I Missed You!


Hey Bookish Boo!

I missed you. It's been a minute in a half since we last connected, but I am so glad to see you! Let's see... what happened that I didn't get a chance to tell you...

I got to hang out with one of my favorite authors - Tiffany Patterson THE Tiffany Patterson, creator of the Townsends of Williamsport and the Black Burlesque series!

She invited me, ME, little ol' me to do a TikTok live where we talked about books, the book community, and our writing habits etc. It was AWESOME! I only went total fangirl once... on camera. If you missed it, we'll do another talk in July - I'll keep you updated.

Monday night I chatted up the hilarious sisters of Sip Then Read (Nikki and Syreeta) on Instagram Live for their Up Late book chat. We talked for two hours. We had a blast. Shenanigans were had. I was hoarse the next morning and my cheeks hurt from laughing.

In other news, Chaser hit (and passed) 100 reviews on Amazon! This book hit that review milestone so much faster than Heartbeat. AND Heartbeat hit 500 reviews today on its anniversary!

I'm excited about the growth of the series and the reception of Chaser. Speaking of Chaser, I think it's time for a Zoom book discussion with me and a special guest host (who I can't reveal just yet)! If you are interested in joining the book discussion keep an eye out here for dates.

Have an awesome evening.

Hugs and Cheers,

They say the best things come when you least expect it.

Burned by her ex-husband and a messy divorce, Jeannie Dubois isn’t looking for anything more than a good friend. Besides, she’s still dealing with the ex who can’t seem to let her go.

Insert NBA coach, Aiden Walsh. Sure, he wants so much more than friendship with the beautiful woman he met at a wedding, but he’s sure he can play the part and he’s good at biding his time. So, for now, he’ll fill any role she wants.

But when these two friends become lovers, things quickly turn complicated when Jeannie finds out Aiden is so much more than just Manhattan’s favorite coach.

Can Aiden prove to Jeannie that they’re meant to be so much more, or will she send him back to the friend zone?


A woman seeking refuge in a bottle of champagne.
A man in the right place, at the right time.
And an incredible night on the beach that would alter their lives forever.

After a one-night stand with a handsome stranger, Marley Halligan has accepted her life for what it is - a hot mess. Working as an event planner in New York City and being a single mother to her twins, Marley’s life was chaotic enough. She never imagined that she’d run into the father of her children in the small town of Quimby Grove, Pennsylvania.

Max Quinn had been determined to find the gorgeous blond that captured his attention on the beach all those years ago. She was sassy, beautiful, and lit something within him. He knew that she was the one. The only problem was, he didn’t know anything about her - not even her name. But everything changes whenever he spots her from across the room at his best friend’s wedding. Determined to get her to stay in town, he will do anything for another shot with the one that got away.

As if navigating parenthood together wasn’t difficult enough, an unusual string of crimes are committed in Quimby Grove, each worse than the one before it, with Marley landing smack dab in the middle of them all.

Will Marley and Max be able to reignite their spark and solidify their family roots before the town’s tragedies tear them apart? Or are they destined to go their separate ways?


I’m a CEO who lives like a prince. She's a struggling entrepreneur. We’re worlds apart, and she just brought me to my knees.

♥ ♥ ♥

I make no excuse for my playboy ways. I work hard, and I play hard.

I’ve been burned by what I thought was love. Now one night with a woman is all I can give. I won’t risk my heart again.

Then a mysterious masked woman with curves for days enthralls me. After the hottest night I’ve ever had, I want more. But when I wake up, she’s gone.

No names. No promises. My mind says forget her, but my body won’t listen.

When our paths cross again, my need for her hasn’t diminished. I can’t give her a real relationship, but the guise of one will give us what we both desire most.

A fake relationship will clean up my image and give her the connections she needs to jump-start her business—though there’s no faking our scorching nights together.

Just when my feelings become real, my company is threatened, and she might be to blame. Was her coming into my life a devious plan to steal from me, or the innocent run-in she claims?

Either way, my company, and my heart are on the line.

Hey Bookish Boo! This has been a week and I debated whether to bring any of that into the newsletter this week, but ultimately I am an advocate, a Black woman and a journalist. All of that comes with me to my work, to the books you love. So are book political? Is there room in the bookish space online for politics? In short. Yes. Let me explain briefly before you roll your eyes and scroll down to the freebie romance books. Every time you pick up a book that centers women, women's pleasure,...

Hey Bookish Boo! It's been a week since Chaser dropped and I want to thank you all for your support. The book is doing great, the feedback has been awesome and the reviews are coming in. Which reminds me, if you haven't left a review for Chaser, please consider doing so soon. Traditionally when you hit 50 reviews, Amazon puts some respect on your name and supports your book more with their system. I'm at 32 reviews now so we are almost there! I've gotten some rad social media posts talking...

Bookish Boo Look! It's a book baby! And it's so pretty! Surprise I changed the cover! Ok enough exclamations. As you can see I'm excited. Very, very excited. The cover change was the result of why choose mentality. Not not that why choose. Months ago I sent out an email asking readers what they liked more, the straight bourbon cover or the cover with a Shayla inspo. It was a 50/50 split so... why choose? I like all of the above - and so does Shayla. Wait until you get to that chapter. Whoo!...
