How my life inspired Lands End
Goddess, I’ve been putting this off for waaay too long, but whatevs. It seems to be the perfect time because “Tenderness” by General Public came on the tribe’s playlist. Yes! The tribe is very real and based on my amazing group of strong female friends. This book is actually inspired by the opening scene--aka--chapter one—the conversation in the car, the jam-packed traffic. Since I’ve lived in the bay area my entire life, I know tons of different shortcuts, so I can make record time pretty much anywhere I go. However, that night traffic was AWFUL! There were like five different accidents, even the shortcuts were backed up since everyone’s GPS rerouted them. That holiday party was by far one of the most fun parties I’ve gone to in my entire life. My sis and I talk about it all the time. And now it lives on in this book.
While Eileen and Alta’s are fictional characters, and their romance is all fantasy derived from my brain, I put a lot of myself into their world. The New Year’s Eve party was based on classic get-togethers with the tribe and me. Yes, we call our group the “tribe.” Eileen has quite a few of my traits. How she speaks, acts, reacts. The unconditional love she holds for Alta.
All relationships have their issues. What I always bring to my books, no matter the genre, are realistic aspects when it comes to relationships. Look, I’m a romantic just like everyone else. However, I do believe in being realistic and find something magical in people being able to survive the hard times together. To me, when a couple can make it overall their issues and come out the other side stronger than ever and more in love… Ugh, that is so romantic.
Those of you that have read all of my books know that I likes the drama. Just look at The Secret Life Series--LOL! When I wrote that series, I literally thought to myself, “I want to write the most dysfunctional couple and make their love something actually desirable.” Well, fictionally desirable. Would I want that in my real life? Hell No!
As many know, I looooves music. This book was heavily inspired by 80s and 90s hits. My writing process, with pretty much anything I work on, is to sit down and listen to music that fits in the scene. I mean, I think of my life as a soundtrack. For example, I made a soundtrack explaining the last three months of my life it would consist of the following songs:
“One Less Bell To Answer,” The Fifth Dimensions
“Baby Love,” The Supremes
“Walk On By,” Dionne Warwick (and) “Walk On By,” Isaac Hayes (THE TWELVE MINUTE ONE. While based on the same song, they offer two totally different experiences.)
“I Just Don’t Want To Be Lonely,” Marcia Griffiths
“Just Sayin/I Tried,” The Internet
“Yes I’m Changing,” Tame Impala
“Boogie Wonderland,” Earth Wind and Fire (This one is always a part of my life. Sometimes you just need to forget life and dance. I mean just look at those lyrics. So powerful!)
Okay, so based on those songs I just listed, I bet anyone could figure out what I’ve been going through. I’m sure you can come up with a billion different stories of what my life has looked like just by those songs alone. That’s pretty much how I create my art.
My novels are my art. I am an artist just like anyone else that sits down and writes or paints or makes a movie, etc. What I love about this book is that I was able to really convey parts of myself that are written between the lines. All of my novels have a bit of me in them. A Trip to Paris, my next book I have coming out explores aspects of my spirituality and what I faced when trying to become a model years ago. I’ll eventually make a blog about that.
Alta, on the other hand, is probably my polar opposite. Her character was inspired when I substituted at a Jewish school. It was an amazing and eye-opening experience for me. Made me want to learn more about the Jewish faith and what their prayers translated to. When I worked at the school, they started the day off with prayer. It was so beautiful to listen to. I found myself arriving early just so I could hear it. The kiddos I worked with were so sweet. The people were beyond welcoming and made me instantly feel at home. Overall, it was a lovely experience that opened my eyes to things I was ignorant of. Like Alta, I wanted to open her eyes to things she was ignorant of as well, which you read about in the book.
The inspiration for this book is so personal to me, which is most likely why it took me so long to write this out. This is also why it was written in the first person. I love writing in first-person because I can create a train of consciousness that--in my personal opinion--makes it easier to understand the character’s personality. I always say, if you see something that is not grammatically correct, really look at the context in how it was written. Who is saying it? Is it said multiple times by the same person? If so, then it is most likely a character trait. How that person talks and thinks. Or it could just be a grammatical mistake. I personally don’t mind them that much and enjoy reading things that aren’t perfect, which is why I leave mistakes that I catch or put them in on purpose… i.e., The Secret Life of a Housewife. However, sometimes it even bothers me, i.e., Audra: Vol. 1. I wrote that in a month and didn’t think everything through. Based on a dream, I wanted it to have a dreamy feel. I wanted it to make the reader unsure of certain things. However, I’m in the process of changing a few grammatical things.
