GO FIGURE!

I can’t seem to keep still lately. I feel like I’ve got some serious adult ADD thing going on. Sitting still and staying focused for more than ten minutes has proven to be quite a challenge for me. I just have to be moving and doing something and being home, alone, sitting still, isn’t it. I wish I could say I have an abundance of excess energy, but that’s not my problem. Truth be told I’m exhausted but I can’t seem to rest and I don’t have a clue why or what brought it on.

I’ve spent much money decorating my new townhouse and making it a home. I fancy myself to be quite the interior designer and between HGTV, Ethan Allen furniture, and every interior design book on the market my once bare space could now grace the pages of any decorating magazine. After all the time and work I’ve invested in the place you would think I’d want to hang around and stay awhile. Instead, every chance I get to go I’m gone and I’m not in much hurry to come back. Go figure.

Between now and Sunday I will be moving non-stop. I'm up to no good (well, maybe some good!) and would share the details with you but since the people I'm up to no good for read my blog I won't put it out here just yet. Monday morning however is a whole other animal and what's secret now will surely be fair game.

So, until then, my home still won't be seeing very much of me. At this rate, between mortgage and utilities, it would be much less expense to just buy myself a tent and pack my clothes into the trunk of my car!

I just finished (and loved) Tame a Wild Stallion!

So I'm checking our your blog and waving hello!

Wish someone would come decorate my house. I have AWFUL taste in that kinda stuff, so my living and dining room are still empty because I'm scared of messing 'em up.

Thank you! (Waving back!)

Just go for it. Anything messed up can easily be changed. If you can paint and like color go for it. One of my favorite things to do is roam decorating books and magazines and then "copy" a room look that I absolutely love. What's most important though is that you have fun with it! Good luck!

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

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. ENJOY this excerpt and please, PRE-ORDER your copy today! Romeo Marshall is over six feet of cool, smooth, hot, southern seductiveness--just like the music at his popular Raleigh club, The Playground Jazz and Blues Bar. With his beloved mother gone and no father he's ever known, the business is Romeo's everything. 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. There's something about high-powered, down-to-the earth Taryn Williams that captures Romeo's attention like no other woman has. Yet unanswered questions from his past s

TREYVON MARTIN

Seventeen-year old Treyvon Martin was walking back from a convenience store to his father's home, when he was allegedly accosted and shot dead by a community watch captain.   Heading home put him in a “gated” community where he clearly wasn’t welcomed.   Treyvon was black and his presence in that “gated” community was a source of consternation for the man who shot him dead as evidenced by the 911 telephone call that was made just minutes prior to the deadly shooting. The media reports that George Zimmerman, a white man, called for police assistance, reporting that Treyvon was “a suspicious person".   Despite being advised by the 911 dispatcher to not follow the young man and to wait for police, Zimmerman felt that he had the authority to approach and confront Treyvon instead.   That confrontation has now left a family to bury a child who once had a bright and promising future. The central Florida police have yet to levy any charges against Zimmerman and it is unlike
