Still a Newbie?

Sorry, for the brief post, but I’m in revision mode and trying to get back on schedule, (somewhat.) Oh, and another thing—Amber over at Brown Bombshell Beauty did a wonderful write-up of Unbeweaveable. Brown Bombshell Beauty is just what the title implies—a blog dedicated to the beauty of brown-skinned women. They always have great [...]

Up, Up, and Away!

So it’s out. My second novel, Unbeweaveable is in stores and I’m surprisingly calm about the whole thing. With my first book Six O’clock, I lost sleep and went a little crazy worrying over how well the book would do. I promised myself, (and my hubby) that I wouldn’t do it this time [...]

Don’t Get it Twisted

The winner of the joke contest is Nina D! Nina, email me your address so I can send your book. Thanks for everybody that entered on Facebook, but sorry folks the contest was only here on the blog. Okay, now back to our regularly scheduled program…

I know I preach about how much [...]

Ciara is Addicted To!

Guess what’s the one thing that Ciara can’t live without?

Her hair extensions!

When Essence.com asked her what’s the one thing she couldn’t live without she said:

This may be very blunt, but I can’t live without my hair extensions! It’s the truth! I don’t want to wear my (real) hair all the [...]

To Prologue or Not to Prologue?

Up to 44,451 words on the work in progress. Feeling excited, like I’m in the zone.

I like prologues. I like knowing what situation I plan on reading later in the book. In Unbeweavable, I start the book with a prologue. In my WIP, I start with a prologue. The unpublished book [...]

Sweaty Hands

At 43,503 words on my WIP. Feeling good about the progress. Wish I could blink and it would be finished, but then I wouldn’t learn anything. Oh well…

I am scared to death of doing a book signing.

There, I said it.

I know I need to put myself out there, but the [...]

Unbeweavable is a Hit!

Or at least Essence best-selling author, Victoria Christopher Murray, thinks so. Check out the blurb she gave me for Unbeweavable.

Katrina Spencer has a hit! Beautifully written, Unbeweavable was impossible to put down. Light and funny, yet poignant and touching–a very creative novel. Mrs.. Spencer is an author to look out for.”

I’m bursting [...]

Bangs Continued…

I’ve talked about how much I’ve wanted to rock bangs. I wore bangs for most of the month of December. Here’s a picture of me, before the hubby and I went out to dinner:

(It looks like I’m wearing a blanket for a shirt, but it’s actually a really cool dress. I’m tall [...]

Gone Begging

It’s that time again. Yep, the asking (begging) of fellow authors to read Unbeweavable and give it a blurb. This is a busy time of year for a lot of people, and the fact that people have taken the time out of their busy schedules to read my novel sends me to the moon.

Routine

Keeping my routine of writing during the day and reading at night. [...]