One of my favorite authors said that their books go through many different changes. As an author, I now understand exactly what they meant by that. As for now, I believe Lands End--also notice how I spelled the title. It is not the grammatically correct way to spell it, and there is a reason for that… Anyways, as for now, I love Lands Ends the story it portrays and the message it sends out.

Joyce Carefield--Maiden name Blaine (SLHW)
*The blog post contains spoilers. Don't read if you have not read the novel yet.*
I've always had this strange attraction to trains. To me, they have always symbolized freedom. When I was younger, I'd fantasize about hopping aboard a train and head to wherever the line took me. If I had to compare myself to any character I have written, I'd definitely say my personality best resembles that of Joyce.
Ever since I could remember, I had to be free. This life never made me feel freedom. If anything I always felt like I had to fit into what society pictured I would be. A black girl growing up in a majority white community, I had no clue who I was supposed to be. Nothing made sense to me. The world didn't make sense to me. All I ever wanted to do was run wild. My spirit yearned for it. Joyce also could not find her footing in this world that she never wished for.
It took me a while to figure Joyce out. I never truly understood her story until I figured out my own. Now, I'm only twenty-five and have years to continue finding myself, yet I had to strip pressure of fulfilling who I should be by societal norms. Once I removed myself of all the responsibilities forced on me by the world and found my freedom, I was finally able to figure out Joyce's story.
What I found just about broke my heart.
Every day we put up a front to the world of who we are. For Joyce, she pretended to be that perfect wife and mother, yet she never was those things. They did not define who she was. Never could she find fulfillment in her role within society. In affairs and partying, Joyce was able to find momentary freedom that she needed to save her life.
As an artist, I get it. Before falling in love with her wife, Joyce had a promising future as a painter. This identity was lost over the years in the life she ended up building with Lisa. With a wife as powerful as Lisa, it's so easy to lose yourself to the strains that come with living under her shadow. Joyce stopped painting, which of course added to the pain that she started to feel when her marriage began going down the drain.
Granted, Joyce did warn Lisa that this would happen, but that’s to be discussed in another story...
When you first meet Joyce, she is in the tipping point of her marriage. The strains have been set in place for years by this point, and when her daughter comes home pregnant, Joyce snaps. Her behavior during this time seems like something a person in their twenties would be guilty of, not someone in their forties. However, Joyce finds herself backtracking a lot. Her rock bottom, of course, comes when she ends up blacking out and sleeping with a disgusting man.
Most would think by this point, her marriage is over, how can Lisa take her back, etc. Believe me when I say, nothing is as it seems. In fact, this entire novel tells literally twenty-percent of the story, maybe even less. Joyce is infamous for lying. She's lied to her wife, kids, friends, what makes you believe she isn't lying to you? Surprisingly, Lisa's a bit more forthcoming and holds pretty much all the answers because she knows everything.
By part three, everything starts to become a bit clearer. Joyce loses a considerable part of herself, which forces Lisa to have to let her go. After all, Lisa was the entire reason she hadn't left years ago.
By this point, it's clear that their love is eternal, I mean they survived a hell of a lot. But even then, Joyce had to find herself outside of her wife's shadow. So, she hopped a train and headed north, like she always wanted to do.
My way of finding freedom was hitting the publish button for each and every one of my works. From sitting in front of my computer or notepad and becoming lost in a completely different world. Now I ask, what's your form of freedom?
Joyce fell back in love with herself, the real her, not the barbie she was forced to be. But was it too late? Only Lisa has the answers to that. Find out more September 27, pre-order available now.
XOXO,

SLHW: Everything there is to know
One mid-August hot summer night back in 2016, I was tossing and turning trying to fall asleep but failing due to that stupid disease, insomnia. Not entirely sure if it is indeed a disease, but let’s just pretend it is. Anyways, I lacked sleep, so I laid back and started counting sheep. As the fluffy white pillows, that I presume are animals, were passing me by I had a sudden character come to me like a dream, Joyce. Of course, her name was not Joyce at the time, she was merely a wealthy housewife married to another wife that made her a little crazy.
I started writing her story right away…
Okay, that’s a lie. I fell asleep, woke up, brushed my teeth, ate something and then I wrote the entry to SLHW. Joyce’s personality, at first, came out as an outgoing, spontaneous, funny, fun person. However, there was also this side of her that was dark, she was clearly depressed and lonely and trapped. While Joyce’s personality grew becoming more complex over the progression of her story, I still had a feeling that something wasn’t right. She was too vain, too all over the place, and not like the woman I saw in my dream. So, I decided to write a short intro for Joyce’s novel in the perspective of Lisa; just to give Joyce’s world a bit more back story. However, Lisa’s little intro turned out to be the exact thing needed to fill in the gaps that were in Joyce’s life.
