About Me

I'm a former day care teacher and site director with 9 kids, 15 grandkids, and a life long passion for writing. A New York transplant born and raised in the borough of Brooklyn, I've called Cincinnati my home for the past eleven years.In 2006 I finished my first debut novel, This Ain't No Hearts and Flowers Love Story, but had a pret-ty darned hard time tryna find an agent/publisher, so with the Lord's guidance I decided to self publish. Since then the book has won the 2007 Reader Views Book of the Year Award in the Great Lakes/Regional category as well as placing third in the Spiritual/Religion category.When I'm not tirelessly promoting This Ain't No Hearts and Flowers... I'm working on the follow up novel.Check me out on my website: www.brooklyndarkchild.com and tell me what you think. Visit my storefront to learn more >>.. .. Read My Writing at WritersCafe.org
