Update on Book release

So I released She's His Drug, He's Her Thug a little over a week ago, and I'm happy to report that the book is doing well, as evidenced by this recent ranking:


Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #8,119 Paid in Kindle Store (See Top 100 Paid in Kindle Store)

• #98 in African American Women's Fiction (Kindle Store)
• #109 in African American Women's Fiction (Books)
• #146 in African American Urban Fiction (Kindle Store)

In short, my book broke into the Top 100 in one of its categories on Amazon! Hooray!!!

For me, seeing my book rank along with some of the best in the genre matters a lot.  Urban fiction is a fiercely competitive category, so breaking into the top 100 is a feat unto itself.

Needless to say I'm flattered. It's probably too soon to say that the book has found an audience, but people are obviously reading it (and hopefully enjoying it). I'm just hoping that the good news continues - and compounds!

Anyway, I anticipate releasing the sequel around mid-March, so I'd better get back to work on that. My thanks to everyone for supporting my writing efforts.

My Novel is Published!

So it took a few days longer than anticipated, but my debut novel - She's His Drug, He's Her Thug - has just been released!

Needless to say, I'm incredibly excited. My hope (of course) is that the book does well and is embraced by readers, but only time will tell.

Naturally, this means the start of an exciting new chapter for me (no pun intended) in terms of my writing.  I've already got the next two books in the series kind of laid out in my brain, and can't wait to get them out there.

Hmmm...I do notice that the page count is off.  KDP is showing the lengthof the book as 157 pages when in actuality it is 191 pages long.  My hope is that this will get fixed when the paperback comes out showing the proper page count.

Regardless, I'm far too thrilled about the release to let the incorrect page count get me down.  In fact, I'm praying that this is just the first of many in terms of book publications, so hopefully readers will get a new book from me soon.

Testing, Testing...

So this is my first blog post, and is really serving as a bit of an experiment. I'm hoping to release my first novel later today (fingers crossed), so I'm trying to make sure I've conquered this one aspect of social media.

Anyway, everything looks good so far. Now let's just hope this book launch goes well.  Wish me luck!