With a new perspective in the mix, the entire story as a whole started to come together. Lisa’s view made it easier to build on Joyce’s personality and reasoning behind her actions. The fact of the matter is that Joyce is a very complex character. She loves Lisa, obviously, but she also loves herself--a lot. Joyce’s actions can be a bit difficult to understand without reading the sequel which will be released September of 2019, stay tuned for more details there.
This novel and the sequel both follow a timeline that is important to the understanding of the series, so I have provided a timeline to this blog. Also, enjoy the song list. Make sure to subscribe to my website and follow me on Instagram. I will be updating with more information on the sequel as well as a few other novels I am working on at the moment.
Stay tuned!

The Road to Recovery
One of my favorite beaches, in the world, is a forty-five-minute drive from me in Half Moon Bay CA. I love this beach for many different reasons, but the number one thing I've fallen for is the surf. The waves are insanely large all year round, and while I don't actually surf, I love watching the surfers! The greatest thing about a beach with high surf is that there are always surfers. It was this location that inspired Joy and Noelani's home in part one and two of the novel. After spending a day at the beach, I found it easier to sit down and write the story.
I was driving to San Francisco the other day, on my way to my friends Pussy Power Party, and suddenly traffic came to a complete stop. It wasn't rush hour traffic or a car crash, so my automatic thought was "street show!" A part of California that not many outsiders know is that of underground street racing. This consists of: illegal racing, slide shows demonstrations, car shows, etc. The Bay Area "Hyphy" movement really brought light to slide show demonstrations and the racing scene that was already a part of California culture. Having Noelani as a part of this culture was an excellent way to show a part of California culture that isn't talked about much.
Music was also a huge inspiration for writing the novel. In fact, most of the scenes were written inspired by a song on the song list. An example of this is Billie Holiday's "I'll Be Seeing You." I must have listened to that song at least ten times as I wrote the scene between Noelani and Joy. I mentioned the song in that section because Joy was listening to the song at that time. However, I did not say all the songs that inspired me in the story, so I listed them here. I love music and highly suggest you look up any songs that you have not heard before. Enjoy!

Audra: Here she comes.
Audra’s plot was based on a dream I had May 12, 2019. I had asked the universe that night for a new character that was similar to my girl Joyce from The Secret Life of a Housewife. The next morning I was scrambling to my notepad to write out what I could remember of the plot from my dream. What I came out with was what you have read today.
Originally I called the dream Homicide Squad, yet I knew the focus was on Audra, not the place that she ended up working. Of course, I had to add a murder into the mix, though. Most of what was read in the novel did come from my dream. That opening scene with Darla on the phone to the arrival of Audra on her first day coming in late; all of this was from my inner fantasy. Then I recalled Audra pushing up on Dakota, but her also having a thing for the women who originally hated her, Kamilia.
So, my consciousness remembers only about half of the dream and the rest comes from that part of my subconscious that remembers everything. Due to this, I had to inspire the story that was still so fresh, to come out of me. I inspired myself by getting stoned, I’d say I was high for over half of the construction of this novel. I recalled Audra having a particular taste in music. She listened to a lot of pop, disco, and R&B. So, I literally had to listen to certain songs over and over in order to get out certain sections. I could not listen to any rock with the exception of two songs, AC/DC “T.N.T.” and Def Leppard “Pour some sugar on me.” This was hard for me since I love--love rocking out to metal music while writing my novels.
Now the one thing I had no clue about was, how the story ended. I literally was on the last few pages and had no idea what was coming next, but knew that Audra was about to confess something big. The party spin the bottle scene was supposed to go somewhere completely different than where it did. In my planned outline, Audra was going to spend seven minutes in heaven with Kamilia. Obviously, that did not happen because the next thing I know, I’m writing that Audra was getting pissed off out of nowhere at Kamilia. That’s when I got my answer about what was wrong with Audra.
As of right now, Audra is going to be a five-part series. This, of course, can and possibly will change. I might decide to write four novels or six, I have no idea yet. However, the next two are already planned, so...yeah. Ideally, I am hoping to spread the novels out and release them every three months, however, I do have a few other works I am finishing up and starting on at the moment too, so we will see. With any regards, I am loving this series so far and am super excited for the release of Audra: Spring Fling Vol 2 that is coming out September 26, 2019.
Stay tuned,
XOXO,
