I am Aleta aka DivaHotPen and I write books. My Debut is ZipCodez A Watts and Compton Tale; it's a gangster love story.My Bestselling series is Salty A Ghetto Soap Opera 1-4 and Why Me? A Novella and its sequel Why HER?
I am a mother, a wife, and friend, a diva who get great pleasure in inspiring other women!
I love The Lord and trust that all that I've been through prepared me for a time like this ( A Great One....)
I Refuse to complain about anything....
I refuse to live life mad and trying to make others miserable....I refuse to live life with regret and sorrow ( I will not)
God said I shall live life with Joy and not worry or regret because it will not change a thing. Take it all to him in prayer and it shall workout in my favor. ...more
