But wait, there's more!

I've written a companion novella that picks up where Ruby's left off, taking our beloved characters to a new venue with new adventures.

Ten years after they first captured readers' hearts, Renee, Maxine, and Debra are back, navigating new chapters of life with the same honesty, humor, and deep friendship that made their story unforgettable.

As life pulls them in different directions, their standing Saturday brunch at Ruby's becomes harder to maintain. But when challenges arise, these three women know exactly where to turn...to the friendship that has sustained them through every triumph and heartbreak.

Warm, witty, and deeply emotional, this epilogue to the beloved Brunch at Ruby's novel delivers the perfect blend of new beginnings and satisfying closure for readers who have waited to revisit their favorite fictional friends.

Darnell Harris thinks he has mastered the art of living abroad- and with good reason. He’s attractive, confident and thriving as a teacher in Daegu, South Korea. However when the pressure to return home collides with two unexpected love interests, he’s forced to question everything . . . including whether he wants to return to America at all.

Towels in Daegu is a travel fiction novel that captivates you in a romance that explores culture, connection, and the unexpected twists of finding love far from home.

I'll have more information on this title in the coming weeks (including print and audio editions), so BE ON THE LOOKOUT!

But because I am so excited about Desmond & Imani, I can't keep this from my seasoned readers.  Here are the deets on Calculated Risk: 

When heartbreak leads to love...

Imani Thatcher has played it safe all her life, making the smart moves that landed her a prime spot at one of Atlanta's top financial firms. When heartbreak shatters her carefully planned world, she finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about love and life.

Desmond Taylor has enough on his plate keeping Bright Pathways Youth Center running and Atlanta's at-risk teens off the streets. A polished financial analyst from the high gloss end of Atlanta should be the last thing on his mind, but from the moment she walks through his doors, he cannot deny the electricity between them.

When it comes to matters of the heart, love is always a calculated risk.
