Music to my ears - About my novels, like THE TROUBLESHOOTER
"First, thanks for the signing. Second, the book was great. I really enjoyed everything about it. I like everything about Hannibal Jones, and I look forward to reading the rest of his series. I hope the rest of the gang, minus Timothy, are involved in some of the other books. The book kind of reminded me of the movie "Original Gangstas" with Jim Brown and Pam Grier.
I honestly loved the book and Hannibal Jones and what he stood for. Ya know, I sometimes get into conversations with people about Black Role Models and how some of them actually should not be looked up to. (Save this one for another time but for example Pimps and Pushers) So it is refreshing to read something so positive.
Thanks for taking the time to talk to me and introducing me to your novel. You have a new fan of your series and I look forward to reading the rest of what you have.

A Happily Ever After of Her Own
Melinda Lightfoot, a preschool teacher with an unusual ability to flit in and out of fairy tales, never thought she would get into trouble...
...until the Fairy Tale Police arrest her while she is in Beauty and the Beast. They offer her a deal: Find Beauty, who left the story when Melinda trespassed into it, or be charged with the ultimate crime -- Fairy Tale Killer. If that's not bad enough the Beast tags along in search of his true love, and Melinda starts falling for the fairy tale prince. She must choose between doing the right thing and having her own happily ever after.
