I had the pleasure of reading an early copy of Outside the Lines, and from the first page, just like her previous book, Best Kept Secret, Amy had me hooked. The book is about Eden, a young woman searching for her father David. David suffers from mental illness and when she was ten years old, [...] Don’t look at that title and think it’s a diss, if you’ve read Eleanor’s book, The Weird Sisters then you know it’s a huge compliment. Eleanor’s book has done extremely well, and the reviews for the book have been phenomenal. The Miami Herald called it, “Delightful . . . That’s Brown’s gift: She draws you [...] I had the pleasure of meeting Jacqueline last summer at the National Black Book Festival. She taught me a valuable lesson and I blogged about it here. Jacqueline stopped by the blog to dish about her new book, Passing Love. It follows the story of Nicole-Marie Handy, a woman who has loved all things French [...] When I read Amy Hatvany’s novel, Best Kept Secret, the characters resonated with me in such a way that I thought about them for days. Emily Giffin said it, "Grabs you from page one and doesn’t let you go,” and she’s spot on in her review. So I was thrilled that she made time to [...] The wonderful Kelly O’Connor McNees is here to discuss her new book, The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott, which is now out in paperback. If you love Little Women then you’ll love this book. In her debut novel, Kelly deftly mixes fact and fiction as she imagines a summer lost to history, carefully purged [...] I want to give a big cyber hug to Tayari Jones for stopping by the blog today to discuss her new novel, Silver Sparrow. Silver Sparrow is set in a middle-class neighborhood in Atlanta in the 1980s. The novel revolves around James Witherspoon’s families– the public one and the secret one. When the daughters from [...] Today the lovely Lori L. Tharps is here to discuss her debut novel, Substitute Me. The book was inspired by Lori’s fruitless search for a nanny in New York City after the birth of her first son.

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.  |
