This is late, no doubt about it. Been dealing with a bit of stuff behind the scenes. Need to be able to be more consistent with these posts. The month is nearly over, and I'm just being able to post something. Definitely need to work on that...
The month of May brings you a few anniversaries. The first is the six-year publishing anniversary of my novel "Seductra, Web of Desire" (CreateSpace, 2017). I always did love this project. I love the pacing of it, as well as the overall storyline. I think that the characters are pretty well rounded, and well developed. It's a damn shame that people continue to sleep on this particular project.
ALSO in the month of May...it the one-year publishing anniversary of my latest literary project "Second Chance Points" (Kindle Direct Publishing, 2022).
This was a supreme labor of love. It officially become one year old on May 6th. I'm straight cheesing like a proud papa. Trying to do what I can to gain some sort of traction for it. This time around, I actually emailed two women's basketball leagues (the GWBA, and the WABA) a FREE digital copy of the book. Also added a men's bball league into the mix, as well (The Basketball League), so here's to hoping that the emails have an impact on my sales, and the popularity of the book.
I was hoping to make it to this Black comic con that I had just discovered that existed out here in Raleigh. The con is called Sable Con, and ran from May 20th-21st. I was supposed to be scheduled off that weekend from my blasted day job, but got scheduled to come in that weekend because my fuck ass coworker doesn't know how to mf come to work anymore. Of course, I been told them to fire his nonworking ass months ago, but...wtf do I know?!?!? This would have been a perfect opportunity for me to get out there, and network with some local creatives, and just plane get tf out in public. I haven't been able to attend/enjoy any type of cultural events since I moved out here almost 2 years ago bc of these wack ass jobs. This is seriously starting to kill my vibe... 😡😡😡😡😕😕😕😕
Still trying to organize my Black/Brown Bookstore Book Tour. My issue is still mobility. It sucks, not being able to drive. Don't really wanna come outta pocket for a bus ticket, or train ticket, but I may not have much of a choice...not if I want to finally do this tour. I'll keep you posted...
That's all for now. Hope to see you guys next month. Hope to be a little better about posting this ish on time.
Keep the fist raised!!!
