Rising New Author: Jasmine Alexander


Hello Everyone,


I hope your summer has gone well. Time is ticking and school is looming for a lot of us. Whether we are taking classes or our kids and teens are headed back. This weekend in VA was tax free school shopping. So, the malls and stores were packed with a capital P. I didn't get the pleasure of cruising the mall with my pending third grader, because she is attending an academy where they wear uniforms. So, we just take care of that online. However, one great thing that I got to do this weekend is do a book signing in Richmond mall at Walden books with Jasmine Alexander. This was her first book and signing. If you have never heard of J.A. then let me do the honor of filling you in. J.A.'s first book is called Risk the Heart; which is the awesome cover you see before you. ;) Isn't the guy absolutely delicious?? The cover artist has done an amazing job. J.A. is a fellow Parker Publishing author. Readers and customers at the mall loved her cover and glancing at it know you all can see why. Jasmine is an African American contemporary romance writer. I thank all the great people in Richmond who stopped by to purchase their copy, chat, talk about the book and meet her. It is fabulous to be out and about and meet readers. If you all haven't had a chance to pick up her book, stop by your local bookstore or go online to Amazon, Borders or Barnes and Noble and snap it up. Shoot J.A. an e-mail and tell her how much you like the book. So, if you like your books to be romantic with a hot story and a little suspense then Risk the Heart by Jasmine Alexander is for you.
Well, I am back to the grind.
Romancing you,
~Monique
