#Random R&B Songs with a Number in Them

Put this under #RandomNerissa! I noticed lately that a few of the songs in my rotation all have numbers of some sort in the title. So that got me thinking about how often numbers are used in songs and in R&B in particular. A quick Google search showed my question is clearly not original but […]

Goodreads Challenge – Book 3

This is the third year I am doing the GoodReads Book Challenge. My goal is 100 books. Can be a bit tricky when I am also writing but we will see how I do. This is the 2nd book I’m reading for the year, the first was Gabriel Union’s We’re Gonna Need More Wine. Summary […]

Listen More

I should know this. The answers aren’t going to be written across the sky or found in the passage I coincidentally find in the bible. You may get one of those coincidences in your lifetime. The answer is right there inside of me but I won’t get quiet long enough to hear it. There’s always […]

In Plain Sight Tackles Human Trafficking in the Caribbean

In Plain Sight is a departure from book one in the Return to Love series but how else could I tell Dane’s story without making sure he got to put all of his special forces and police training to good use. I also tackle a very serious topic in the book. Human trafficking is not […]

Read 31 Days of YES to Start Your Year Right

We connected ironically because we have the same first name, a few mutual friends and our Caribbean heritage. But what I love about Nerissa Street is her practical take on life and her determination to teach others to Be Your Own Answer. This reminded me of my Be Your Own Hero mantra. Neri (that’s my […]

One Word of Code Changes Everything

All I wanted to do was adjust the format of the completed manuscript for In Plain Sight so I could upload it to amazon for the Kindle store. It should have been an easy fix, no more than half an hour of work, if that much. However, it took me most of the day to […]

Vote for My Book and Other Caribbean Romance Writers

So Caribbean authors need to do some work to build up their visibility online. I’ve create a list on Goodreads for Romance Writers of the Caribbean but it really is slim. Can you help me by adding the names of Caribbean authors who write romance? If we really don’t know who and where they are […]

Writing Soundtrack for In Plain Sight

I discovered about 10 years ago that country music is the perfect soundtrack to write to. Yes there are times when I want total silence, at other times I need some music in the background. Don’t ask me why country does the trick but I won’t stop the flow to figure out the reason. It […]
