hi. most of y& #39;all who follow me know that i write le negro nosed romance outchea in these streets. but maybe, you haven& #39;t dipped a toe into the falls pond just yet. well, friend, i am here to tell you that you really need to rectify that and here& #39;s why...
if you like a lil bit of mess in the form of a woman who dealt with two brothers who& #39;s a bit too hardheaded for her own good? then perhaps, you should read about #DevLis in Adore You: http://bit.ly/FallsAY ">https://bit.ly/FallsAY&q...
Or if you would enjoy reading about a woman who& #39;s reeling from heartbreak and meets an intriguing gentleman down at the bar courtesy of a speed dating event that her pregnant bestie drags her to? holler at #CelRim in Smitten: http://bit.ly/FallsSmit ">https://bit.ly/FallsSmit...
I hear a lot of chatter about folks not seeing older women represented in romance novels, well my forty-something heroine meets a younger man via an interesting avenue (shoutout to @therealchencia). get to know #Dametricia in Then Came You: http://bit.ly/FallsTCY ">https://bit.ly/FallsTCY&...
pause for the cause to mention that those three books
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👆🏿" title="Up pointing backhand index (dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Up pointing backhand index (dark skin tone)">are interconnected standalones in a series. and to also warn you that i love couple name portmanteaus no matter how awkward they sound. none of them appear in the books, but this is how i refer to them often.
hey, you? you like short stories? something to whet ya appetite for just a lil sweetness (nastiness would be more apropos considering the word nipple appears approx 100 words into this collection). These are my babies--5 shorts, one book: http://bit.ly/NFSpark5 ">https://bit.ly/NFSpark5&...
In late 2017 I had a thought. It started with a Christmas novella and morphed into "I wanna write a series about sisters whose last name is Holliday who were born all around or on holidays!" Wild corny, right? But what& #39;s romance without a little cheesiness, amirite?
First sister up is Noelle - born on Christmas, hates her some damned Christmas. The reappearance of her childhood bestie changes her POV on the holiday though. Then there& #39;s Valora the Valentine and her marriage of convenience to her coworker/bestie.
Then Juniper aka Juju - the wild card (Juneteenth!) who had a chance run in with someone that proved to be just what she needed. &lastly Ginger (Thanksgiving) - the only one of the sisters who came into this world coupled long term & whose journey was more about self discovery.
All 4 of those tales - novelettes - can be found here: https://amzn.to/2RI0r0Y ">https://amzn.to/2RI0r0Y&q...
I collaborated with two of my homegirls (*waves to Téiley!) on a series about friends who& #39;d lost contact & reunited when they all travel home for their high school reunion. My book centered upon a woman who picks up a fine ass stranger danger on her road trip home. I know right?!
You can read about #RoEm (c wut i did thur?) in Road to Love: http://bit.ly/FallsRtL ">https://bit.ly/FallsRtL&...
*wipes brow* whew, this is a lot. IDEK how many more books I have to go but does anyone need a water break? I might. LMAO. K, moving forward. So music fuels my writing like no other. When you read my work it& #39;s evident. This next book is named after one of my favorite songs.
I wrote it in the midst of watching my aunt die from pancreatic cancer (ik, ik, sry 4 bringing the room down). Pouring myself into #Calirk helped me channel my grief in a constructive way (I think it& #39;s the best thing I& #39;ve written), Last First Kiss here: http://bit.ly/FallsLFK ">https://bit.ly/FallsLFK&...
Christmas came again and I wanted to write something. I am also obsessed with the food network and competitve baking shows. So I decided to combine the two and from that came the sweetest little novella--sugar butter flour love: http://bit.ly/SBFLFalls ">https://bit.ly/SBFLFalls...
and then a couple days after i hit publish on sbfl, a couple of side characters were like hey sis, we got something to say, so i posted this short short that has more actual christmas in it: http://bit.ly/FallsAIWFC ">https://bit.ly/FallsAIWF...
hey, so remember those short stories from upthread. well, i was asked to participate in an anthology and characters from one of those stories were like "aye plair, this is the perfect opportunity for you to bring us byke!" so I did in Switched at Bid: http://bit.ly/FallsSaB ">https://bit.ly/FallsSaB&...
early in 2019, i saw a clip of @JayShale spinning and I was like "OMG i should write a book with a female DJ as a heroine", so I did and the result was A Natural Transition, which is damn good if I say so myself: http://bit.ly/Falls13ANT ">https://bit.ly/Falls13AN...
& finally, we& #39;re at my latest release which is my favorite thing on Earth that I& #39;ve written right now. A collaboration with my pal and a writer whose pen I adore--thee Alexandra Warren. It us, love, and basketball--a guaranteed slam dunk! *groan* I know save your tomatoes!
Anywho, I kicked it off with Shots Not Taken about a sassy ass Black girl who just wants to sing country music and this fine ass ball player who she meets by way of mutual friends: http://bit.ly/NFSNT ">https://bit.ly/NFSNT&quo...
Whew, okay if you made it to the end of this thread, congrats to you. Hopefully you find something that piques your interest if you& #39;ve yet to dip a toe into the Falls pond.
