My sons have been kidnapped and are being held with a promise that their lives will be taken if I run to the police. But my silence brings death to those who don't deserve it. My wife is begging me to go to the police and tell them that the killer they are searching for comes to my office for private "sessions." I want to so bad, but how could I take the chance? Could you?

Dwayne Hey Tina.. so far the publisher has released just Growing Pains for the Kindle. Not sure when the others or which will be available. Did you download the chapters for In Strict Confidence from www.achapteramonth.com? They can be downloaded straight to your kindle for .99

Liane Spicer Thank you for the Goodreads connection, Dwayne. Greetings from the Caribbean!


message 28: by Eva

Eva Leger I started the book this morning Dwayne and I just finished. I loved it! Hopefully you know I'm not just saying that (I'm way too anal to fudge a rating on here anyway- for anyone- so that'll never happen! LOL) I think it's fantastic and I wouldn't have ever guessed you'd written it years ago. I'm looking forward to Betrayal even more, if that's possible!
I really think you did a fantastic job with this one- I hope others are telling you the same thing because it's true. So much urban fiction is so unrealistic these days with the kingpins and women wearing $200,000 dresses and it's all great for a little bit of drama but it's not like a real book, a realistic book that someone can actually identify with.
My exes Mom was a lot like Jean (except she hasn't changed as far as I know!)- this was really a breath of fresh air and I mean every word of that.


message 27: by Eva

Eva Leger Hey Dwayne, the book came today! You are so sweet! I love the message inside! I'm going to start it asap and get back to you!
I'm planning to move soon and I can't wait because I'll finally have a space for my signed books and yours will be front and center!
I'm so excited to start reading this! :)Thanks again for sending it to me Dwayne and for thinking about me!

Eva Leger Thanks Dwayne! I'll read it as soon as it gets here- you know that! :) I can't wait- I already have a note on my desk about Betrayel coming in October so I won't forget- thanks for the MySpace message too! I'm going to go ahead and see the sample chapters now even though I know I'll just be teasing myself!


message 24: by Dwayne

Dwayne Hey everyone...new sample chapters posted for If It Isn't Love(out in stores now!) ad Betrayal (Coming October '09!) Enjoy!!

message 20: by Eva

Eva Leger Hi Dwayne! I haven't talked to you in awhile and I'm excited to I have to tell you! I just found Around The Way Girls 4 and Choices Men Make today! I'm going to try to find Never Say Never now and I just saw about the new one out in July- that's awesome. I can't wait to read that one too! :D


message 19: by Eva

Eva Leger I just got The Womanizers today!! I'm so excited to have another by you to read now!! :) The only bad thing is I have to wait to start it. I don't really have to wait but I'm going to. I don't want it to be something I'm reading along with anything else and I'm in the middle of reading something with a girlfriend. I'm going to start as soon as I'm done with that though and I'll let you know what I think when I'm done!


message 18: by Eva

Eva Leger I finished Til It's Gone! Wow! I'm impressed. I figured because it's a little shorter that it might not be as good but I definitely enjoyed it a lot. I'm really looking forward to all the rest- I love when I find someone who writes as good as you! :) I'm going to pick up The Womanizers and maybe In Too Deep next. :) Thanks again Dwayne!


message 17: by Eva

Eva Leger I just saw that Homewreckers is being looked at for a movie! That is so great! When will you find out? Make sure you post on here when you do find out because I'll be checking for that for sure!


message 16: by Eva

Eva Leger Hi Dwayne! I can't wait for your signing date here in Delaware! I'm not going to miss it- I'm excited to actually meet you. I just noticed that you live in Maryland, what part are you in? I don't really know too many parts, Elkton and Chesapeake I know because they're so close to me and Baltimore of course but that's about it.
You have a great Thanksgiving too! : )

Donneil D. Jackson I just finished Home Wrecker. It was good. You have a new fan!


message 14: by Eva

Eva Leger Oh, believe me, I've been telling my friends about the book! I will go and post a review on amazon. I've never done that before but I suppose it's a good idea huh? LOL A good way for a lot more people to see it. I will do that very soon. I'm also really looking forward to reading more from you. I'll be looking this week when I order from amazon actually. That'd be awesome if you do eventually do a sequel with Lisette. I usually like sequels, if the first book was good and there is a 'reason' to bring the character back then I'm all for it and you definitely left it open to bring her back. I'll get back to you when I've read another of yours and let you know! :)


message 13: by Eva

Eva Leger I LOVED, LOVED Home Wrecker! I knew I'd like it but it was most definitely better than I expected. I got the biggest kick out of Lisette. I especially love how confidant and out spoken she is. I was talking to a friend recently who said some great things about Womanizers but I read enough from this one to already know I want to read all that you've writte. I love when I find an author I can do that with whether they have two books or ten! :) I'm going to look for Womanizers, In Too Deep and If You're Girl Only Knew this week and I'll let you know as I finish them what I think. I know I won't be dissappointed. You really are talented though and I just had to tell you how much I loved it. It's kind of bittersweet because it's of course the best ever to read a book you really love but then I worry about the next one living up for me, you know? I read Home Wrecker and Keyshia And Clyde by Treasure E. Blue back to back and loved them both so now I'm scared to pick anything else up! LOL Thanks for the book!


message 12: by Eva

Eva Leger I will most definitely be there Dec. 6th! I'm not too far from there at all and either DE. doesn't get many authors or I never hear about them coming because you'll be my first! :) I just saw that you also wrote Around The Way Girls which I loved, can't wait to read the rest of those also. I'm starting Homewrecker next though and I'll let you know what I think! Are you working on anything else?
