Did you know impatience can bring problems?

Yes, Christians can be writers too!
Do you know how much imagination we, devoted Christians, use every day to build our relationship with Christ? Do you know how many conversations we have with Jesus internally that could create a volume of books? Do you realize how many times we’ve pictured ourselves walking and talking with Jesus, and even how the day he returns will look like? How about picturing the events and the people in the Bible?
We must use our imaginations.

A Sequel is coming!
You've read right! A sequel to The Fairest is coming this year as promised. It's presently undergoing copyediting and soon I will be seeking ARC readers! I am so excited for this series. I am happy that I changed the genre from young adult to new adult because now I have more freedom with my characters and with scenes. If you notice, this book cover is a tad bit darker in appearance. It's not that vibrant purple anymore. This speaks volume as to what will be occurring in boo

Awesome Day at the Black Author Expo!
I had the privilege to be a vendor at this year’s Black Author Expo in Largo, MD on Saturday. I met some amazing people and sold many books. I am so proud of myself for stepping out of my comfort zone again. I was able to tell people about my self-published books and my design business! And to soak in the sight of so many talented authors just like me made me feel that I am not alone on this writing journey. We’ve gone through grit and grind to publish and market our books

Who is Mageia Unknown?
If nothing else catches your attention when you meet Mageia Unknown, it better be her eyes! Purple since the day her mama gave birth to her, her eyes are the reason why she must stay hidden in the Kingdom of Ardania. In this kingdom located on the northwest side of the Realm of Valeera, people can only be one of two titles. Fair or Strange. If you’re born Fair and stay this way, you are considered physically and mentally well and favored by the gods. But if you’re born Stra

An Obstacle Every Christian Writer Face
Being a Christian, a believer in Jesus Christ, many people expect you to write only Christian stories. You may get the feeling that people would judge you based off what you write. Well, let me put your mind at ease. People – no matter who they are – WILL judge you based off what you write. And people do expect Christians to stay in their lane. Ha you thought I was going to tell you otherwise! But I want to encourage you today, if you are a Christian writer who enjoy writing

Poem – The Jesus Time
You ask and wait For that moment when all you’ve asked comes. You seek and still seek Until all hope seems to be gone. You knock until your hand bleeds you think no one is home. But remember our time is not His time. He did pour out his blessings upon you. But you must be patient keep praying keep asking keep seeking keep knocking because when that time comes you probably would not notice until after you’ve finished smiling. Then you’d know that he had answered not when y

Writing Is Fun… But It’s Tough
Right now, I have a few works-in-progress despite everyone telling me to focus on one. However, I cannot help it , but I decided to listen! Recently, I self-published my new adult fantasy book, The Fairest , which I’ve been working on since 2017. And also for my MFA program, I wrote, created, and designed my psychological thriller of short short stories titled Stuck (released on May 14, 2022). And from these experiences, I’ve learned the ins and outs on self-publishing a b

What Writing Mean to Me
Every time someone asks me this question “What does writing mean to you?” I always say freedom. I can’t help but to say freedom. In our world today we are sometimes oppressed to give our opinions or forced into a bubble where we have to accept the every day norm and be like everyone else. Well, I am not like everyone else. Instead of entrapping my mind from exploring and learning, I release it. I allow my imagination and my curiosity to take me on journeys I will never forge

Who’s the Fairest Amongst Us All?
The excitement is REAL! To me, writing a book is the easy part. Once you decide you’re ready to publish it and share it with the world, that’s when the hard part kicks in. My debut young adult fantasy book, The Fairest , underwent at least 10 full revisions (including copyediting and proofreading) before I ended with the final version. Then there’s the prep and the research for publishing a book that has to be done at the same time so when things start moving, everything wo

New Website
Hey have you checked it out yet? I have learned over the years that it is important for a professional and/or a creator to have a platform where people can find them and their work.

Well, I sure hope I did good this time with my website. Last month I began transitioning my website here on WordPress to the one I

The Fairest Journey Update
I am on my way to self-publishing my Young Adult Fantasy Fiction book called The Fairest. Here is a quick update on what’s been happening behind the process. Last night, I did more edits on Book One. I’m feeling very happy about this scene change that I’ve done. I’ve been changing and adding scenes this week, but this one I feel would help develop Mageia’s character. My beta readers are doing such an amazing job with pointing out plot holes and character holes and raising gr
