I love strong, black women. I especially love women that are not afraid to get older, but in fact embrace. One of those women is the beautiful Iman. Well, she’s back in the spotlight with her new show on Bravo, she has her own line of jewelry, handbags, and shoes on HSN, her exquisite make-up [...] 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 tips [...] 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 around. [...] 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 I [...] 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 time [...] 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 The unpublished book that’s collecting [...] 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 more [...] 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 with [...] 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 and [...] |
I’m a Women’s Fiction writer with two novels under my belt, Six O’clock and Unbeweaveable. Curl Up and Write is where I fuse my two loves: hair and writing. You’d be surprised at the similarities! When I’m not writing, I’m watching How’s It Made with my Hubby (and pretending I’m not interested in learning how a tennis racket is built), or I’m reading to my daughter. I also dabble in gardening, love to cook, and watch way too much HGTV.  |
