- Countdown to Black Romance Book Fest
- Boozy Book Tour Wrap Up
- Coming Soon: Stumped by Anna P.
Happy Saturday!
Forgive me for being a day late with the newsletter. I’m on a completely unexpected vacation on Hilton Head Island and the days got away from me. I’ll be returning home today and preparing for my next road trip. This time, I’ll be attending the inaugural Black Romance Book Fest kicking off on Friday. If you’re attending the event, I hope to see you there.
I had the chance to attend my first Boozy Book Tour right here in Raleigh, North Carolina last weekend. It was a fun event with lots of great authors and readers in attendance. It was great getting to meet everyone and the Brazilian buffet and signature Raleigh drink we were served were both so good. The Boozy Book Tour has several other stops planned, including events in Arlington, VA; Chicago, IL; Las Vegas; and more.

One night was all it took for her to bowl him over.
Businesswoman Vera Thomas is tired of misogynists and relationships. Her family, friends and job are a priority, leaving everything else at the bottom of her list. Including finding her forever person.
Cricket star Elias Joseph is not having the best year. After an epic loss last season and missing out on the World Cup because of an injury, he’s losing hope of ever getting back on the pitch. And he definitely doesn’t have time to do anything fun either.
When an encounter at a bar ends with Vera and Elias in bed together, it’s not meant to be anything more than one night. Except, feelings start to develop, emotions are running high and ignoring what they want from each other becomes difficult.
Especially when they realize they make more sense together rather than apart.
But when external forces get in the way of their happily ever after, they have to make a choice between love and career.
