Solomon Crawford pounded on his desk. Who in the hell was Clara Flowers. Fields. Whatever. Why was she bringing this shit up again? Really, who gave a damn about Carmen and her insane ass? She was dead. New York Daily Observer was a tabloid rag anyway. Was this the only way those hacks could sell papers? “Mr. Crawford,” his assistant said over the intercom. “You have a guest.” “Does this guest have an appointment?” “She said no but you would want to see her. It’s Clara Fields.” He muttered a string of curse words that would shame a sailor. “I don’t want to see her.” “Mr. Crawford,” an unknown voice, which he assumed was Clara’s, said. “I have some information about Carmen De La Croix that I think you should know.” “Why don’t you print it in your next installment of the Carmen Chronicles?! “he boomed. “Mr. Crawford, you really should talk to me in private about this.” “Fu—You know what, come on in. I have a few things I’d like to say to you in private as well.”

Chelsea’s life with her “mother” wasn’t easy. Anita wanted a family – more specifically a husband. She led little Chelsea to believe that they were biologically related. But when Anita had a man in her life, she ignored her daughter and seemingly turned a blind eye to the sexual abuse Chelsea suffered starting at the age of ten. Jimmy Peterson had been Chelsea’s last abuser. She’d been 15 at the time that he moved in with Anita. “That house was clocked in evil,” said former neighbor Betty Wallace. “I’d hear that poor child crying out for help at night. When I tried to talk to Anita, she told me to mind my damn business. I tried to call the authorities but they didn’t follow up.” Then the fire happened. Details of that night are sketchy, but Anita and Jimmy were locked in the basement as the house burned. It was ruled an arson and Chelsea was the only suspect. When the story made the papers, her aunt Lucy Washington found her. Lucy had been Chelsea’s real father’s sister and ...

The Carmen Chronicles Five years after the death of Carmen De La Croix, New York Daily Observer reporter, Clara Fields uncovered what drove Solomon Crawford’s former right hand woman to madness. This is what she found out:                 The violent end to Carmen De La Croix’s life seemed to be a self fulfilling prophecy. Born Chelsea Rodriguez, the little girl was placed up for adoption at the age of three. She was raised by a woman who she thought was her mother, but Angela Chavez was one of the New York City Department of Child Services foster parents. During the 1980s, there were some women who used the foster system as a way to supplement their income and Chavez was one of the worst.                 According to county records, Chavez had collected payments in excess of $40,000 for children who were no longer in her care. B...

I moved to Charlotte in 1995, a freshman at Johnson C. Smith University. At that time, current North Carolina governor Pat McCrory was the mayor of Charlotte. Throughout the 1990s, the Duke Power employee was the "leader" of the Queen City .   (In case you were wondering how that law suit against the power company got settled so fast.) Are you happy with your vote? McCrory hated Raleigh -- so he said. He even led a convoy to the state capital in 2007, demanding that the General Assembly did more to fight crime. He told WSOC-TV: McCrory says, "This is a citizens' grassroots effort to go to Raleigh to say, ‘To hell with partisan politics. It's inexcusable to get in a partisan fight over crime.'" He added, "This is not a political issue. This is a life and death issue." Fast forward to 2013, he is the partisan asshole politician that he allegedly couldn't stand. We're barely into the first year of King McCrory's reign and...

Last week I received an email from a reader who said she loved my latest title, The Only Option and wondered where I got the idea from. I explained to the reader that an event usually occurs that sparks an idea for the plot, but that didn’t happen with The Only Option . It just came to me organically. I explained this on my blog also, but now I really want to know where the idea came from. I often say I have voices in my head, and if I don’t write their stories, they will drive me crazy, so I put my psychosis to work. But something has always happened that woke the voice up.   A triggering event. Yeah, I know I sound crazy, but you’ll find many authors are a little touched in the head. The best I could come up with was fifteen years ago I had several friends whose marriages had been arranged. Back then I had been fascinated by the topic so asked a gazillion questions. That must have planted the seed. Then a few years ago, the opening of the novel popped into my...
