I’ve just returned from a month-long trip to Europe.

I’m currently on sabbatical in Arizona writing the follow up to Harlem’s Awakening.

I’m also secretly watching many episodes of Law & Order and helping my mom fix stuff around the house; so that means climbing on the roof to fix the swamp cooler, repairing gutters and watering her garden.

I am a true renaissance woman.
