BLIND FOR SOME DICK

Miranda’s not seeing straight. In fact, her vision is so skewed it’s a wonder she hasn’t been declared legally blind. She blames everyone else for her bad choices and girlfriend has made some seriously bad choices. The first penis that broke her heart left her with a child and no support. She was only sixteen at the time. He was well in his late twenties. I’m still wondering why he didn’t do some quality time in a state penitentiary since she was fourteen when they first became involved, but I’ll leave that alone. For now.

Penis #2 came via an Internet connection. He had her instant messaging so fast that she lost her mind, moving herself to West Virginia to claim her a man. She left her child behind for someone else to raise, so not only did her baby lose his worthless daddy but his mother as well. But hey, love requires sacrifice, or at least that’s what Miranda would have us all believe. Wasn’t until she became pregnant with baby #2 that she admitted her sacrifice came at penis #2’s insistence. He wasn’t interested in being no baby’s daddy, not even the baby he’d donated sperm for.

But giving credit where credit might be due, penis #2 stepped up to the plate once little junior was born. Actually got a job, paid some bills and plotted out a future for his new family, minus baby #1, of course. Now at this point, Miranda’s vision had begun to seriously blur, focus drifting in and out. Desperate for something yet to be identified, she took up with penis #3, a penis who was broke, unemployed, and disabled but apparently still able to rise to the occasion.

Miranda apparently had the bigger set of balls when she moved penis #3 in with her and penis #2, the trio living amicably together. Apparently Miranda wasn’t lacking penis because it didn’t take long before baby #3 arrived kicking and screaming for some attention. Penis #3 claimed the child, moving Miranda and her two youngest babies from one end of the US of A to the other. Baby #1 was still left wondering whatever happened to his mommy and his daddy.

Miranda sees nothing wrong with the direction she’s taken herself in. All’s well in her small world because she’s got herself a penis who’s serving her well. Miranda can’t understand why her folks are having a problem with her and her issues. Asking my opinion didn’t help her much either. I recommended she get herself some new glasses so she can see straight. Miranda wasn’t interested in hearing that she needed to grow the hell up and act like a woman with an ounce of sense. She’s only twenty-four and she needs to get herself together before she’ll ever find herself a real man. She’s made penis her first priority though and all else is damned. She needs to think about her children and let all that penis go, but dick’s got Miranda so blind she just can’t see it.

Baby #1 may be better off without her.

I feel sorry for Baby's #2 & #3.

It would make a good title, Monica!

Baby #1 is thriving. Unfortunately I can't say the same for his siblings.

I admit the photo caught my eye. Now that I've read the accompanying blog entry, I shudder to think at how many Mirandas there are in the country.

DAMMIT, DO BETTER!

I love reading. I get excited when I discover a new author or find an outstanding story. I’m eager to leave reviews and share with others my new finds. When a book or story is lackluster, leaving me less than thrilled, I usually remain silent. I know the effort that an author has put into a story. I know how hurtful a bad review can be. It is not for me to dash anyone else’s dream because what I might not have liked, someone else may have loved. Recently I read books that left me disappointed, and angry. One was an award-winning title, the author gleefully claiming a coveted statue for her efforts. Clearly what I hated, others found award-worthy. And that actually scares me. The story was as well-written as any other in the genre. Its formulaic plot hit all the buttons that her publisher required. But as a woman of color, I found it as insulting and as distasteful as any story I have ever read. The story featured a Native American heroine. She had self-esteem issues, co...

THANK YOU AND GOODBYE FOR NOW!

I remember when I first started this blog. It was 19-years ago and I anxiously anticipated it running on forever and ever. Because I loved to write, I never imagined that there would come a time when I wouldn't have something to say or want to tell you a story. The influx of social media has changed the dynamics of what happens here. And for that reason, I believe the time has come for me to say goodbye to my "blog". But not whole-heartedly goodbye. Just arrivederci  and adios to what I do, or rather, haven't done in some time, in this particular space.  I will continue to write. Writing is in my DNA. Writing is my super-power and I'm not letting that go just yet. I'll still be all over social media trying to leave a small footprint in this vast, wide world. You'll still be able to find me on FACEBOOK , INSTAGRAM , THREADS , TIKTOK , and now the newbies, BLUESKY and SUBSTACKS . I'm still treading cautiously as I find my way but I'm hopeful someth...

Available from Dafina books on February 24, 2015, wherever books are sold, PLAYING WITH FIRE is the first in my two-book Sultry Southern Nights series.

It's a place where anything can happen--and the evening one gorgeous young woman and one intriguing old musician walk into the bar--and into Romeo's life--it does.
