When We Practice To Deceive

About the author

(SEE VIDEO below)

2007 was a wonderful year for me. Although I have been published by major mainstream publishers, this year I chose to return to the self-publishing arena (Living, Breathing Lies) in order to continue to write the stories I like to write. I am so appreciative of those readers who have continued to read my books despite who my publisher is. I always say, "Never let anyone tell you that you can't; show them that you can." I am about staying on the literary path I asked God to set my feet upon. I hope you, as well, are going about fulfilling your dreams and letting no one bound your mind, soul, or hands.

Also this year, my latest book, Living, Breathing Lies placed as a WINNER in the USA Book News National Best Books Award for 2007 in African American Fiction (USABookNews.com). Do I count this as a blessing? You bet I do.

Currently, I am working on my 10th title, SASSY, due out June 2008.

Reviews

[Londa · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a quick and good read. The readers are introduced to two cousins who are both attorneys working on opposite sides of the justice system. One of the cousins had a deep secret and would do almost anything to keep it. How far she goes is shocking and disturbing. This is a modern story of 'passing' and it deals with that subject as deeply as I expected in such a short book. Many of the outcomes were predictable, but still overall I enjoyed it and would recommend it!
