Oh, so true. Keep writing!!

You’re going to get a lot of rejections and agents will ignore your emails and there will be naysayers around every corner and you’ll get 1-star reviews that are attacks instead of reviews. None of that matters. Keep going. Stay focused. Put in the work. Don’t quit. Go write.

Meanwhile, book 4 in the Harriet series, EDGE, is avail for pre-order. Picture it. Unexplained overdoses are popping up all over Chicago, one of which hits too close to home. How can Harri and Vera make it stop?

The first Black woman to receive her pilot’s license was Ms. Willa Brown.

She is the trailblazing woman who trained the Tuskegee Airmen.

History books left her out but we will never forget her incredible accomplishments.

Say her name and remember her. 💗

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.
