I just realized that Richard Sherman is my nephew. What, you ask? My oldest nephew is 25. So is Richard Sherman. My nephews are smart. So is Richard Sherman. All week we've heard about Richard Sherman's rant. Why haven't we been hearing about the other things Richard Sherman is known for all season? He's a graduate of Stanford. He graduated from high school, number two in his class. He runs The Blanket Coverage non profit organization that helps kids get the most out of their education. When he launched this in September, I don't remember hearing a damned thing about it. Didn't see wall to wall coverage on it. But his post game rant is still being played. And you know what, I'm not going to call it a rant. I rant every day. And when I do, you can best believe there is some colorful, sailor like language going on. Richard Sherman did none of that. NONE. OF. THAT. But this Vine is funny. I find myself looking at people wanting to shout, "D...

Call her the four million dollar woman. But know you, you're probably going to talk about Pam Oliver's hair. Here we go. Black women who cover sports get no respect. And how do I know? Cause I'm one of them. I'm not impressed by Pam Oliver's hair, but she doesn't ask dumb ass questions like Suzy Kolber. And her shag haircut is not always impressive on the sidelines either. Whenever Pam Oliver is on camera she comes across as knowledgeable, informed and trust worthy. But all y'all can talk about is her hair? Yes. I mean that from the bottom of my heart! Pam Oliver is a sportscaster for the NFL and NBA who has a net worth of $4 million. Pam Oliver earned her net worth through her years as a news reporter, sportscaster and sideline reporter for FOX, ESPN and TNT. She was born in Dallas, Texas in the U.S on March 10, 1961. She attended Florida A&M University where she was an All-American track star. She graduated in 1984 with a broadcast jo...

Charlotte City Councilman Theo Baxter hated everything that wasn't a republican. Imagine my surprise when I saw him on the site. I didn't even have to use my expensive ass software to know who he was. Bax369 had been his screen name. It made me wonder if he'd actually been trying to hide his cheating ways. Then I began to question why the media hadn't gotten wind of this. After all, this would've been John Edwards love child big — in the city of Charlotte, at least. It took him a while to respond to my sultry messages. I told him in the first message that he looked as if his dick was candy covered and sweet and I could wait to taste it. It was corny and a little much, but the man said in his profile that he wanted a woman who loved oral sex.   I could play that role, because his penis would never ever touch my lips. When I sent my second message, a week later, which was a picture of my lips wrapped around a banana, he responded with a list of demands. Be...

Book Into: The Impossible Possible by Deatri King-Bey One of the reasons I love romance so much is taking the common themes and doing something completely different with them. My favorite traditional romance theme has always been the baby daddy theme. In it the heroine hides the fact that she’s had the hero’s child from him. Then years later, they meet again and he discovers the secret! Yeah, I love that one. In my new title, The Impossible Possible, I decided to switch it up a bit. This time the hero hides the fact that he’s the heroine’s son’s father. Hmmm, impossible you think? After you read The Impossible Possible, let me know what you think. The Impossible Possible Bryanna Martin has given up on finding her happily ever after. The only way she’ll fall in love and marry is if God sends her Mr. Right to her door. Since she doesn’t believe that will happen, she devotes her life to her adopted son and career. Then the impossible happens, the perfect man literally ...

I want to thank all of my readers for your support in 2013. Now that we are into the second day of 2014, I have to admit that I never ever thought I'd still be writing about eleven years after the release of my first romance novel.  It's because of your support that I'm still here and I love you all for it. I mean, I love y'all more than I love this Christmas blend from Starbucks that I'm sipping right now.  This year, I plan to do a lot more writing. I'm even going to get on the ebook train harder. Just to let you know, all of my fiction this year won't be strictly romance. I hope you'll support that as well. I'm excited about this novella I'm wrapping up now.  It's called Fighting Back. And it was inspired by my day job and a Tweet from one of my favorite people, Shonell Bacon. I'm putting my heroine through hell and I'm not really sure how she's going to get through it. :)  I don't have any New Year's resolutions or tho...
