From the author…
I'm excited to announce that my new novel, "And Then Came You" is getting exceptional reviews! I look forward to hearing and reading your feedback about "And Then Came You." 

One year ago we celebrated the birth of my first novel, "Whispers in the Night."  I'm proud to say it's doing well.  My next novel, "You're Mine" is in the process of being sold, look for it in 2001.

I have this unyielding belief that love can conquer just about all. Hence the reason I enjoy writing about topics that impact African American community while also sprinkling in a love story of two people fighting to overcome their own personal issues will continue to be an underlying theme.

Thanks readers for all the wonderful notes and letters.  Do keep in touch!

Whispers in the Night is a story about fighting for what you believe in even if it means sacrificing love. A must read that rekindles love, challenges friendships and overcomes regret.

Patricia Ryan is the board president of a community center for at-risk kids. She is actively soliciting supporters to protest the sale of the center to the Mackenzy-Duran Distribution Company that is looking to demolish the building and by doing so, the dreams of the underprivileged youth who depend on it. Mac Carter, co-owner of Mackenzy-Duran, has interest not only in expanding his company, but also in Patricia. Despite their professional differences, Mac longs to whisper in the night all the loving words Patricia needs and wants to hear.

There is an underlining story of three African American women (girlfriends) supporting each other as they strive together to fight against the odds. Other themes for African Americans in this book:

What can we do to help at-risk black kids in poverty

Corporate America vs. urban development

The need to support the Creative Arts in our community

The struggles and successes of "remembering to have dreams to chase"

A story that sparks conversation…

"The reading of Whispers in the Night, is not accomplished without stopping and visualizing the scenes, the details are so vivid. Your ability to blend the needs of a community, the inner workings of a successful advertising firm and trucking company (the ups and downs,) intertwined with a negative hood mentality and all smoothed over (but not at all distorted) by true love and friendship, convictions, strong family values (especially Mothers Love) and last but not least, fiery passion, all so well and tastefully depicted." -- Luke Gilbert
