I’m an American author based in Malmö, Sweden. I write romantic women’s fiction about Black women discovering love and themselves in unexpected places. I drink way too much coffee.

I was born and raised in West Philadelphia. Yes, just like Will Smith. Now I live in Malmö, Sweden, and write copy for IKEA by day and sexy love stories by night for all of you.

Pope Francis, whom I always affectionately called PappaF, has left the building. In my lifetime, he was my favorite pope. And I will always love the emojis created for his first visit to the US.

After 15 years of great service, my Electrolux vacuum cleaner bit the dust. Time to get a new one. Maybe a robovac.

On Friday, I was at Mall of Scandinavia in Arenastaden. There’s a Tesla showroom there. It was full of Swedes either buying or considering buying Teslas. They know Rocket Boy is a Nazi. They still want to buy his cars. 🙄

In Stockholm for a friend’s vernissage. Just came back from dinner and observing the courtship rituals of upscale Swedes at the hotel bar. Makes me glad I am no longer single and trying to pull. 🙄

Nina Simone Day – for so long she has been one of my idols. ❤️
Happy Nina Simone Day

“I’ll tell you what freedom is to me—no fear,” Nina Simone wistfully told an interviewer in 1968. “If I could have that half of my life…”

I’ve never been a big Britney Spears fan, but whenever I hear “Toxic” I sing along and want to dance. 🤷🏾‍♀️❤️

I had an interesting experience with ChatGPT today. I started off using Google for some research re: train travel from the southern part of the US to the mid Atlantic and northeastern states during the early 1960s. I was having trouble finding the info it showed me a few weeks ago…

I spent my entire afternoon watching Doctor Zhivago – one of my favorite movies! This year is the 60th anniversary of its release. Still epic! ❤️

@markhamillofficial.bsky.social I’m rather partial to sweet potato pie and rhubarb pie. But I never say no to a good apple pie… especially with lots of cinnamon, walnuts and a dollop of whipped cream.

The Swede and I agree – Alien: Romulus is awful! We both would rather watch the original Alien (which is sublime) a gazillion times!

Movies I plan to see in the cinema this month: The Conclave (seeing it tomorrow) and Nosferatu (probably next week). Which movie are you planning to see?

The Swede and I have been enjoying these series. What are you watching?

Today I had the best grief counseling session via #BetterHelp. I felt so happy, I nearly cried. My therapist helped so much.❤️
