The Freebie...

Ladies, have you ever been at the bar, ordered your drink, then have a man pop up and offer to pay for it without asking if you wanted him to? Do you accept, or say no? Excerpt: Ebony After securing a spot near the front of the stage, I raised my hands in the air and began to dance. For the first time in months, I forgot about books, the stress of my internship at the zoo, and work at the clinic. I closed my eyes and got lost in the music, letting it guide my body in sensual movements while telegraphing my desire, hoping the drummer would notice my body language. The song ended, and I opened my eyes to cheer with the rest of the crowd. I was noticed all right. Various men in my immediate vicinity threw out catcalls and whistles, which were flattering, but the drummer paid me no attention. In fact, only one of the band members seemed to notice me. One of the guitar players watched me intently. Astonished, I nearly stumbled in my heels. He was attractive but… he was white, not what I was aiming for. My lips tilted in a small smile before I moved out of his line of sight, placing myself in front of dancers who’d moved closer to the stage, blocking my view of the drummer. The next song played, and again, I tried to get lost in the music. My eyes closed, it was impossible to find my groove again without feeling stalked. The hair on the back of my neck stood up. My gaze traveled the length of the stage, to the guitar player, who once again, watched me with a predatory gleam. When the song ended, I worked my way back to the bar. Neither Yasmine nor Kaitlyn were there. They must have gone to the bathroom. “What can I get you, miss?” the bartender asked, interrupting my thoughts. After the MC announced the band was taking a brief intermission, music blasted from the speakers again. “Margarita, extra shot of tequila, please.” The bartender nodded and went to fill my order. “Did you get a load of the blond guitar player? He’s hot!” My attention turned to a busty brunette who’d taken up residence in the empty seat next to me. I recognized her as being one of the women who’d been dancing next to me. She adjusted her boobs, primping while talking to her friend. “He doesn’t know it yet, but I’m going home with him tonight,” she continued. Her friend giggled. Good luck. She had a better chance than I did of finding a man tonight. “Here you go.” The bartender placed a napkin in front of me with my drink. “I’ve got this,” a deep voice said close to my ear, making me jump. It was incredibly sexy despite the fact it scared me. It also sent a warm tingle down my spine. Intrigued, I turned and found myself face-to-face with the guitar player. The same one my barstool neighbor wanted to go home with. Any sort of coherent words failed me. #### - From A Heart Not Easily Broken (A Butterfly Memoir), Chapter 1 Ebony Campbell is a smart, sexy career-oriented black woman who wants nothing more than a summer fling with a man who challenges her mind and body.

I'd like to say “I'm back!” but that wouldn’t be completely true...

It's hard to believe that in a few weeks it will be 2019! There were many things I wanted to do during 2018, but honestly...I wasn't ready. This year has been an eye-opening one—personally and as an author. I've had emotional breakdowns that have left me ragged and questioning myself about many things. I've lost several family members...the hardest one being my mother in August. Her death literally took me down. My father passed away when I was ten years old, and I'm an only child, so losing...

It has also been a privilege to introduce some very talented composers who have written some amazing songs as well. In fact, my next few blogs will be dedicated to the writers who have taken the time to sit down and open up about their writing process while sharing a bottle of wine.

Take a moment to get to know Kenni York, who was the first author to sit down with me!
