Party time with The Sol Kitchen

It's almost CIAA in the city of Charlotte. Normally, I wouldn't even talk about the mass list of parties. But!
Mike Kitchen, the owner of The Sol Kitchen, is bringing something different this year. So, on this windy day in Charlotte, we met at Starbucks -- of course-- and talked about CIAA and some future events coming to town.

So, stop me if you've heard this one. Woman has a last romp with a dead man and gets pregnant. No, this isn't the beginning of a short story, this is a true story . A 38 year old female mortuary worker is being held on $250,000 bond after becoming pregnant by one of her clients-a dead man.

Django Unchained or The live version of Catcher Freeman

Then I got an invite to see it.  Tarantino called out Roots as inauthentic as a part of his battle with Lee, who accurately said Django was disrespectful to his ancestors. About ten minutes into this overly long spaghetti western/blaxplotation flick, I wanted to make a tee shirt that would read, SPIKE WAS RIGHT.  Tarantino should've made a western with a black hero -- the slavery aspect of the movie was just so unnecessary.

Twitter is a great place to meet new authors. That's where I met Kimani author Judy Lynn Hubbard. I knew she was cool because she's a Dallas Cowboys fan! Then she shared an excerpt from her debut novel, These Arms of Mine . It left me wanting more and more. Thankfully, the wait is almost over! Hubbard's book is set to be released on January 24. Judy spoke with me about her first novel and writing. 1. When did you decide to write romance?      When I was 14, my sister gave me my first Harlequin Romance novel to read and since then I knew one day I wanted to write a book for Harlequin. Many years later, I finally completed my first novel and after many re-writes and submissions, I went on to write my second novel (These Arms of Mine) that was accepted by Harlequin Kimani after corresponding with them for about 10 months.   So, persistence and having faith in oneself definitely pays off! 2. What is your debut novel, These Arms of Mine about?  It’s a reunion ro
