About the author

Tia McCollors used to dream of being a television news anchor, but her destiny led her behind the pages instead of in front of the cameras. After earning a degree in Journalism and Mass Communications from UNC-Chapel Hill, she went on to build a successful career in the public relations industry. In 1999, a job layoff prompted Tia to discover and pursue a writing career as an author. Following the birth of her son in 2006, she left the corporate arena to focus on her family and her expanding writing and speaking business.

Tia’s first novel, A Heart of Devotion, was an Essence Magazine bestseller. She followed her popular debut with four other inspirational novels including Zora’s Cry, The Truth About Love, The Last Woman Standing, and Steppin’ Into The Good Life. In 2012, she released If These Shoes Could Talk, her first devotion book of The Prissy Purse Devotions series. Tia’s sixth novel, Friday Night Love, will be released in May 2014, followed by Sunday Morning Song in October 2014.

In addition to being an author, Tia is an inspirational speaker as well as an instructor for writing workshops. Her speaking and literary works have been spotlighted in a growing number of publications, including Black Enterprise magazine, Who’s Who In Atlanta, The Good Life magazine and the Atlanta-Journal Constitution. In December 2013, she was honored to receive the Jubilee of Reading Heritage Award by the DeKalb County Library System.

I love almost every story in the book. I will be on the lookout for some of these authors books because the short stories they wrote were amazing. I was laughing and cracking up most of the time. Some of the stories were serious and just left you speechless. Can't wait to find other books by these authors!

Compilation of many very good novelists. The stories were very quick and most of them ended too soon. I had only read Pat Simmons’ “Love for Delivery”. A couple of the titles, I will look to see if an extended novel is avail. “Three Women Who Love and “ A Good Thing”, for sure I would read a full book on if avail.

several of my favorites teamed up in this book, but my favorite story was by a new comer Kelli Lynn Daughtery. I had to re read that story to make sure I didn't miss something. That story I would like to see in a full length novel. Great job by all.

Great stories!

The stories in this book were all great! Some of them reminded me of some situations in my own life. I read stories by some of my favorite authors and I found some new authors I want to read more of their books! Off I go to buy some of their books.

Good Collection

Great diversity among the authors and also the storylines. This book was an enjoyable read, behind my expectations.

I knew that my regulars like, Pat Simmons, Rhonda McKnight and Tia McCollors would not disappoint me. Sherri Lewis also made the grade with her story set in Africa.

I was introduced to Pipe Huguley, Michelle Lindo Rice, and Brian Thompson. Loved every story.

When She Loves, expresses that divine emotion that God has given to women in a very unique way.

All of the authors were good and the storylines, the characters and the "Word of God moments" were wonderfully crafted.
