January 2011

WELCOME
2011 Scripture
The foundation of God stands sure, having this seal, the Lord knows them that are His.
Let every man who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.


My 2011 tour schedule includes these conferences:
RT Booklovers Convention in Los Angeles, CA; Romance Slam Jam in Baltimore, MD; and Faith and the Fiction Retreat in Ponte Verda Beach, FL.
Congratulations to reader Kimberly Knox (Louisville, KY) who pre-ordered her copy of Crowning Glory. She received a 2011 Crowning Glory journal and magnet calendar. If you would like a free journal, valued at $10, forward me a copy of your receipt and receive a Crowning Glory journal. The offer ends January 31, 2011.
On a lighter note OR heavier one, depending on how many slices of pecan pie I had, I'm working with a personal trainer. Courtney is confident he can assist me with losing ten pounds--scratch that...maybe it's twelve pounds by now because of a recent gift of cookies. Unfortunately, the treadmill got the best of me this week. I limped out of the gym and I had to grip both railings to go down the stairs at home. I was MIA at the gym for two days until Courtney called. What was I thinking when I gave him my number? I'm back to wimp boot camp next week.

Get ready for the Tollivers.
My best book ever!

Cinderella had a prince; Karyn Wallace has a King.
For the die-hard Jamieson fans, thanks for the emails expressing your impatience for more books in the Guilty series. LOL. More is coming, But it takes time to get Grandma BB out of trouble; keep Malcolm's hands off of Hali; and ensure Parke and Cheney overcome any obstacles in their way.

BUT you will not be disappointed with Crowning Glory. Book store sales rep only order enough books based on the demand.
I have two goals with this book: have 100 reviews posted on Amazon and have readers from 50 cities to purchase a copy of Crowning Glory. Until then happy reading this month's tease.

WELCOME
3 John 1:2: Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.



It's official. I've gained weight as a result of a very Happy Thanksgiving. Now I have twice as much baggage to shed. There goes my double slices of pecan pie, extra helpings of dressing and all my other favorite dishes that I had plan to eat on Christmas. Maybe, I'll inhale first.

I have some exciting news. My testimony "If I Should Die Before I Wake," will be included in an upcoming anthology, Keeping the Faith, edited by Essence bestselling author Vanessa Miller. It's being released in February 2011, right in time for Black History month. I'll have books for sale on my website and will donate 15% of each sale to charity. More on that later. FOOTNOTE: Please remember Vanessa's mother in your prayers. She is hospitalized.

Don't forget to pre-order your copies of Crowning Glory in December to receive free full color Crowning Glory journals, complete with 2011 calendars. Proof of purchase is needed via email or snail mail. The deadline is December 10th if you want them in time for Christmas.

My prayer is may God bless you this Christmas and holiday season, so that you may bless others. Until next year, take Jesus with you. If you can't, don't go.
