Review: You Gotta Read
Back Story
The first book I wrote was a historical interracial romance called Deeper. At the time, I’d been reading historicals and come across several bad ones. My sister and I were in the bookstore, and I was complaining about the state of books, when my sister said, “If you don’t like what’s out there, write your own.” My first attempt at writing a full length novel wasn’t very good. The story concept was great, but my execution left much to be desired. I began studying the craft and went in to “fix” my original manuscript Deeper, but was quickly overwhelmed. I didn’t want to write the same book over, another idea had come to me. I’d take the heroine from Deeper and change her up a little and put her in a different situation. That situation was Journey’s End.
