New Interview

I know it has been awhile since I've blogged on here. I have truly neglected my website. I so need a PA! Any who, yesterday I had my very first live radio interview with author Blue Saffire and we had a blast. Click here to take a listen. I will try my best to do better in the coming months. The first of the year has been a little slow for me since I was working on something completely different under a pen name, but now I'm getting back to my regular genre and hope to have it done and out by

Literary World + Social Media = High School?!

  So I hear tell that there's some drama going on in the literary world. I don't know exact specifics because I refuse to be pulled into high school bullshit. I'm too old for that crap, and it's not like I participated in it when I was in high school.       Anyway, I've heard and felt that it can be very cliquish within certain groups. I still feel like an outsider sometimes because often other authors don't make newcomers feel welcome. I've been told by readers that authors of one genre will

Fast Love or Slow Burn?

It's been awhile since I've posted anything, but after seeing a particular critique that I have gotten quite a few times from readers. I felt it was time to clarify.   Often times I get reviews where readers don't like how quickly my main characters fell in love. They wished that it took longer for the couple to fall in love. Well, when you get a Twyla Turner novel, just know that more than likely, the couple will fall fast. Why?   1. It's FICTION. This is not a memoir. It's not an

My Readers

First and foremost, I would like to say...       I'm not a #1 Bestselling Author as of yet (still holding out hope though), but I am making strides towards that goal. How, you ask? My readers. Don't get me wrong, I know that spending some time (and maybe money) on marketing and promoting are very important, but when it comes to books, there is absolutely unequivocally no promoting in the world that is better than word-of-mouth!       So in this, I have to give much love and thanks to my readers.

To Blush or Not To Blush...That is the Question: The Struggle Describing Black Characters

  So I felt the need to write this post based off of criticism myself and other authors have received. I am a black female and believe that my race of women are hands down, some of the most beautiful women in the world. But when it comes to describing characters, it is very difficult to articulate into words the nuances of our physical features without making every single heroine look exactly the same in every book.   My character Lexi in my Damaged Souls Series, has green eyes. This is a rare
