Stuff I Like:

Martial Arts, books, dance of all kinds: Jazz, West African, Hip Hop, Freestyle, Pole Dancing :).

I'd like to meet:



I'm thinking. I would love to sit with Maxwell and have him sing to me. I would have loved to have met Bob Marley. Maya Angelou could say anything to me and I would be mezmermized by her voice. Lunch with Tina Turner would be da bomb. I'm still thinking. I would have loved to have met Catherine Dunham. I'd love to meet Frankie Manning. And I don't care what anyone says Prince is still sexy. That's it for now . . .

Lyfe Jennings is off the chain. I have both of his cds. Raheem, Alanis, Fiona, Kirk Franklin, Yolanda Adams, Santana, Etta James. Reggae, Soca, Afro-Cuban . . .Blues, Blues, Blues, all the way back to ZZ Hill Blues. I was raised on it. My Dad was a singer and played the alto and soprano sax. Anyway, I'm north, south, east and west when it comes to the music I like . . .

ABOUT MY BOOK: Good Girls is for every woman (and guys are loving it too). So whatever nationality or age, enjoy!
Good Girls Pole Riders Club
Stripping: It’s not just for bad girls anymore.
When Shaundra finds an ambitious stripper’s business card in her boyfriend’s back pocket, she decides it’s time to learn some new tricks. If dropping it like its hot is what her man wants, then that’s what she’s going to give him.
She tells her girlfriends: Shay, Brenda, and Karina and they make a pact to buy a stripper’s pole and learn how to work it like the pros. Trash talking on a girls’ night out is easy. But, fulfilling the promises these best friends make under the influence of vodka martinis proves to be much more difficult for these suburban women who’ve never met a stripper, much less aimed to be one.
Shay is bored with her marriage and herself after ten years as a preacher’s wife; Shaundra is the mother of a rebellious teenager; Karina is Weight Watchers' number one client; and Brenda, is a peace officer who is ready to get wild for the first time in her life. These are desperate housewives and singles in search of Mr. Right, trying to keep love in their lives by maintaining a good girl image in the world and being bad girls in bed. These are four friends, waiting to exhale…and make the earth move.
Riding on the wave of mainstream popularity that the skill of stripping has among ordinary wives, mothers and singles, Kimona Jaye—a fresh new voice in sexy fiction-- delivers a fun and intoxicating adventure to be read and shared with friends and lovers alike.
