Urban Stories of Romance and Suspense






I'm proud to announce that my second book "The Trouble With Change" is an Award-Winning Finalist in the "Fiction: Chick Lit/Women's Lit" category of the 2011 International Book Awards and “Best Book in the Women’s Literature category of the 2011 Pinnacle Book Achievement Awards”. Below is a brief description of my books.

Checkered Fences is a romance about a high school student, Diane Jones, who dreams of her independence and becoming the first in her family to complete college by hard work and study. However, Diane’s old fashion father has other plans for Diane and insists it’s time for her to marry, which Diane vows never to do. Expectations change when affluent and handsome David Shaw comes into Diane’s life and pursues her. Can love defy family traditions and survive?

The Trouble With Change is a suspenseful crime story about a college student, Sondra Taylor, who dreams of being the first in her family to graduate from college. With little money in her pocket, and a meager scholarship to school in the city, she sets out against the odds to do so. Between temp jobs and her dwindling saving, she is barely scraping by and Sondra can hardly afford to eat when she meets the charismatic and generous Vick, but he is not what he seems.


These books are based upon my personal experiences throughout my life and address issues such as interracial romance, struggle, pro-choice, domestic violence, and spousal abuse. So give them a read and tell me your thoughts. I have also attached links below to read the first two chapters for free. Enjoy.
