About Me

.. --

About me...okay, what should I say? I find it fascinating - first of all - that I even have a my space page...but that's another conversation. So, who am I? I'm a woman who loves God, her family, and her friends. (I only count a few as friends.) I love to read and I love to write - that's a good thing since I write novels for a living. I like to think of myself as a woman who has the wisdom of time, the attitude of youth and a body that lies about its years. That's me!

My Interests

Besides reading and writing, I love to workout, play golf, travel. My favorite cities are London, New York, Paris, San Francisco. (Funny, I don't live in any of those places.)

I'd like to meet:



On this site: positive folks.
On earth: Oprah! Bill Clinton!
In heaven: That's obvious.

Upcoming Tour Dates
Well, my page has said that I've been on vacation - well, that's not completely true. I've worked hard in 2007, completed three novels: one adult and two teens. Will give you more on all of that later. But, for the holidays, I'll be working on my 2009 books.

In the meantime, be on the lookout for this year's novel - The Ex Files ...

Music:

Love R&B mostly.

Movies:

Favorite movie of ALL time: It's a Wonderful Life! (So glad it's Christmas time so I can watch it over and over and over again.) Love other movies too, but I think I have ADD. It's hard to sit still for anything (well, almost anything) for three hours.

Television:

I start out watching very little TV and then get hooked on programs by friends. I loved Commander in Chief (alas, it's cancelled.) Grey's Anatomy (Thanks Lo!) And I hate to admit it, but America's Top Model (E. Lynn's fault!) But most of all, I'm a news junkie, give me CNN, MSNBC and every Prime Time, Dateline, 60 Minutes...and I'm happy!

Books:

Manchild in the Promise Land (was better when I read it at fourteen - made the mistake of rereading it), Native Son, Black Boy. My favorite contemporary books: A Long Way From Home, Child of God, Freshwater Road, and a new one, Abraham's Well...

Heroes:

My dad - Edwin Christopher! (1926-2005)

My Blog

Is This Blogging or Shameless Advertising?

I've said it before  not sure what I'm doing on myspace, but I'm really enjoying my time here. It's been a few days since I've posted anything and as I contemplated what my next entry would be, I f...

Suppose I'm right

Before you start reading this, I must tell you that it's about religion. No, not religion because I'm not into rules, rituals, and regulations. This is about faith. So, if you don't want to "hear"...

I Don't Get It!

Okay, I never thought I'd be on myspace. And I certainly never thought I'd be writing a blog. I mean, who wants to know my thoughts (I said that before, right) and then, how am I going to find the ...

I can't believe I'm doing this....

I cannot believe I'm doing this.  I cannot believe that not only do I have a myspace page (after the urging of my friends, particularly James, Lolita, Eric and Marissa), but now I'm posting a mes...
