**CURRENT READ**
Theresa Elaine Hopson, 46, owner of Miss Thang's Holy Ghost Corner and Church Women's Boutique is puzzled. She can't, for the life of her, figure out why even Baby Doll Henderson, despite her false teeth and her navy-blue-socks-with-yellow-jelly-sandals-wearing self, can find a man and she, Theresa, can't.
Theresa's been looking all of her life, and it seems like the only thing she finds are things that need to say lost. Like, for example, her on and off "friend" and sometime escort, the sneaky businessman, Reverend Parvell Sikes.
So, when church mother Queen-Esther Green reacquaints Theresa with the older woman's backslidden player nephew, Lamont Green, it seems like the same old story.
But this time, Theresa decides to listen to God and what she hears soon brings a smile to her face with the realization that the Holy Ghost has been in her love corner all along.

About me:
Our reading group was started May 2006 in the Phoenix Metro area with focus on bringing together enthusiastic readers to inspire discussion that evokes creative thoughts and imagination. Our primary focus are readers in the western portion of the valley but not excluded to that area. We also focus primarily on literature by African-American authors. Our goal is to eventually have chapters all over the valley, limited to 10 members per chapter. We invite men and women, old and young, new and seasoned readers to join us at any time. If you are interested in being a part of our reading group, please feel free to send us an email.Who I'd like to meet:

If you like the supernatural feel of Eve's Bayou or the fantasy of Preacher's Wife or love to read speculative fiction (think Octavia Butler, Brandon Massey) I write in the same genre...with a touch of relationship drama, too. Flex your imagination! Watch the trailer, read an excerpt and check out the great reviews on my web site.

I have posted the prologue of my new novel : “Nuttin’ But Death Can Depart Us.”
Meet Genavie, Traci, and Ma’Shawn, the members of Da Sista Hood. Their friendship is bonded by undying love, support, togetherness, and respect. This hood driven drama is set in the heart of Watts, California. Nuttin’ but death could ever depart them until Genavie meets C-Note a wealthy drug dealer from Compton, California. Then all hell breaks loss. La’Vie debut novel is a ghetto tale intertwined with love, addiction, murder, jealously, and betrayal. After a year filled with, squabbles, mistrust, tears, and laughter these teenage girls will examine the true meaning of sisterhood.
Here is the link:
