Carla Dean of www.ucanmarkmyword is editing Keepin It Tight. Before she became a freelance editor, she was an editor at urbanbooks with Carl Weber and has worked with some of the best in the literary industry. So you can see why I'm glad she is diggin my book. I told y'all the book was going to be hot. I wasn't just saying that because it's mines...*smiles! *
So since the editing is planned to be wrapping up the end of April, it
will be sometime mid May when Keepin' It Tight will be available for
sale WHEREVER BOOKS ARE SOLD!! Yay! I just love the way that sounds!
Had you told me a year ago that the next best seller would be releasing in May 2007 , I would not have believed you.
Seeing my idea come to fruition is really a blessing.
May 21st is my birthday. What better birthday present could I have than to release my book that day?
Synopsis of Keepin' It Tight:
Lela James knows God has set aside the right man for her. Yet, when one relationship foils after the other, she all but gives up on finding her soul mate. Until an unlikely love connection is made when Cornelius Johnston makes an unexpected appearance at the James' Family Reunion. After Cornelius rocks her world, nice and slow, it doesn't take long before they are at the alter.
Cornelius Johnston (aka Neil) spent 8 years breaking through the ranks at Naytek Corporation. Mediocrity is not an option when it comes to his career. Even a stranger could see that his career is his first love. An invitation to the James' Family Reunion gives him a new outlook on life when his goals change from being CEO to being everything Lela James could ever want and need in a man.
Amanda Broady is Neil's ultra sexy, protege whose best assets are her flowing blond hair and hazel eyes. Her main goal is getting Neil in her bed. To her advantage, she is Christian Broady's niece, Neil's CEO. She uses her status to keep Neil away from home as much as possible with business trips, late nights, etc. After several failed attempts to get Neil's affection, she decides to take off the gloves, and expose a few of Lela's secrets.
Could your relationship stand the heat? Could you keep it tight when the devil is always at your doorstep? Keepin' It Tight explores relationship drama like no other novel. When deception in Cornelius and Lela's marriage reaches a point of no return, it will take a miracle to pick up the pieces. Come take the journey of race, love, deception, and temptation in Keepin' It Tight.
THANK YOU ALL FOR SUPPORTING ME ON MY LITERARY JOURNEY!! The best is yet to come.
