Happy Monday! Can you believe the end of the year is near? I’m shocked by how fast this year has flown by, but also excited to snuggle up with some Christmas reads and enjoy the holiday season. I know some of you may be thinking it’s too early for Christmas, but I’ve already started my […]
Fall Books I Love
I’m wrapped in a blanket, wearing fuzzy socks, and drinking hot tea. No, it’s not winter, but this Texas-born girl feels cold as soon as the temps dip below 75. And seeing how northern Virginia got the fall memo on September 22nd, I’m permanently wrapped in layers. So I thought the perfect way to commiserate […]
Back to Ọlọrọ Ilé + #Giveaway
A couple of years ago, I created a fictional country for the setting of my book In Search of a Prince. I never imagined how much I would come to love Ọlọrọ Ilé and the people there. When I wrote my book, To Win a Prince, I was happy to return to the country and the people. If you […]
Baseball & Books + #Giveaway
It’s August and baseball season is up and running. Now I’m not a huge fan. I grew up with a grandma who loved it and would watch more than one game on TV. However, I always thought it a tad bit boring (pardon me if you’re an avid fan). However, I recently won some free […]
Twenty-five and counting!
Last week I celebrated the release of my 25th book baby. I’m going to be honest, I didn’t realize it was book 25 until I counted all my books for something else I was working on. I just kind of sat there stunned, thinking I had miscounted. But another round of counting came up with […]
Weddings, Weddings, Weddings
It’s the month of June and officially wedding season. Don’t believe me, just look and see how many of your Facebook friends start posting their wedding (or anniversary) photos, informing people how many years they’ve been married. In fact, my anniversary was on the 3rd (celebrated 17!). So I thought it would be fun to talk […]
The Not-So Glamorous Life
I’m a published author. Did you think to yourself: that’s so amazing! Her life must be awesome. If so, let me take you inside to the not-so glamorous life of writing. Now, I’m not trying to be a downer or ignore how blessed I am to be a published author. I’d just like to give […]
The Setting + #Giveaway
The Setting. Every book has one. Some are fictional. Some are real. But all are essential to the story and can help bring the story alive. So how do authors choose settings? Well, I asked a few friends and I’ll also tell you how I chose the setting of the manuscript I’m currently writing. So […]
The Joy of Reading
The Book of James tells us to “count it all joy” during trials. I admit, sometimes it’s hard to count my blessings when faced with adversity. But today, when I was thinking on it, I remembered how much the joy of reading has helped me. Reading can be the ultimate escape experience. It can take […]
From the Ground Up + #Giveaway
Have you ever wondered what kind of research and information goes into an author building a fictional country? For my newest release (Happy Release Day to me!), I decided to create a fictional country for the setting of In Search of a Prince. You say Brielle Adebayo, a 8th-grade civics teacher, discovers she’s really an African princess […]
