My poem "You Are Enough" has been featured in a new novel by Pepper Pace. She is a leading Interracial Romance (IR) writer that I was introduced to a while back. I've always been a fan and when she found out that I was AvrgBlkGrl, she freaked. Apparently, she has been following me around on the internet. She only knew me by my actual name. But after choosing the poem, she discovered my moniker. I do get writing credit. So, it puts me a little further out there. The novel is what is referred to as an Urban Romance, which I personally do not write. She doesn't do very much of it either. However, that genre is quite lucrative--more so than basic IR. It's just not my style. She does a great job with this one. I wish I had wrote it.
And too, a publisher has actually contacted me. She's giving me a little time to finish up one of my manuscripts. I'm excited to see what happens with that. She found me through a FaceBook post. Can you believe that!
