Reviewed as well on Good Reads and Kindle

Thank you both for reading and reviewing. I do appreciate it.

I’ve written a sequel that features the same couple because the end felt more like a beginning for them. The plan is to publish it in November.

Thank you again.

Just in case anyone is interested in signing up as an ARC reviewer, this novel will be available through October.

Should I read the first book before reviewing the sequel 🤔

Y’all please check out the sequel!! It was soooooo good. I teared up!!! It felt like the perfect ending to Iyah and Julien’s story.

Hi PurpleLadi, you shouldn't have to read the first book but it would help to give context. June would be able to answer your question more objectively since she's read them both.

What do you think, June? Does she need to read both?

Thanks 😊

PurpleLady, you definitely need to read both!!! The first book can stand alone but the sequel is the more complete story that these characters deserved! It also gave their love and relationship more depth. Read both, you won’t regret it. I loved both.

When it rains, it pours.

I never expected to wake up in the hospital, broken and unable to care for my basic needs. Mama says it's a miracle I'm even alive, but why should I be grateful when I have lost everything?

Now I've got my deadbeat father pushing for reconciliation, my estranged best friend trying to reconnect, and a 23-year old kid giving me sage life advice.

My well-ordered world is in chaos. So, why does that suddenly not feel like a bad thing?

--Set Adrift, available on Amazon 4/25/25 and right now for pre-order.

Hello, All!

My new psychological thriller, His Benevolent Mask, is available for pre-order on Amazon.

Zeta Haygood believes she has the world’s best boss until she discovers he’s harboring a dark secret. Will her quest to expose him reveal that she’s been grasping at straws or will she unveil the monster behind the man?

Ooooo that description is intriguing!! 🙌🏽

It’s LIVE! My psychological medical thriller, His Benevolent Mask, is live and available on KU. Here’s a sneak peek:

“—How well do you know Dr. Ranier, Zeta?” Amanda Kellner interrupted sharply.

The question unnerved Zeta and left her stammering. “I…I told you before. I’ve known Dr. Ranier since he was a resident.”

“And you think he’s a good man?”

Tendrils of alarm and indignation crept through Zeta’s body like icy, decrepit fingers. “Are you implying he’s not?”
