Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I was born and raised in Chicago Illinois. I fell in love with urban novels, after my mom gave me a book by Terry McMillan called-Mama. After reading that I knew exactly what I wanted to be…an Author.
As to date I have a total of six books that I have put my pen to and working on more.
When I am not writing I speaks to men and women via social media or in person, on topics such as relationships, sex and I spend a lot of time speaking about the, Unity Between Black Men and Women.
I am currently working on more hot novels and five of them are on Amazon right now. The Double Back Series, Pussy Talks, and Sorority Ties which is a collaboration with some very talented women.
Coming at the end of 2015: He Thought He Had Me and Stolen Moments series, I am currently working on many more books.
During the time when I was contemplating becoming an author I had already dipped into writing, playing around with what I wanted to say and write and did some spoken word. When I finally put my pen to paper to write my very first novel like many authors in the beginning I was skeptical, but then my wings began to extend and I found my bearings.
People often ask me what is my favorite book to date and my favorite is Pussy Talks, only because I talk about sex the way someone may order dinner it’s comes natural to me, I simply give it to you RAW! But my baby of my work is Double Back mainly because it is my very first.
I am with a great publishing home, BlackLyfe Publications.
So look out for me and my work I will not disappoint!
I always have something to say.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Pussy Talks is my latest book. One of the main reasons I wrote it is I have come across so many women who are still afraid to be sexually liberated, and that’s only because MOST are afraid of what others will think of them. When they are behind closed doors sometimes that fear of being yourself will dissipate but when you are talking to a crowd of people or even just a few girl friends, MOST women still refuse to open up about their likes and dislikes. So I wrote this hoping that it gives women some insight on knowing that it is okay to crawl out of your shell.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not sure if it’s unusual but I must have the television and music playing certain shows and certain music will take me to a place that I need to be in to write. Actually it helps blocks out all the outside noise.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
My very first fiction book which my mom gave me called Mama by, Terry Mcmilian. I didn’t know books like that existed and I have been hooked every since. I also love Carl Weber great stories even better that he reps voluptuous women. Also any author that works hard and love telling awesome stories no matter where they pull the story from, I am always influenced by them to keep pushing.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on my next series called, Stolen Moments. It is a little different than what I am use to writing, I am loving the story line and the characters but my followers will see something different. I am trying to have this series done by January.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I take it to the streets I like to hand out my flyers and some free books so people can actually walk away with my work. Other than that I use ALL social media sites for promotion.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
My advice would be don’t expect to be rich over night, work hard and have lots of determination. Believe in what you are writing and don’t try to do what everyone else is doing. Give yourself 3-5 years to build a true following throughout all of social media.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Always stay true to your writing!

What’s next for you as a writer?
I am currently working on a few webisodes I want to put on You Tube that will be about the Unity of Black Men and Women. More books to come and the list is endless.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
