Simply Cheris. . .

So, I'm sitting here watching She's Gotta Have It for the hundredth time. The first time I saw this movie, I didn't get it. I thought it was all about sex. Hell, I was a teenager, so that's why I wanted to watch it.  But as a 32-year-old, watching this movie has led me to believe that Nola Darling had the right idea about relationships.

My tenth novel will be release on Nov. 3rd. I'm so excited and I hope that you all will pick up this book and love reading it as much as I loved writing it. James Goings, the hero of this novel, is a character who stuck with me. He has a famous brother, but James still had a story that needed to be told. And he needed a woman who had her own. As much as I hate the Ne-Yo song, Miss Independent, that's who Jade Christian is. But even Independent women need love. So, get your copy of "Betting On Love" on Nov. 3rd and stay tuned for where you can meet me and get your book signed. Cheris
