Interests

  • General

    .. I used to love to sew, but I've not had much time to do that. I love music, so dancing is still something I enjoy doing. It's funny though: when you get older, you run out of breath a lot faster. That's why dancing is good for the cardio, and I still enjoy doing it. I love doing things on the computer that's challenging and building things with my hands. I love to read good books and listen to music when I have the chance (lately, that's not often). I love my children, grandchildren, and making memories with family and friends.

  • Music

    .. I've always loved Earth, Wind & Fire since I was young. I do love great music across the board. My most "recent" favorite song happens to be Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield. I listen to a lot of different type music. Can I get a witness, if you saw the SuperBowl between Pittsburgh and Arizona, Jennifer Hudson's rendition of The Star Spangled Banner left me almost in tears. She sang that song, do you hear me?!!!
  • Movies

    .. My favorite movies from the old school would be THE WIZARD OF OZ and IMITATION OF LIFE. I enjoyed GHOST with Whoopi Goldberg and Demi Moore. THE MATRIX was really good. FINDING NEMO stands out in my mind (I have grandchildren). I like to laugh so funny movies are on my list if they're really funny (and not corny funny).
  • Television

    .. Project Runway, Ugly Betty, Lost
  • Books

    .. Even though I write fiction, I really love books that inspire. I'm a huge nonfiction reader. Anything that will make life better and heighten my experience through life's journey. When I read fiction, I like a story that's not necessarily predictable and I love them to be written well.
  • Heroes

    .. It really would have to be my mother. My mother has proven that it doesn't matter where you come from or what you had or didn't have in life, with determination and God on your side, there's nothing a person can't accomplish.

Schools

Networking

  • I'm an author and a speaker who loves meeting people. I love people who have dreams and have determined they will reach those dreams regardless of what obstacles may try to get in their way.

  • Started as self-published, then one of those novels was picked up by BET Books. Signed a 2-book deal. Then a 3-book deal with Kensington. Now have another 3-book deal with Kensington.

    Thank you for being friends with "Who Needs God?"

    We recently passed the 10,000 friend mark and it feels good to know so many people on MySpace agree we all need God.

    Many Blessings!

    Sometimes in life, we just need someone who believes that we can. And more importantly, we must have the guts to believe we can. Yes, We sometimes get knocked down by our circumstances and situations, people run off and the thing that we want does not give the impression to want us. But it is in those times when all hope is gone that our understanding must raise its beautiful head. We can make it. It may not be easy, fast or rational but in the blink of an eye or a snap of our fingers, things can turn around.

    Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.
