My first book, Ooh Baby Compound Me, is a testimony to years of sacrifice trying to fulfill dreams while maintaining a swinging lifestyle in the fashion world. In 2010 I published fiction novel Wild Horses and her companion dating “how-to” book Love and Handicapping.
Since then it's has been a passionate affair with writing about characters I fall in love with and subjects that fuel my curiosity.

The Insurrectionist
|
Crime
Deni Daudov wasn’t just any immigrant; he had the American dream in the palm of his hands, so why would he turn that dream into a nightmare? On the surface American life was great, but once Deni started to sink below he found truths were well disguised lies, justice was a curtain of thinly veiled prejudices, idealistic faiths were rationalized, and the line between love and indifference was an easy one to cross. When the reality of Deni’s existence changed, he faced insurmountable challenges few could understand. There are times a young man must choose his fate. He can live a quiet life and be a digit in the American population, or he could take a stand against his perceived injustices and ultimately face grave consequences. The measure of a man’s life is what he makes it, and sometimes that measure is insurrection. Released 9/2013 Sample The Insurrectionist
