This & That Cover

These last couple of months have been surreal. My family and I have been trying to cope with this new way of life, but it’s been tough. We had so many plans, which have thus been canceled. We never imagined 2020 would be like this. It’s been a strange year, to say the least. Hang in there, folks.

One of the ways I’ve been coping has been to focus on my writing. As you know, I have a short story project where I’m publishing one short story a week until the end of 2020. I’ve recently released number five of nineteen. My latest story, This and That is about Brandon and Leslie. They’ve been married for ten years and have reached their boiling point. When Leslie finds an engraved lighter in Brandon’s pants, she plays detective, but will she like what she finds?

Peeling the Onion

Hello all,

How are you? If you’re having a good day, please keep having a good day. Life is so hectic right now and I want to prompt you to always try your best to find things that make you happy. The things that make me happiest right now are the sun, when my husband brings me a cup of coffee in the morning, kickboxing, tasty plates of food, carefully made drinks, my son’s laugh, YouTube fail videos, messaging with my siblings, and Audible.

As you know, I’m in the middle of a short story writing bonanza. This is the second week of my short story project and my latest story, Peeling the Onion is out! It’s about Bryant and India who are happily married. Everything is perfect except for one thing, Bryant’s best friend Jay. Jay comes over unannounced, drinks and eats everything in the house, and stays for weeks at a time. Jay’s presence is driving India crazy. A wedge begins to build between Bryant’s and India’s relationship even though Bryant is trying his best to keep the peace between the two people he loves the most. Everything is coming to a head and Bryant is being forced to make a choice, but whom will he choose?

Yep, you read that right. I’m publishing one short story a week until the end of 2020. That’s nineteen short stories in all, but before I get into that, I want to talk about COVID. I know how difficult this time has been for all of us and I want to wish you and your families safety, love, and happiness.

So, how have you been keeping yourselves entertained? Have you been making daily trips to the grocery store? Are you binge-watching old TV shows? Are you reading? Ah, reading. I love reading. Reading is my thing and I have the perfect story for you to read. My new short story, Friendship Schmendship will definitely keep your mind off of COVID.

It’s about Jessie and Natalie, twenty-something roommates navigating their lives together in a small, two-bedroom apartment. Their world is filled with copious amounts of alcohol and selfishness, but not much money. Things take a turn for the worst when Jessie realizes she’s had enough of Natalie’s shenanigans. When Jessie confronts Natalie with the truth, Natalie hits Jessie with some painful truths of her own. Will this blowout strengthen their friendship or end it? You don’t want to miss this. It’s available on Amazon now.

So what are you waiting for? It’s time to get your read on!

See you next week with a new story!
