 &nbsp; &nbsp;Hi Everyone,<br>
<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; I'm sorry for the whole month I've been away, but when I won the Cush City<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; Best New Author Award, everything went crazy. &nbsp;I was inundated with e-mails<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; by the thousands. I got phone calls from around the country. &nbsp;I was invited<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; to speak and WOW!!!<br>
<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; So I catch my breath to say hello and get back on track. As the 2007<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; Award-winning author, I am more determined than ever to be the new writer's<br>

Congratulations to all of the finalists in the Cush City "2007 Best New Author<br>

CHAMPIONS, WE'RE # 1 as of 11:31 Pacific time.<br>

<br>
<br>
I can't begin to thank you enoughfor your support,showing that many of<br>
you appreciate the kind of story I've written, the theme I've explored. &nbsp;It<br>
shows that the subject of unity and love, getting rid of division in<br>
our race is understood and appreciated &nbsp;It shows that you are intrigued with<br>
our heroine, INDIGO TATE, &nbsp;a flawed character that grows to be a lioness over<br>
her turf, one who stand up to drug cartels and other bad boys, without being<br>
rough. She's still wearing those sapphire earrings in the end.<br>
<br>
The Mayor's Wife Wore Sapphires was a 1-year labor of love and I praise God for<br>
it. &nbsp;Thank you again for making it # 1. &nbsp;Thank you.<br>

Hi Everyone,<br>
<br>
This is the poem I did for Pan Afrian Film Festival in Los Angeles. It was<br>
written to encourage African Americans to not be afraid to talk about<br>
DEPRESSION. &nbsp;It was meant to encourage them to talk about the depression<br>
without thinking they are crazy, or that nothing can help. &nbsp;To seek therapy<br>
from a trained therapist. So if you ever have one of those days, I hope you<br>
read my poem and seek professional and/or spiritual help.<br>
