In case you missed it, here's a Synopsis of my book Without Consent.

Is it possible to delve into the mind of a rapist?

Ever since he was younger, sex has always been a part of him, consensually or not. Little girls in the Catholic school twirling around on the playground with their pigtails flapping in the muggy air enticed him until he pulled them into the darkest part of the gym, empty classroom or where ever he could be alone with them. He re-creates what a family member has done to him millions of times in his own bedroom. Now as a successful and attractive family man the past has come back to take residence again.

I did not consent to this…

Her mother warns her. They echo through twenty-eight year old Nia Johnson’s mind as she is taken from the running trail as though she never existed. In his mind they share a deep relationship with each other and she is madly in love with him as he is with her. His eyes hold a passion that even her long time boyfriend has never shown her; tattooing themselves forever in her memory bank. Those same blue eyes that blazes down on her become her eyes the nights that follows. She stands witness to his sick addiction through her dreams only to have those same nameless faces appear on the front pages of the newspaper under the words ‘Another Murder’. Nia’s mind, by force, becomes dark as ruined film. An unbreakable armor covers her heart. She assumes all of the stress from keeping this a secret is making her physically sick. Something told her to visit the nearest twenty-four hour convenience store to buy of all things, a pregnancy test to prove her fears are just in her head. The two pink lines show bright on the stick almost mocking her. Nia has never run so fast in her life as the day she runs to the abortion clinic. A Higher Power has other plans, its name, Crystal, her baby sister.

Three years later a familiar stranger heads over the department Nia wants to manage. Uneasiness settles in every time he is around but she can’t put her finger on as to why. The faces of women start to appear on the front pages again and her nightmares returns but fuzzy. When her son stands next to his youngest son it looks like a mirror is placed in front of him and those five minutes once again comes flooding back full force. Nia has craved for this opportunity to come face to face with her rapist. Now that he is actually touchable she feels powerless. Sensing this he plays on her emotions. A game of cat and mouse ensues. One by one he takes a liking to torturing anyone close to her until the last eightball stands alone cornered. An unexpected pawn comes into the equation. His wife, who knew about her husband’s sick obsession, refuses to let Nia ruin what her husband has worked so hard to create, unbeknownst to him. Some secrets are better left unsaid. But whatever is done in the dark will come to light. She sets up a mock meeting in their old hometown of Atlanta to finish the job her husband should have finished. Leaving Nia for dead she enters the plane to be home before her husband gets off of work. Bonnie and Clyde is shown in its truest form. Her plan is squashed when the Atlanta police catch her, arresting her for attempted murder as well as fifteen other murders before lift off.
Without Consent is the psychological thriller that keeps you guessing and turning the pages to contagious characters, suspense, and a chilling plot that will have you asking, what would you do.

Please everyone pray for the people in Haiti. Do anything you can include praying.

Still working

Still writing an outline for the sequel to Without Consent. It's getting good too, this one is definitely going to be taken to the next level. I've just set out my completed ms. to City Stone Publishing like they requested. Hopefully I dotted my I's and crossed all my t's. They said it will be about month before I hear anything. Keep your fingers crossed.

What a relief…now I’m going to need me to focus!

Whew! I've had my first talk with a publisher and I can now say that I was nervous as hell. I really do hope that I've impressed them somewhat. Shout out to City Stone Publishing because she represents everything I am looking for in a publisher. So even if they are not feeling my manuscript still support them cause they are doing great things. And this is not in the hopes that they read this and think I'm sucking up to them, no, I just am proud of my people doing the damn thang, ya dig!

Sequel

Recently I've came to the conclusion that Without Consent needs a part 2. The ending just ended with some questions unanswered so I'm going to answer them for you! Ta-Ta for now.

advice

Some advice that helped me along this journey is to get yourself out there. Look for different contests or get a subscription to the Literary Market so you can get inside information. Start a blogsite like I did. Yeah I know I haven't been published yet but it was hard as hell to get this far so I don't want others to go through all of the headaches. Although I was content with it all cause I knew that I had a talent. Cocky ain't I, gotta luv it.

excitigews

I got a unexpected well I'm lying, I did expect this but I guess I was take a back, Anywho I got a email saying that a publishing company wants me to talk with the CEO about my finished book. I can't get too excited because I'm not sure if this is it or am I still in the process of being critiqued but whatever it is I'm grateful. That goes to show to anyone do you. Life is too short for you to waste it on impressing others and making yourself miserable because you are not doing what you truly are passionate about. Keep at it, it will happen. Thank you God.

2010

Wow another year! 2010! And shame on me for not writing anything on my blog. Been a little busy with the holidays I'm for sure everyone understands. I'm ready to get back focusing again. Hope everyone had a nice and safe holiday. My prayers go out to those who did not.

I'm working on my latest as you all know. I'm a little stuck so I think I'm going to rewrite that scene cause I'm really not feeling it.

Keep your fingers and toes crossed!

Whew! Yes I was I hiatus but I set out some more letters to some agents. Keep your fingers and toes crossed! Ta-Ta!
