Come Tomorrow a short story  —-  In COME TOMORROW, a novella by Gloria Mallette, Karla Bently, after 15 years, is forced to come back home to confront her past in the eyes of the daughter she never knew.  Check it out!

Writing remains my passion.  I am now hard at work on my next book, Shh! Don’t Tell which will be out in 2011.

Finally SASSY!  It took a while but SASSY is now available. Order your autographed copy from the SASSY page, or order from Amazon.com.  If not online,  please order through your local bookstore.

Who is Sassy? A successful romance novelist, Sassy Davenport is a woman looking to fulfill her own romantic fantasy. When the man of her dreams steps right out of the pages of her latest novel, Butterfly, Sassy falls madly in love with him.  But what evil lies behind Norris Yoshito’s beautiful eyes and sexy smile? Is the man of Sassy’s dream a serial killer of women who made the mistake of trusting him just as Sassy did?  When Sassy finds herself  caught up in a nightmare of deception and danger, she has to keep her suspicions to herself or fall victim to a heartless killer who sees her death as the ultimate act of revenge

June 2007 marked my return to the self-publishing arena with my ninth novel LIVING, BREATHING LIES. (Check out the video on Page 4).  As with all of my stories, you’re in for a dramatic, emotional read.

I have to tell you, I am very excited because Living, Breathing Lies placed as a Winner in the USA Book News Best Book 2007 Awards in African American Fiction; Winner in the 2008 National Indie Excellence Award; and as well placed as # 9 on MosaicBooks.com as a best seller for 2007.

As always, I am most appreciative of those readers who continue along with me on my literary journey.  To all  the fabulous readers out there, and as well the ladies and gents of the many book clubs who continually stand my me, much, much love.  Although I often can’t make it to your book club meetings in person, I can certainly make it online or by telephone.  Please continue to email me with the date and time of your next meeting.

In My Opinion:

 

                                                                                                  MICHELLE  OBAMA

I wish hateful people would leave Michelle Obama alone.  I have seen online such cruel things said, by people who probably didn’t vote for  Barack Obama, about this fabulous woman.  Like so many, I have never met Michelle, but if  grace under fire had a name, it would be Michelle Obama. Instead of people looking at the beauty she is, they pick at what they think makes her ugly.  Mind you, it’s all physical.  We see this over and over again, yet some ignorant people never seem to learn.  For one thing, Michelle is far from ugly. Actually, she is quite striking in her beauty.  High arched brows, big wide smile, keen bright eyes, and a figure that so many women would kill for.  Michelle is regal yet she is down to earth.  She is tall yet she doesn’t look down on anyone.  She is highly educated yet she speaks with the humblest of man.  While Michelle can style with the best of them, I’ve seen her as casually dressed on the White House lawn as if she were you or me.  And if  Michelle’s well-behaved daughters  are an indication of the kind of mother Michelle is, those who criticize her should instead applaud her.  Sasha and Malia have chores to do in the White House.  Can’t people see that Barack Obama, as awesome as he is, can only have a woman who, in her own right, is just as awesome?

 

                                                                                                      SUSAN BOYLE

Like so many in the world I have viewed the Susan Boyle Britain’s Got Talent video a number of times. Why am I and so many others looking more than once at this Youtube phenomenon?  Could be because we see a real Cinderella story play out before our eyes?  Could it be that we cheer Susan on and shed tears of joy because we see a “regular” person that so many overlooked see her dream a reality?  Or could it be that we see ourselves in Susan Boyle?  So many have given up their dreams of stardom or success because naysayers have trampled on their hopes and told them they couldn’t do or be.  Susan Boyle may have had to be prodded to audition for the competition,  but believe me, there are those who knew Susan had that wonderful voice who could have gotten her to step out onto the world stage years before. It says so much about our societies, the world over, when we dismiss talent that is not wrapped up in a beautiful face and a gorgeous figure. When will we learn that this outer shell that God has wrapped  us up in  is not the true measure of a man or woman?  It’s the heart, it’s the soul of man that lingers long after the flesh has grown old and  decomposed.  Beauty has its place, but talent has the glory.
