✨IT’S✨RELEASE ✨DAY✨

“I walked like the world owed me something and believed nothing could break me—not bullets, heartbreak, or betrayal. But that’s the kind of bullsh*t you believe when you’re young, dumb, and too full of ego to recognize how fragile life really is”

Accepting mediocrity in the bookish space is accepting an author telling you using A/I is to “enhance” the readers experience

But, when Black author or reader points out the flaw in that way of thinking you swear we’re haters. We not hating we just want people to be held to a standard their 1/2

I guess the problem I’m having with the outside of my thumb hurting is a good thing. The way I stay clicking away on this laptop. I need to find something on the zoo, cause this is annoying AF.

But I can’t be to upset I’m getting the words in. #authorlife

I often get asked if as an author “Do you ever get sick of words. Reading and writing?” And my answer is NEVER.

Merry Christmas to all the word lovers.

Earlier this year I exited BOOKTOK. Here’s why.

I got tired of the foolishness & inability to think logically.
&
Recycling the same arguments
&
Constantly making excuses for bad behavior

I’ve come to realization that I’m not a romance author.

Hear me out. Is their romance in my books? Yes. But is it the priority in the story? No.

So, I’m now considering myself a romance adjacent author.

Good day

THE DATE: Dalia

Random Thoughts: Everyday I wake up wondering why I love my sister, because she is on some good BS with this one. Blind date? Tuh.

Learning to NOT be a long winded author is hard work.

The way I stress out trying to cut words, paragraphs and chapters when I swear they are needed is some stressful sħiț.

I don’t know why my behind is reading Tina J before bed knowing she always has my blood pressure high.

But I can’t stop reading her messy books. Whilst screaming “it couldn’t be me”

When family is everything. Nothing will stop her from protecting hers, even if she never knew them. #books #romance #mcromancebooks #bookstoread

My two cents.

She said, No!
And he said, NO!

But then… THE DATE.

Unfortunately for Dekker & Dalia their pasts make them jaded and incapable of seeing what’s right in front of them.

Will THE DATE change their opinions on love & relationships?

Or will their jaded past remain a wedge between them & love?

The process of republishing my backlog under my new pen name, while simultaneously writing new books is daunting yet satisfying.

Ps my new covers are 🔥 if I say so myself. #Blackauthor

I’ve been working on book 2 in a duet for 3 years. It’s not even that serious, I’ve written 5 books since book 1. For some reason this book just doesn’t want to be written.
