Getting it off your chest...

I have thrown my author hat into the arena of many great writers. I have just completed my first novel Pretty Monster. It is in the process of being published for 1st quarter 2008. I guess I should be excited but I am more blah than anything else. I didn’t want to write this first novel, I had to write it…

Abstract
Pretty Monster is the turbulent story of Tangy Raye Waters a resilience young girl who grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and her struggle to be at peace despite the trouble of family woes and her monstrous ego. Many life lessons learned from her grandparents and time led to her faith in God and the music never stopped.

It is a southern-urban expose of time and the plight of a young lady who struggles against the odds. A few readers that were privy to the really rough drafts stated that it reminded them of Biggie and PAC in regard to telling a story in a way that you can definitely feel and see the pain, struggle and joy. Others said it would be a wonderful film and compared it to Lakawana Blues (which I didn’t see until I was finished with it).

I am humbled by all the feedback I have received. I am trusting the world with a peace of me with and I look forward to whatever comes next. I have started my next novel which is a dirty tale – laughing out loud, I am going to enjoy writing the next two books…
