The Wait is Over

Finally after weeks of anticipation, A Delight Before Christmas has been released! Yeah! I received my copies last week and all I can say is, "Wow!" The web photos don't do the cover justice. The red is vivid and the man is sexual as hell! This marks my eleventh release and it is a wonderful feeling. I remember looking forward to making it to number three and here I am well on my way. 2006 has been a fabulous year with three releases and A Delight Before Christmas is just in time for the holiday. It will make a wonderful stocking stuffer if I say so myself. Readers have been asking for years for love stories about regular folks. Well this story is exactly that. Reginald is a maintenance man sporting cornrows, low riding jeans and Timberland boots. Oh yeah, and he's wearing the hell out of them boots. Reginald is everything Berlin doesn't want in a man, yet she can't seem to resist this sexy, chocolate dipped brotha. Mmm, Mmm, Mmm. Get ready for a delicious treat.

A Little Me Time

I'm almost done with an anthology coming out next summer. I woke of this morning and decided instead of opening the file, I'm going to take some time out for me today. I spend my days writing and my evening working my part time job as an adult education supervisor that I barely ever get to clean house or just read a book for enjoyment. Well, today is that day. I slept late this morning then woke up and listened to some soft R&B while I stared out my window. I live on a wooded cul-de-sac which is really nice. When I finally rolled out of bed I typed a few letters I've been dying to write and got them out just before the mailman arrived. Then I moved into the bathroom and took a long bubble bath while flipping through the last three Essence Magasines. It was really nice and so long overdue. Now I'm on my way out to treat myself to lunch and I just might get my nails done as well. After all today is all about me.

Snakes in the grass

It's just a shame how someone can try to get over on someone else. It's one thing to know you're wrong and admit to it and try to make amends, but it's another thing all together when a person knows there wrong and gets pissed off when it's brought to the light. Those type of people drive me crazy because they think they are smarter than everybody else. When they get caught in a lie they even try to twist the story around to make you look bad. It's crazy! Those are the type of people I try not to associate myself with for obvious reasons.

Burning The Midnight Oil

I have been hard at work on my next mainstream novel for 2007. With sequels you always try to make the second just as good if not better than the first. So the pressure is on. The kids go back to school on Wednesday, which means the house will be quiet during the day. Now I'll just have to find a way to stay away from my bedroom. I love spending the day curled up in the bed, sleeping late and reading. I definitely don't have much time for that these days Some of us do well under pressure but sometime deadlines caused us to make a lot of unnecessary mistakes and to produce substandard work. I liked to hear how others handle under pressure.

Feenin'

Finally! Today I mailed my anthology Take Me that I have since renamed Feenin. The title is much more appropriate for what I have written. My mouth still drops wide open when I think about some of the stuff I put in that book. The mind is definitely a powerful tool. I'm writing for a house that says anything goes, so I'm putting my foot to the floor. I am currently working on my next mainstream manuscript, which is due Sept 1 (ain't gonna happen) and sex keeps popping up in my head. OOh! Kayla needs some. Okay, now you've got to let Danielle get her freak on, and most definitely you can not forget about Renee's trifling ass. Trouble Loves Company is turning out to be a lot of fun. I'm letting my imagination run wide with this story. I'll probably drop my head and hide later but I believe in living for the moment. Life is just too short. Things that I can't get away with I allow the characters in my book to do. haha! I guess you can say there is a little of me in all of them.

A Freak At Heart.

I have just finished Take Me and I must say I had a ball writing my first erotic anthology. I got to use every word out there and had those two screwing like rabbits. It was hilarious because I get to fulfilled all my sexual fantasies in a book and even got to use the word FUCK as a verb. Hallelujah! The only downside was that when they were bumping and grinding I had to pause long enough to put on a damn condom. Okay, I know with as many disease as we have out here we need to be promoting safe sex, but damn it kills the moment. It's like watching a mystery and as soon as you're about to find out whodunit the phone rings. Damn! Anyway it took two weeks to write and I had fun using my imagination. Just wait until you read what they did on that airplane. Oooh-weee! LOL! Anyway get ready for A Delight Before Xmas. Hot story but no words beginning with P or F so for you that are offended by those, you don't have to worry. This book will be a treat just in time for the holiday. Word of advice...get the whip cream ready cause you about to learn some thangs!

