A F R I C A N A M E R I C A N C H R I S T I A N F I C T I O N A U T H O R how it

began

I was an avid reader. In fact, I would say “I like the drama in my books and not in my life”. My dream of being a writer faded away because I was told that I would be a starving artist and would not be able to take care of myself if I wrote books. So I went to college but I maintained my love for reading. Fast forward some years, my pastor told me if I would throw out all of my books God had a blessing for me. ( I had ZANE and autographed Eric Jerome Dickey’s books, you name it I had it.) I cried but I did what she said. For a couple of years, I stop reading. Which honestly wasn’t bad because I was convicted in my spirit after bible study. I was reading street fiction and erotica after praying God would deliver me from a sin-filled. One day while preparing for a flight I was looking for something to read. I found Christian Fiction and fell so deep in love with it that I started a blog. In a very short time (like months) my blog caught the eye of a publisher and my first book was published. I published 7 books with the company. In 2020 I started my own Press- Light and Salt Press LLC and began publishing as an independent author.

The Flawed but Faithful Series Walking Crooked with Christ

Jas’Mia knows God, but she also knows death, loneliness, struggle, and pain.

Jas’Mia thinks she has lost the love of her life, Bobby, to Shelby, the woman he has decided to marry. Jas’Mia seems to have

lost everything, but soon blessings appear. Carlos is everything a woman could want in a Godly man. Money falls like rain and washes her struggles away but doing the right thing is not easy to do when wrong feels right. Can Jas’Mia walk with Christ if her steps are crooked?

This was a well-written story of God's love and redemption. I enjoyed seeing Jas'Mia's progression throughout the book. Shelby was a real piece of work. I enjoyed this book as well as Rue's story. I am excited to see if there are more stories with this cast

of characters.

This book was about a woman who was

climbing the ladder of success without
