
Since making the switch from YA/NA to Adult romance (including erotic) I’ve worked on creating female protagonists who are in different phases in their lives. Both Hui and At Last will be out this month (December). The Player is also scheduled for release in late December.
For Imani, the chance to show the world that she is truly a Prima ballerina means making a heartbreaking decision:

Imani takes flight on stage, in a scene from the ebook HUI For Victoria “Torii” Theas, falling for a paraplegic male ends up blurring the line between being in a romantic relationship and becoming a caregiver, in the May/December, adult erotic contemporary At Last
