| Interests | My first novel Love in a Carry-On Handbag is due in store soons. Here's a peak. Erica Shaw, publicity manager for a leading publishing company in New York City, is driven to become one of the top African-American women in publishing and to overcome her family’s legacy of “chasing away welfare blues with cans of Colt 45, prescription pills, and number-running.” Her boyfriend, Warren Prince, is a sexy-lipped trumpet player who lives in D.C., where he works as a computer engineer. Their connection is fierce, and after a year of intense weekend dating, it’s time to close the distance. Warren opts to move, but then his overbearing father and a lucrative contract keep him D.C.-bound. Erica’s past surfaces when her alcoholic mother calls with trouble. Then her impending promotion at work causes her to miss a string of weekends. Arguments escalate and real life takes its toll, while lovers wait in the wings—for both of them. |
