💖 March is Developmental Disabilities Month. Here’s a list of romances that offer representation.📚

Happy Friday!
How has your week been?
The month of March is already winding down. But I wanted to highlight that March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. One of the things I take very seriously as an author is the privilege and honor of offering representation to readers of all kind who, like me perhaps, didn’t see themselves in the pages of a book when they were growing up.
Maybe it’s because they were Black or plus-sized or dark-skinned. Maybe ...

Happy Friday!
How has your week been? I hope you were able to find moments of peace and joy despite the chaos of life in these unprecedented times. Because rest is an act of resistance. (More about this here.) One of the things bringing me joy today is the first anniversary of the launch of my first indie series: The Love & Music Suite.
This friends-to-lovers, second chance romance series is set in Atlanta, Georgia and follows the romantic and career adventures of music industry celeb...

Rest is an Act of Resistance

Happy Friday, all!
How are you doing? No, I mean…really. How are you doing, babes?
I recently saw a post on Threads where a reader asked how other people were able to read, write, and talk about books when the world is on fire. (I couldn’t find the original post, I’m sorry!) It wasn’t a criticism. It was a legitimate question. One I completely sympathize with as a person who’s been stressed and finding it difficult to sleep lately. But what I’ve also come to realize is that rest and se...

Happy Valentine’s Day!
How has your week been? I hope that regardless of how hectic your life might be that you were able to find moments of peace and joy. This week, I let go of all the stressors in my life for a couple of days as my husband and I took a short road trip to Winston-Salem for my chat with Tia Williams.
It’s a little less than a two-hour drive. But something about just hanging out together and not worrying about anything or anyone else was truly spec...

Three songs from the MORE THAN FRIENDS playlist I’m obsessed with!

How was your week? Mine was a bit up and down. I spent a lot of downtime enjoying my snow days by mostly hanging out in bed and reading or bingeing television. That tiny voice in the back of my head reminded me that I have books to plot and write. Still, it was nice giving myself a small break between writing More Than Friends and the super secret project I’m working on next.
How was your weather this past week? Did you do something fun? Let me know here.
