April is here!!!!!

Why am I excited you ask? Because ROMANCE SLAM JAM is just around the corner. This is one of the best conferences. It's where readers and writers come together, rub shoulders, laugh and get to know each other. It's made for readers to hear from new and seasoned African-American romance authors, as well as have their voice heard. It is an amazing event. And it will be in Chicago, so how can you not love that. I can't wait to sink my teeth into a deep dish pizza. Oh, and see other authors as well. LOL! I hope you are going, if you didn't know anything about it, then e-mail the head of RSJ and see how you can get in on the action. You don't want to miss this. I flew in from Germany my first year and didn't waste a cent because it was so worth every dime. I got to meet Beverly Jenkins, Deatri King-Bey, JM Jeffries, Donna Hill, Gwynne Forster and so many more. The best part is that they got to know me as well and didn't once at like they were mega million bookselling authors (which they are), but sat at the table with me and talked.

Well, I can never say enough about Slam, but on to other showers of Spring. For all of you who have been waiting for Healing Hearts to his the bookshelves in print... wait no more. Well, a little longer becasue 27 April is the day. Phaze, one of my publisher usually put the book at a discount during the day it is released, so make sure you keep your eyes on the site. The new cover is fierce. I am posting it on the Healing Hearts page. The first person to contact me and tell me they saw the new cover on my blogsite wins a free copy of Healing Hearts sent to them when it comes out. But, don't wait until it comes out to contact me, contact me as soon as you see it. Well, enough said for now!

Still romancing you!
