Hello Everyone,

I know it's been extremely quiet here. I'm writing and traveling quite a bit. I have the kiddos running around and it's only June! (smile) I've had events in three cities for the past couple of weeks. My car and I have rolled nearly 1500 miles all for the sake of Black Diamond. And I believe its worth it...don't you?

This weekend will be yet another city and another event. We will be in Austin, Texas at the Austin African American Book Festival AND you can catch me online on the author's panel at SORMAG's 2nd Annual Online Book Fair. So, I will be talking with readers, signing books, and chatting with readers and writers online.

You're invited (as always) to join me...us...for one or both of this great events this weekend.

Happy Reading,

Ja'Nese

I am working nearly nonstop. It's difficult when you work full time but you'd love to write full time. :o(

I thought I'd blog briefly with an update on everything.

WORKING

The writers boot camp is almost done. I hope to have a few authors participate but the show will go on. I want this to be a great summer writing experience for me. The kids will be traveling and I'd like to maximize my writing time. Doing it with YOU would make it a lot of fun.

WRITING

I am finishing a nonfiction book. I have also tinkered with a short story or two to add to the website. They are a few of my favorite short shorts or flash fiction pieces. I will announce it to the newsletter as soon as they hit the website.

WATCHING...& WONDERING

I'm watching the peaks and valleys of my ebooks in Kindle. To the right is the one of the peaks for Black Diamond. My crazy mind is really trying to figure this all out.

What makes people gravitate to a title?

What motivates people to leave reviews?

Are the same people buying the other titles?

I believe #31 is the lowest it's been on the list. Now, I'd love to see it place in other categories of romance. We'll see...

I thought I'd swing by Amazon before turning off my internet connection. And what did I see?

I am doing my happy dance knowing that the numbers change hourly. Regardless, I'm going to celebrate this small victory and keep writing. Thank you again. I am going to shut off my internet and get back to work. Night!

I am dancing around my office. Why? I'm in the Top #100 in Kindle.

Yiiipppeeee!!!!!

I probably should pour my cup of coffee down the drain because this much excitement this early in the morning is NOT good for me. Actually...it is. It's fantastic.

Thank you!

Now back to work I go!

Black Diamond is becoming more popular on Kindle. Are you the one making that possible? If so, thank you.

My ranking is rising...or is it declining....either way it's improving. I thank you all. I'm excited about the projects I'm working on. I've also connected with an awesome editor.

If you don't have your copy of Black Diamond, get it today. Details are here.

I am almost ready to share my short synopsis for African Emerald. In the meantime, I plan to share some of my inspiration while writing. I use several techniques but the one that I most is enjoy is creating a soundtrack for my book. A soundtrack? Yes, a soundtrack. (smile)

I am starting today by showing you a video that helps to identify with the main character, Talib Kamwi. I first introduced Talib to readers in Black Diamond. (Don't have a copy? Order it on Amazon.)
"Bad Man" by R. Kelly


I will leave you with a thought. What would it take for you to believe that a bad man has changed?

I would love to read your comments.
