Coming soon in February 2014

Hello everyone,

First of all I just wanted to say Thanks to all of you who have supported by page.   I really am thankful to all my followers!

I am excited to share some very exciting news.  For the past seven months I have been working on my very first solo Novella which I have titled, " Closure".

This story began in one of my writing classes.  However after talking with a very good friend and writer I was convinced   that this story needed to be told.  Therefore, I began with a few chapters and then it expanded into a novella.

Closure is the story of Sara James who after experiencing the death of her beloved mother Lila as a child then has to endure abuse and negelct from her father Garrison who becomes a drunk after the devastating loss of his wife.  This story details the journey that Sara endures as a child and througout her youth and later into womanhood.  Sara is left reeling from the abuse and then is able to escape and rebuild her life. Sadly, once she begins to pick up the pieces.   Sara receives a call about her father Garrison. She finds out he is ill and wants to see her.  Sara is conflicted and does not feel she owes him anything.  This is why Closure is a novella - or melodrama about one woman being able to let go of her past in order to be able to move forward.  For anyone who has ever had this happened in your life or family.

Closure is one story you must read. Closure will be available through create space by early or late February.

However I can reveal the wonderful cover that I obtained through The World Literary Cafe ( Fostering Success and the wonderful Natasha Brown.   I love the cover and I am excited to bring you the novella very soon!

Hope you will enjoy!

Excerpt of Battered Mind Chapter 1

Sadie Carlyle awoke in a state of despair when she finally opened her eyes, and noticed that  she was lying in what appeared to be a large hospital bed.   Then,  she immediately began  screaming very loudly.  She was so out of control that a strong sedative was required to calm her  down.   Her long red hair looked so dry, as the sedative took immediate effect.  It was not very  long before her greenish eyes began to close again, her skin looked so pale as the nurse applied  a soft pillow under her neck.   This had been an intense few days for Sadie.   Her emotions    were running so high that you could see the puffiness in her swollen eyes from all the non-stop  crying.   It was so hard to believe that Sadie was once a very attractive green eyed  red head that captivated a room with her profound beauty.  After a few minutes the nurse noticed  that Sadie w...

Excerpt : John Marshall Law School

The day finally arrived.  I  was going to be attending John Marshall Law School in Atlanta.    This was one of the proudest moments of my father’s life.   He was absolutely thrilled, that his  only child, a daughter had been accepted.    This made my father very happy and he just thought  it was so poetic, that I would soon be a member of such an elite group as he was.  After all, my father Jackson Martin had been an alumni of John Marshall Law School and  maintained a perfect 4.0 gpa and had been one of the top in his class.   He always wanted  to keep his legacy going and now all eyes were on me.    I was excited in being able to finally start at John Marshall so that I could finally have my  freedom or so I thought. You see my father did not like the fact that I had chosen to live with my boyfriend Dante  Caryle.  He was furious and always had his re...
