Had the absolute honor of being in conversation with the one and only Charmaine Wilkerson, author of the newly released and gorgeous Good Dirt. she is as brilliant and warm as her words.

Big thanks to Parkbooks for making this magic happen.

Lovestruck Books Is That Bitch, I Fear...
Not the launch already giving main-character energy! Romance authors this is THE STOP in Boston.

👯‍♀️Me and @jasminepics just opened Boston’s FIRST-EVER romance-only bookstore, Lovestruck Books, right in the heart of Harvard Square. Fun times!

🚨 PRINCESS AND THE PI COVER REVEAL TIME! 🚨Okay, I told artist Amacieforever I wanted a sexy noir detective vibe, but she heard, “Why not make them want to F#@$ the cover?”
I am not mad at it. 👏🏾
Thank you to my team at Berkley Romance 💕
