Books by REAL authors

These days, it seems as if any reality star or scandal making headliner has a book on the shelves.
Yes, I'm pointing my finger at Evelyn Lozada and Rielle Hunter.

I'm all for supporting real authors. You will never see me talking junk about my fellow scribes, we work too hard to build a reputation and to put quality books out there to entertain readers. For example, one of my favorite writers, Victoria Christopher Murray, is a magician with the written word. When she tells a story, you learn something, you feel something and you want more.

For a "reality show" bully star to be called an author --when we know good and damned well a ghostwriter did the heavy lifting--is simply disrespectful.

This week, proud home wrecker Rielle Hunter drops a book about her affair with former senator John Edwards and their daughter. It's currently number two on Amazon. I saw her on 20/20 and was simply disgusted by the way she talked about Elizabeth Edwards, John's dead wife.
I haven't read this book, but I'm calling it trash. Yep. Trash.

There are better books to read this summer. Do you mind if I give you a few suggestions . . .Here we go!

1. Kayla Perrin: Always In My Heart, Surrender My Heart, Heart to Heart
2. Victoria Christopher Murray: Destiny's Divas
3. Michele Grant: Pretty Boy Problems
4. Judy Lynn Hubbard: Our First Dance
5. Brenda Jackson: Courting Justice
6. Cheris Hodges (that would be me) Recipe For Desire, If It Isn't Love
7. Tayari Jones: Silver Sparrow
8. Eric Jerome Dickey: An Accidental Affair
9. Angie Daniels: Endless Enchantment
10. Farrah Rochon: Pleasure Rush, A Forever Kind Of Love
11. Bettye Griffin: Isn't She Lovely
12. Deborah Fletcher Mello: Seduced By A Stallion 
13. Aliya S. King: Diamond Life
14. ReShonda Tate Billingsley: The Secret She Kept
15. Deatri King-Bey: Third Time's A Charm

Don't spend your time reading bad books, trashy books and books that you'll want to throw at the wall. Your paint job deserves better!

Woman rapes a dead man and gets pregnant

Image
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. The alleged crime took place at the Mourning Glory Mortuary just outside of Lexington, Missouri. Police have charged Felicity Marmaduke with desecration of the dead and necrophilia. According to a statement made to police by Marmaduke, the alleged victim experienced a post mortem erection while being bathed. Being alone, Marmaduke straddled the dead man and proceeded have sex with him. Much to her surprise, the alleged victim came to orgasm after several minutes. A few weeks later, Marmaduke had a positive pregnancy test while receiving a routine medical exam. Upon telling her doctor the circumstances leading to the conception, the police were notified. Marmaduke was...

Django Unchained or The live version of Catcher Freeman

Image
Forget what Spike Lee has to say about Django Unchained , I want to know if Aaron McGruder recognized his work on the big screen. After reading what Quentin Tarantino said about Roots , I had plans to sit this one out. 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. Granted, this movie is a work of fiction and not based on any historical slavery story. And yes, people go to the movies to be entertained, but overly violent movies aren't entertaining to me. However, I digress.  The fact that some many people are talking about how "original" this movie is proves one thing: Y'all don...

Naughty or Nice. . .Is Liza Palmer being naughty or nice?

Image
In my upcoming release, Rumor Has It,   Liza Palmer discovers that her best friend Robert Montgomery isn't the man she thought he was and she's willing to do what ever it takes to stop him from winning the state senate seat he's trying to get elected to. Powering down his iPad, Jackson crossed over to the breakfast island in the kitchen to brew himself a cup of coffee. He had about an hour before he needed to get ready and head to the campaign office. He could n’t believe the big debate was less than a week away and the election was just two weeks out. Reaching for a banana nut muffin, Jackson was ready to relax for just a minute. Then he heard the doorbell ring.             “Really?” he muttered as he put his muffin down and headed to the door. Looking out the window, he was shocked to see Liza Palmer standing on his doorstep.             When Jackson opened the...
