This book was a RIDE. I finished it this morning, and I've decided I am a big fan of Rivers Solomon's work. So interior, Black, and character driven, but they balance that with how the characters interact with their world, and it all just plays out so beautifully in the mind's eye. 4.5/5. #BookSky
Just started SORROWLAND by Rivers Solomon and am curious to see where it goes. Anyone read? #BookSky

You ever be so excited you cannot focus?

That is me today. And I'm grateful.

This John P. Kee Tiny Desk got me listening to some Vanessa Bell Armstrong. I was today years old when I I realized her "Pressing On" was written and produced by Jonathan Butler and the same producer who did his hit "Sarah Sarah." BABY, I HEAR IT!!!

Music Supervisor me picked that immediately!

A local bookstore has said they will take a few of my books on consignment and, well, that is my joy for the week!

The best and worst part about being a Capricorn is that you can’t even spiral and crash out. Cause every single thing you want to tell yourself, your brain be there like, “Well, actually, that’s a lie.”

Absolutely can’t beat the Winans. Still unmatched in time and tone. 😮‍💨
Teddy Riley has really produced some of my favorite Gospel and R&B songs and artists, ever. It actually is really crazy. Cause I forgot how hard this song hit!? The Winans, man.

Them Winans. #MusicSky

Apparently, the latest idea is one of speculative fiction, and well. Sure. Let's get it.

I just be writing.

Did NOT know Patti LaBelle did a cover of Taylor Dane's "Love Will Lead You Back" and NOR did I know Diane Warren wrote that song -- but in hindsight, that makes sense, LOL.
