“Does she sing in the choir? Is she on the usher board? Or is it the hussy you work with? Tell me her name, you son of a…preacher man!” Charlene is the estranged wife of a minister who is re-learning the healing power of forgiveness.

“My panties are priceless and they probably cost more than what you have on! But… my kids are hungry. So let’s make a deal. How much you got?” Denise is an adolescent rape victim turned single mother of five, and has been forced down life’s path of lust, lies, and deceit.

“I love him and he loves me. He’s just having a hard time showing it. Or maybe I’m having a hard time seeing it… through this black eye.” Michelle, a battered newlywed, who because of her upbringing; makes poor choices in men.

“I don’t know why you put up with it. I’m much too good for that! Besides, I own my home. My car is paid for. And I look good enough to be on the cover of a magazine. But…If I do it this one time; nobody will ever know.” Katrina, little miss-goody-two-shoes, has big secrets and because of those secrets, there is a lesson she has to learn.
These four women lead totally different lives while unknowingly wearing the same mask. What will it take for them to remove that which has become so comfortable?

Hello Fellow Authors and Aspiring Authors:

It has been a while since I've posted to Essence.com, but I had to take to time to join a group. I look forward to sharing my experiences as a new Christian Fiction author and networking with all of you. For those of you who are interested in attending a great literary conference, please check out the Faith and Fiction Retreat 2010 in June. I attended last year, and I learned so much information.

Blessings,

I had the pleasure of attending An Evening Without Politics on Friday, Sept. 25th (my birthday). It was quite the swanky affair. Normally I'm a jeans and t-shirt kinda gal but I clean up nice.

Here's the link to my article about it, Check it out.
An evening without politics is an evening with promise
Enjoy!
PS. OH!!! OH!!! And Angie Stone performed too. I got a shot of her in it. It was a hot show.

Have you self-published a novel, but it's not selling the way you had expected??? If this is the case, check out "A Second Pair" Blog to find helpful tips that will help your book sale.

Hi, everyone. Hello, Madinah! I too had to find my writing style or my writing style found me. I had to trust my talent and stand with God and built my confidence in him. It took some years, not to be discouraging but my patience with myself paid off. Now I write with love and compassion because i know it will help heal, elevate or bring humor into someone's life. You decide what you want to bring and ground it in love and your style will be born. Peace, love and God bless. P/S Say you are a novelist now, and your style will find you.