Freaky Deaky -- Now the truth comes out

It's funny because I never thought of myself as a romance author yet I'm writing it. Now somehow I have gotten into the market of writing erotic fiction and I am loving the shit. In the last year erotica has become one of the hottest selling books because it give women the fantasy and the orgasms they ain't getting at home! Those stories allows me to live that fantasy and it is so much fun it is amazing. I just finished a full length erotica for Parker Publishing slotted for the Christmas season and have just landed on an anthology with another crazy ass author by the name of Kimberly Kaye Terry. Horny is probably the best way to describe her cause it definitely shows in her writing. But don't hate, participate. We're teaming up along with Lisa Riley to do a sizzling book for 2007. I can't wait. I'm writing this story and loving everything about it because I get to control the man and do everything I would love to have happen to me. I sitting hear laughing my ass off. Drunk as a skunk cause you know I wouldn''t be writing this if I wasn't. I already have two other erotic tales in my head just ready to come out and play. How about a little sucking, licking, you want it. I got it. Many will be appalled while others applaud.

Now what?

I can't believe it, after weeks of stressing over a book that I didn't think I'd ever get down it's finished! I couldn't wait. As soon as I sent it off I said to myself my editor is gonna hate it because I felt like I wasn't writing for me I was once against writing against a deadline. So after not hearing from her for a week I just had to call becaue the suspense was kiling me and guess what, she actually loved it and thinks it's some of my best work. go figure. So I went and treated myself to my favorite restaurant Outback Steakhouse. The next day I received revisions for my september release which I put in the mail today. Hoorah! now I am lying across my bed watching every DVD I've bought in the last three months and haven't had the opportunity to watch. now that I have watched the last movie I find myself wondering what next? it's crazy. my house is a mess. I've neglected my kids for months and yet I am feeling disconnected and totally at a loss as to what to do next. call it crazy. I call it trying to find a way to return to reality after living in fantasy for three months. hopefully I'll get together by friday.

Maybe Florida Will Motivate Me!

In ten hours I will be heading to the airport and be on my way to Dayton Beach. I'm so excited I can't contain myself. Something about Florida always does that to me. I don't know if it's the palm trees, the ocean breeze, or the tranquil ocean, but whatever it is, I love it and can't ever seem to get enough of it. Some day, somehow I am going to buy me a house on the beach. I don't care if I'm 70 when it finally happens. Hopefully this trip will inspire me to finish this book. I still have 100 pages to edit and two weeks to do it! Why has it been so hard????

Nineteen Days and Counting

Well, it's been almost a month since the last time I've posted anything. Alot has happened in the last month. More things than I can begin to explain. Lots of time spent flying up and down the highway. With a new book I'm trying to get out there a little more even though it means I have less time to write. One positive thing is that I am starting to flow on this book. Which is about doggone time since I have less than three weeks to go. The pressure is on and that is usually when I do my best work. Remember I said usually. I started editing page 85 this morning, which means I'm about one third into the book. Okay, enough said. I'm getting back to work. until next week.

Still Feeling Lazy

Okay, I am up trying again to get some work done. I spent the last two days in KC visiting the Negro League Baseball and Jazz Museum, and just hanging out. Now that I've lost two days I'll have to try and make up the lost time. All right, here goes. I'm going upstairs to make myself a cup of coffee and a bowl of oatmeal and then I am going to get the ball rolling. you'll see. Man, why does it have to be such a bright sunny day outside?

Can't seem to stay awake

You ever have one of those days when you don't feel like doing anything? Well that's me today. All I want to do is sleep, read, and eat popcorn. Lord knows as wide as these hips are getting, popcorn is the last thing I need! What I should do is go to the gym or pull out one of those dust covered Taebo tapes. I'm sure Billy Blanks is shaking his head. I've got a book due in 30 days and have 30,000 words to go. that's one thousand words a day. But instead of working I am staring out the window and setting up my blog. I've been talking about doing this for weeks. Well, at least I have finally done it. Now if I could just find the words to begin my next chapter. Oops! Time to make dinner. I guess I'll try again tomorrow.
