About me

Gender Female
Industry Publishing
Occupation Writing and publishing
Location Washington, DC. - east coast, United States
Introduction I'm an individual first, friend, lover, then author. The woman I am is very much included. I've written and published 19 books and 4 anthologies with Kensington, BET and Harlequin. I had wonderful experiences with all of them, but I've wanted to self-publish for 20 years and now I'm doing just that. My next book, a romantic murder mystery laced with voodoo, comes out by or before March 2010. It's so different and I just love it, even if that does sound a little immodest. I like to consider myself a whole earth lover, but this doesn't mean I like everything. I'm a voracious reader, having begun reading at the age of three. I like the theatre, movies, TV mysteries, even the so-so ones. I listen to music much of the day - country in the morning, classical afternoons and evening. I love plants and the feel of rich black loam in my hands. I've begun to be fascinated with birds, not so much animals. The older I get, the more interesting the world becomes.
Interests Writing, publishing, marketing, songwriting, poetry, watching babies strut their stuff, positive conversations
Favorite Movies Sea of Love, the old old Rebecca, Duel In The Sun, really too many to recount.
Favorite Music Most country - Charley Pride, Barbara Mandrell, nearly all the others. So very many classical albums, anything by Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, and especially Dvorak. I also like and write pop and R&B, hymns and gospel, as well as country.
Favorite Books Holy Bible, Rebecca, The Lovely Bones, Invisible Man, really too many to list.

What did you dream when you ate a spider while sleeping?

Of throwing up.
