RAWSISTAZ Black Book Chat with JaNese Dixon about Black Diamond

Tomorrow is the day. Bum...bum...bum... (I hope you can hear my soundtrack.)

I gave advance reader copies of Black Diamond to the members of RAWSISTAZ. Tomorrow I will chat with the readers throughout the day. I must admit...I'm nervous. My mind is swirling with a million "what if" questions...

[image error] Sleep? What's that?

I think the title says it all. Releasing two books back-to-back is insane. I think I can effectively hold a conversation in my sleep. (smile) But there is so much more to do.

This weekend I'm kicking off a Juneteenth parade in Austin, TX. I've also be asked to speak on camera. I'm crossing my fingers hoping that the clip will be used during the evening news.
