Show me your desk - books by Stylo Fantome, May Sage, London Miller and Ivy Asher


Back again after a break. So on the lower left handside of my desk is the money pot and a pen. Moving up is the stack of books I bought from the RARE 19 events. I bought books from Stylo Fantome, May Sage, London Miller and Ivy Asher - all of them gracious, beautiful and glamorously turned out. 

Most of the  authors were all beautiful women - so RARE19 it could have easily been a social media meet and greet event of Youtube beauty influencers and creatives, only with authors and their books. It was a glamorous event with a good feel atmosphere so you can see why fans flock. It's a real day out!

These are all new authors to me as I attended the event out of curiosity. Last year, I happened to come across an indie author's page who had a blog post on it, so I found out more details and went. 

There was no real method to buying the books, I just happened to arrive, and there where so many people so it was tables that really caught my eyes. The first was beautiful and glamorous Stylo Fantome and equally beautiful and glamorous her assistant. I approached the table and got talking to a fan who recommended a book which I bought.

After milling around, I had a chat with London Miller and her assistant. She explained what the term SAFE meant on Amazon, apparently it means no cheating. She also suggested two of her books, standalone so I got them.  Then I went to May Sage who also is stunning. She was talking to a friend who suggested what books I too. I'm not a big paranormal vamp fan so they gave me other suggestions - so I got her King of Ruin with is her first fantasy novel, and another novella Shy Girls Write Better. We got talking about book covers and she is very meticulous about her book cover process and she gets exclusive rights etc. Below is a picture I took for my post yesterday. 


Her friend had just finished a reverse harem series, which I'd never read - I mean the genre so the friend recommended Ivy Asher who she called the Queen of Reverse Harems. So I found myself at her table and she recommended one of her books to try out, which was April's Fool, a collaboration with another author.  I guess that was my book haul, all signed by the authors. 

Back to my desk, next is my pre-loved desk arranger which I recused from the bin. It had pens, a ruler, and some glue. Yes, my pen holder is gone, but I think this is much better suited. Beyond that coming down to the right hand side is a bottle of medicated mouth wash, a pencil sharpener, some face cream and a packet of tissues. After that is a sample toothbrush I got from my dentist. I'll try it out soon. Finally is my purple book which I just scribble notes in.

My African American & Black Love Romance Adventure Nearly Ready After Four Years.

Thanks for dropping by and taking the time to read this. This post is going to be about my upcoming black love and African American contemporary romance release, which I think tentatively will be late this year or early 2024. It will be a six-part serialised novel, and I'll reveal the date nearer the time. It has been five years since my last black love romance novel. I have two novellas published on Amazon, and I'm  pleased to finally say, I'm about to publish again. It's been a long time.  I planned to release this book in February 2019, but after a long writer's block and other things, it had taken me this long to complete it.  If you follow this blog on and off, I've spoken about it a lot over the years. I'm thinking maybe I should relabel those blog posts as a series of how it developed.  The Story Description The names have changed well from Angelica to Pippa but it's fine.  Everyone wants someone special but PIPPA MILLER thinks not her. She

Lost Four Pounds! Attended Pilates! Watched Patricia Bright

On Friday my boss got bored of me talking about my eating plan and how I only used my gym for the spa facilities, so let's just say I forced to put my money where my mouth was and ended up booking five exercise sessions. Yes, hard to believe I've been with my gym for over a year and have NEVER ATTENDED A GYM CLASS. Mainly, because I like the spa and thing food reduction is the way to lose weight also just thinking of exercise exhausts me. I needed to book them via the website but having never done it, my password failed so I rang, in front of my boss, the gym to book it. Proof. They are mainly low impact classes so nothing too strenuous or so I thought. Come Saturday, I'm down the gym for my pilates class with all these fit, slim and trendy people. It's a 9AM class so basically like a work day for me. I thought pilates was gentle. Not. I say this having done it for about three years in a dance school - yeah I was once about twenty pounds or ten kilos lighter - and the

HAPPY NEW YEAR - LET THE GOALS ROLL

Hello all. Happy New Year! So last year was awesome for me because I managed to achieve one goal. The biggest goal which was to get a new job. And that came with financial reward as well. Yay! It was hard, challenging, horrible. I hate change but I had to get out of the rut I was in. Dudes, I was desperate to move. So I dug deep, did my interview practice, attended a number of interviews and hit one. Yay. Now longer gaming. I didn't need the escapism with my new positive work environment. I also abandoned the iPhone family and went Android. To cut a long story short, I got bought an iPhone 8 but it was faulty - however Apple weren't transparent about their return policy - ALWAYS ASK ABOUT RETURN POLICY. Nor did they believe the phone was faulty. It was. Anyway I was so disgusted the arrogance of the 'apple people', I decided instead of getting a replacement to spend my money elsewhere. I'm still part of the Apple family. But the Apple Store sales assist
