Blog postThe next book in the Virtues & Vices series is Dominic's Pride. Look out for it on March 21. You may pre-order at https://bit.ly/DominicsPride
Nearby chatter interrupted Nick’s trip into the past. While sipping coffee, his eyes met those of the woman who told him a week ago that he got around. Seemed like she did too.
She spoke into the phone, lifted her chin, then smiled. Something about her made him not only want to return the gesture bu -
Blog post🌺🌺🌺SAMPLE SUNDAY🌺🌺🌺
Sacrifice is my latest novel. It's about a Christian couple, who go through a harrowing time after losing their daughter. Here's hoping you enjoy this snippet.
Dane's entry into the room stilled Sophie's thoughts. She realized then that she hadn’t moved from where he left her. He clasped her shoulders with both hands. “I can't know what the problem is if you don't tell me.”
She didn't look at him because if she did, her resentment would be -
Blog postSacrifice was released on Tuesday and I invite you to read a sample from the book.
Dane's entry into the room stilled Sophie's thoughts. She realized then that she hadn’t moved from where he left her. He clasped her shoulders with both hands. “I can't know what the problem is if you don't tell me.” She didn't look at him because if she did, her resentment would be obvious. While he was gone, she’d had a lot of time to think. Sophie wanted to ask so many things but couldn’t come up -

Blog post#SampleSunday #KnightsOfTheCastle
Aziza’s shifting gaze revealed her discomfort. She knew she’d crossed a line. “I went to my apartment.” “Your apartment?” Ryan massaged his forehead and sighed.
The woman he loved more than anything else had no sense of self-preservation. “I’m still waiting for the rest of it. You know … the part where Akbar chased you.”
“I promised I wouldn’t leave, but—”
He stepped into her space, forcing Aziza to back up. “If I knew all t -

Blog postHere's hoping you've had a great weekend. Enjoy today's Sunday Sample from DNA.
Squinting at the screen, Russ racked his brain. Dwight. Dwayne. Dean. Dane. Yes. Dane something.
His finger hovered over the mousepad and his stomach turned over, as if he doing something abhorrent … and he was.
He clicked on Amoy's friends list and opened it up. Halfway through scrolling, he almost gave up but something kept his finger on the mousepad.

Blog postToday's Sunday Sample is from The Pain of Things.
After a long, hot shower I propped myself against the headboard, watching the international news. By then, enough time had passed for me to shut out the pictures of that miserable little house in Laventille and Myers’s lifeless body. At times, when it was impossible to get the day’s events out of my head, I studied financial reports, researched business trends, or meditated until I was back to being myself.
Each time I di -

Blog postOn this #SampleSunday enjoy a taste of #romanticsuspense in The Pain of Things.
I shifted Zane to my other hip. His bottom felt squishy, so I headed toward the house to change him. The guesthouse occupied two floors and Zane’s small utility box with baby wipes, diapers, and diaper rash cream were on the bottom level in the room where I slept.
The bedroom was cool, but I turned on the overhead fan and laid Zane on the bed. Walking backward, I pointed at him. “Don’t move.”

Blog postElbows on the counter, Russ stared at the computer. While talking to Amoy, his mind had been busy. He still couldn't remember the name of the guy she'd been seeing before he came back on the scene.

Blog postJunior stared through the glass, and Amoy couldn’t help thinking how sober he’d become, like Troy. Guilt racked her. He shouldn’t have to worry about being in the same space as the man who had loved and protected him until now.
She sniffed, ignored the ache behind her eyes, and turned up the music on the radio. “Everything will be fine. When we get home, we’ll rustle up some mac and cheese, okay?”
His eyes brightened when he met her gaze in the mirror. “Really? Miss Sarah -

Blog postDNA is a different journey for me because it's the first time I've written inspirational fiction.
I hope that readers will consume the story with an open mind and take something away from the pages.
The process took four years, but that's the way it is when you're trying to move in a new direction - life happens and other projects intervene.
I'm happy the story finally got done and now I can relax and take a breather. If you take a chance on DNA, be sure to leave a -
Blog postHere's today's snippet of DNA, which will be live on June 26.
Russ studied Amoy, admitting that with one incident, he no longer trusted her. His reaction was weird, given that what happened was far in the past. But there it was, and until he got past the hurt, he'd second guess everything, including her reluctance to move abroad. That was a whole other matter. When his gaze met hers, he shoved the thought aside but knew he'd revisit it.
“Russ, would you pray for us, please?” Am -

Blog postAmoy sat on the mattress facing him. When she didn't do anything but stare, Russ met her gaze. “What do you want from me, Amoy?” The hurt in her eyes wrung his gut, but what did she expect? The hair covering her forehead fell into her eyes. They were red and watery as if she'd been crying.
Right now, he didn't give a damn. She deserved a taste of what he'd gone through since he found out how she'd duped him.
She sniffed and pressed the corners of her eyes, then cleared her th -

Blog postThis week means publication for me. Months ago, life was normal and we were all going about our business. Today, the world looks like a completely different place. We are locked in, but I am using the time to work, as well as complete several projects that were outstanding.
The only thing that makes me feel like publishing a book is a worthwhile pursuit is the fact that people need to take their minds away from reality, even for a little bit. It is my hope that The Pain of Things pr -

Blog postHere's an oldie, but goodie. I've switched up the cover of Retribution because it was time. Enjoy this sample ...
Xavier didn’t care if Justine was married. That made her off-limits, which worked for him because his gut told him she’d do even more damage if he opened himself to her a second time.
He was now as close as he could come to being happy. He needed nothing to add to his wellbeing except a relationship with his son, which might prove ticklish to manage. While he was ge -

Blog postToday's sample comes to you from DNA, which is coming in January.
At the sound of his voice, Troy looked up and Junior lowered the tablet. The apprehension in his eyes squeezed Amoy’s heart. She swallowed hard, wishing with her whole heart that the man she married wasn’t such a sneak, and that she had even the whisper of a plan to put things right between them.
Russ laid his hand on top of hers, which rested on her knees. “We didn’t tell you that we’ll be moving away for a whil -
