    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.”

    Additional Excerpt from The Gorgeous Nothings:

    “This isn’t happening,” he muttered, pacing around the room. “Somebody’s gonna walk in on us, like your dad.”

    I giggled, loving how unnerved he was about the whole thing. “If it bothers you that much then just lock the door.”

    “No.” With a shaky finger he pointed to my pants on the floor. “You-you put your jeans back on.”

    “Only if you look at me. And I mean really look at me, Stone.”

    He shook his head. I’d never seen his eyes that big before. They were wide and wild, like some animal trapped in a house, a poor creature filled with anxiety because they don’t know how to escape. It wasn’t funny anymore, so I reached for my jeans. “Never mind, this was stupid.” How pathetic was I? 

    “Bree, wait. You have a beautiful body.”

    All the Fine Young Cannibals

    I’m ready to start marketing upcoming releases, so this weekend I’ll have a number of FREE extended chapter excerpts on Amazon and SCRIBD. I use excerpts as promotional tools for my books.

    The other reason I use Sneak Peeks (especially on Amazon) is because periodically, the company changes it algorithms. If you are a new writer its important to be aware of this.  Here are two recent articles on the subject (be sure to read the comments section also):
