What's going on
I know I have not been posting much...sorry...life has been a little bit hectic for me these last few weeks. But hectic in a good way!
I've been reading and signing Glorious at various venues and am trying hard to switch hats from marketing and publicity maverick back to writer.
My muse has returned, but we're having a difficult time reconnecting. Sometimes that happens with long absences.
The good news is, Glorious has gone onto its second printing! Thanks to all of you who purchased copies!

Shame on ARIZONA!
No matter what you call it...how you flip it..or even try to rationalize it Arizona's new immigration law is RACIAL PROFILING! Author, Tayari Jones is boycotting Arizona and I'm with her 110%

Six Flags disqualified not one, but two Maryland women from employment candidacy for sporting their natural hair. According to ABC 7 News, who obtained a copy of Six Flags' outdated corporate grooming standards for employees, the company does not permit "any hairstyle t...

May Happenings!
Two days left before the OFFICIAL publication of GLORIOUS!
The first week a book is on sale is as important as opening weekend for movies. I need to sell as many books as possible between May 1st and May 7th in order to make the industry to take notice!
Ten years ago when Sugar was published I made the New York Post Bestsellers List...and so it would be a real treat if this time I around I made the New York Times Bestsellers List. *wink*

Glorious Monday!
We are just FIVE days away from the official release of GLORIOUS!
Last week Ron Kavanaugh of Mosaic Books came to my home to videotape me reading from Glorious. I read from the prologue which describes in part, The Fight of The Century between Jack Johnson and James Jefferies, which took place in Nevada in 1910.
I love the way Ron put this together because for a few seconds my voice is laid over a black and white film clip of the actual fight!

Happy Gratitude Day!
Back in the day when things were finanically sound for me, I would always have a new photograph done to accompany each new book I released. For the most part I paid out of pocket for these photographs.
Last year though, I could not afford to do so, and it just didn't seem right to have a new book with an old photo. Bad Mojo. Around this time My brother from another mother, fellow Libra: Man, Dad, Husband: Eric Payne had begun to explore yet another artist...
