Slowly But Surely

Hello, well it has been a while, but the reports on my book selling overseas have come in  and I am very excited.  I am still working hard trying to get my name and my work out there.  It is slow going, but I will succeed.  I have contacted a few local bookstores and newspapers.  Right now I haven't heard much back, but keep your eyes and ears open. 

And for those of you who have jumped on this wild ride and supported me through purchasing my book or just giving me words of encouragement I thank you.  You are the reason I go on.

Right now I am working on getting myself out there and trying to get on with book stores and Amazon so that my book will be more available.  Please hang in there with me.  I am sure this is gonna be a learning experience and a bumpy road.

In Print

Well my book is in print and has been so for week.  Still no due date on when it hits the stores, but I do have a summary for the back cover and if I do say so myself, it will draw you in and leave you wanting more.

The Back Cover

Think Before You React - The Cover

The Cover Is In

well it is getting closer and closer and today I received the cover and it is awesome.  I will be attempting to post it here so u can enjoy it with me.  Remember June is the big month and as soon as I know the exact day so will you.

Three Books and Counting

Ok "Think Before You React will be in stores this June.  I have already completed my second book and it is just as juicy as the first.  My characters in my books are strong women facing even stronger dillemas.  What makes it interesting are the paths they choose when facing their demons.  There will be those who succeed and those who don't.  There will be those characters who are drawn to the drama and are consumed by their ill fate.

In keeping a real element to the stories, the trials they face are very real.  You may even see someone you know in my storytelling.  That friend that constantly has the man problems and the man is the problem, you know the one, or that friend that is secretly your worst enemy, you'll see that one too.  So be prepared to laugh, cry, be highly upset and even rejoice as I take you on a journey into pure urban drama.

Think Before You React

Well, it has been a journey filled with peaks and valleys.  But ladies and gentleman, Think Before You React, will be in stores in June.  I have received my final print from the publisher and I am ecstatic.  Seeing my story in print with the ISBN and the publisher's name and information acknowledging that this is my accomplishment was so thrilling that I was in tears. 

Now comes the harder part.  It is somewhat up to me to get the word out and get people on board with the stories I am telling.  Hence, I now have a blog.  Join me on this journey.  I am sure there will be ups and downs, but with the help of my true friends and fans, that I hope to attract, I am sure that I will make this a successful journey and new life's venture.
