My experience at RWA-CHICAGO NORTH SPRING FLING 2018 I made a last minute decision to go to Chicago North’s Spring Fling 2018 after I realized they had extended the deadline. I had been tossing around the idea since last year when I saw on the website that Beverly Jenkins would be the keynote speaker. I thought I would be nice to meet a popular and prolific author in the author world. Plus I wanted to meet an African American USA Today bestseller.  Last minute didn’t afford me much time to prepare. I was also getting ready for the Interracial Romance Author Expo event in Florida that was just two weeks away.                
The Spring Fling event was a public book signing and workshops for writers with inspirational speeches given by the keynote authors. Diversity seemed to be a running and much-appreciated theme. There had a large array of topics in the workshops that were educational and fun. I wished I could’ve taken more of the workshops but it was hard for me to get out of bed. I didn’t have to get a hotel since I live twenty-five minutes from the hotel where the event was being held. The hotel was clean and spacious and seemed to be fairly accommodating. A big plus was the hotel had free parking. 
The vast majority of the authors were very nice. Even the big name authors were wonderful. Damon Suede was a treat. Beverly Jenkins was funny, down to earth and very real. Meredith Duran was inspiring. Joey W. Hill was a gem and one of the first people to talk to me when I was sitting at a table alone. I showed up to this event alone. I heard of a few authors but I literally didn’t know anyone. I left with a host of mutual Instagram and Twitter followers. The workshops were on various topics, things like Business Planning For Authors, Mastering the Meet Cute, BDSM Romance, Series Success: Starting an Indie Series with Multiple Authors, Consent is Sexy: Consent In Romance and Beyond and many more. 
At the book signing, I sat in between Kathy Lyons/Jade Lee and Ruth Kauffman. Kathy Lyons was the coolest author and so friendly. We talked about the Rita Award. I had a fascinating and heartfelt conversation with Rita winner Clara Kensie during the conference. Actress and Author Ruth Kauffman and I chatted about almost everything you could fit into an hour and a half book signing. I even sold a few books. I didn’t expect to sell anything. My name was even on the website because of my late registration. I met authors Jillian David, Dylann Crush, Diane Wiggs and Miranda Darrow. I went book shopping with author Eliza David. All of these women were all a joy and a pleasure to break bread with. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few names. 

Overall I really enjoyed this event and I can’t wait to return next year. I met and chatted with some friendly authors. I learned a lot from the workshops. I got a lot of author swag. I deeply appreciated all the free books that were given away. I only purchased two books. This was a really cool conference. 

HEART OF GLASS is COMING VERY VERY SOON!
I'm super-excited about my new release on Friday. These are my muses for my characters Kelby Dozier and Antonio Dozier. 
Here's a short excerpt from <3 <3 HEART OF GLASS <3 <3 is available for preorder. http://a.co/6w2ixgv
Coming Feb. 24 and part of the HEART novella series.




EXCERPT: I heard the door open and close. Joel had left me in the house. I even heard his Porsche drive away. With the blindfold, my other senses were heightened. In utter silence, I sat on the leather sofa at the bottom of the stairs. The only thing I could hear was my heartbeat. Frightened was an understatement. I was petri-fucking-fied. My clammy hands were placed flat on my lap. Was I really going through with this? The answer was yes.
I was pretty good at estimating time. I had been sitting for about six minutes when I heard his footsteps. They weren’t Joel’s. The patter had a loftier rhythm. The steps were heavier, steadier and somewhat musical.
“Don’t move.” His voice was deep. He seemed older but I knew he was older than me. “Did you hear me?”
I swallowed air. My throat was bone dry. “Yes.” My voice shook and my knees bumped together.
“You can speak when spoken to. I expect responses.” His voice seemed familiar to me.
“Sorry.”
“Don’t move.”
“Okay.” I could barely hear my own voice.
I listened as he strolled closer toward me. He was nearby. I could feel his presence. The aroma of his cologne accosted me. He smelled expensive, leathery, cool and frosty.
“Raise your hands up in the air.” He ordered and my first thought was – and wave them like you just don’t care. My fear had turned into comic relief. Kevin Hart would be proud.
This man’s voice made my body shudder. I slowly raised my hands off my lap. He took one of my hands. “Stand.” He pulled me to standing. He was holding my wrist. He took both of them with one of his hands. His hands were big enough to hold both of my wrists. Impressive or scary? I was still trying to figure it out.

INSIDE HEART OF GLASSHere's a sneak peek inside my latest book HEART OF GLASS. It's book one in the Heart Novella Series. These are the images that help inspire the book. You have to read the book to understand the images and how they go with different scenes in the book.

This is the apartment complex that the main character Kelby Dozier lives in. The parking lot where is runs into you know who and the front entrance.


This the the bar where she meets her best friend Lahasia. 
The restaurant where Kelby meets Joel for the first time. 
The very expensive alabaster and white Herve Ledger bandage dress and Christian Louboutins that were waiting for Kelby on the bed in the bedroom. 
Saving the best for last. These pictures I loved because they were the rental property in Lake Forest where the majority of the book takes place and where all the body rocking happens. The exterior with the lion statues. 
The back yard with the horse statue. 
The entrance with the infamous ivory sofa below the stairs. It leads into the living room area where there is the bar, the fire place and piano. 

The kitchen and table by the patio doors. 
The basketball court the Joel looks for when he arrives with Kelby. 
The master bedroom.
The bathroom with tub and separate shower. 
The walk-in closet. 
I hope you enjoy the tour of the scenes for my book HEART OF GLASS. If you didn't read the book. Get your copy over at Amazon. <3 <3 HEART OF GLASS <3 <3 is available for preorder. http://a.co/6w2ixgv

Here’s an excerpt from LOGAN ENCHANTED:
Two weeks had passed and there was no mention of anything that had transpired between Logan and me. Everything was back to normal. We carpooled. We hung out. We even had innocent sleepovers. Innocent meaning my panties stayed on my body and his tongue stayed in his mouth. 
I didn’t have the guts to ask Logan about Marcie. He didn’t volunteer any information and I know he came home that night after his date with her. I got home after him and I saw his car parked in the lot. Two weeks later and I didn’t say anything and he didn’t either. I wasn’t even sure if he was still seeing Marcie. There were a few things we didn’t discuss and Marcie from the eleventh floor was one of them. 
We went to work and came home but the drama was always following me. I was home alone after work. I was rocked hard again with news that I should have seen coming. But apparently my name was Stevie Wonder because I didn’t see a damn thing. 
Tonight I needed Logan.
