    Let me first start out by saying how disappointed I am with the new TV season. Specifically, the way black female leads on shows like Sleepy Hollow, Vampire Diaries and Minority Report are getting short changed.

     

    Sleepyhollow on FOX
    The way we were. Argggh!!! Damn, this used to be my must-see-TV show.

     

    I’d really hoped that Sleepy Hollow would get back on track with Abby and Crane, but no. So while I love me some Lance Gross, even his addition can’t help the show now.

    With season two destroying the story line from season one (and thereby ensuring the show’s demise), Sleepy Hollow has devolved into the leads battling a “monster of the week” with no real center. On Vampire Diaries Bonnie is a witch with no real powers and the writers still can’t seem to figure out who to pair her with romantically. Minority Report? Again, while there is a black female lead on the show, unlike her male counterpart in the movie Minority Report, Vega has no family, no real backstory, and soon the show may have no viewers.

    I’m still watching these shows, but as their ratings continue to drop, I don’t see any of them staying on the air.
    I won’t even get into Heroes Reborn killing off The Haitian (a fave character of mine, and a very bad move imho on the show’s part). And while I do still watch Empire . . . I think I better stop right there.

    So, in short,  two new characters of mine were borne out of frustration. Asian American Thomas Nomad and my badass female lead, NIM. Breaking the rules of engagement regarding otherworldly beings, Thomas and NIM’s relationship is sexy, SEXUAL and fluid 🙂

    A HUI excerpt and Serena is GOAT

    First, Serena Jameka Williams is GOAT.

    Check out JK Rowling’s comeback on twitter to someone who tried to rain on Serena’s parade:

    JK Rowling comback to Serena hater

     

    Serena’s WEARING that dress!! Look at those curves!

    That Wimbledon women’s final had everything. High drama, an  emotional roller coaster for both players. There were thrilling rallies and at times, brilliant shots. Yes, both players had a case of the yips. But it was the Wimbledon final, so I expected that. Garbine Muguruza is a rising star in tennis. I’ve been watching her progress, and her talent is undeniable.

     

    A few more promos I’d worked on for my fictitious ballet sex symbol, Le Jong Hui:

    One more excerpt before the book comes out:

    If Hui wanted to impress her with this place he’d succeeded.  From the time they stopped in front of a building with a wrought iron entrance and made their way to a top floor condo ─ a place that Hui said someone had graciously offered the use of ─  Imani’s eyes bulged at the décor and design.

    Excerpt: 

     

    “When I dance with Ming-ju, I think of how I am dancing with you.”

    His statement shocked her. “You . . . you pretend it’s me and you dancing?”

    “Yes.” Considering the way he was expectantly staring, it was time to reveal her feelings. “I think you already know how I-I . . . I mean with the way I jumped your bones in the shoe manager’s office-” Blushing, Imani dropped her eyes and her voice as she continued. “I wasn’t exactly subtle about how much I like you.”

    “I like you too, I-mani.”

    That sultry smile of hers was back, as their abrupt kiss kept replaying in her mind. “If we had to know how to pronounce your name, you need to know that my name is sorta like Emma, only it’s spelled with an i and not an e. M’mani.” When they moved towards each other Imani glanced around, noticing something was different. “Where’s your bodyguard and that other guy, the interpreter?”
