[close] Basically I became interested in becoming a writer after reading Terry McMillan’s novel Disappearing Acts. In 2004 my author dreams were realized via the release of her controversial debut novel My Daughter’s Boyfriend, the story of a 34-year old single mother that becomes attracted to her teenaged daughter’s boyfriend. My second novel is My Husband’s Girlfriend, a story about a wife that allows her husband to take on a mistress.

I love to read read and am the creator of http://www.book-remarks.com, a popular website that promotes the books of African-American writers.

My novels/interviews have been featured in USA Today, Black Beat Magazine, Publishers Weekly, Jewel Magazine, Quarterly Black Review, Booking Matters Magazine, Essence magazine, Ebony magazine, Black Expressions Book Club, among others.

Some of my extracurricular interests include traveling, reading all kinds of magazines, shopping, watching movies on the big screen (preferably comedy, romance, and drama), and doing anything that relieves stress.

Born and raised in Detroit, I graduated from good ole Cass Technical High School and earned an undergraduate degree in written communications from Eastern Michigan University.
