Hello, my beautiful bad bishes!

Long time no speak. I apologize for both my distance and this wild subject line. But…it’s literally true. I’ve been lightly promoting my upcoming novel, Tuesday’s Blues, and nothing was really hitting. Not the plot description. Not the cover art. Not the characters. It wasn’t until I posted a spicy little comic that will be included inside the book that people seemed to get “it”.

Is the entire book about vampires gleefully feasting on their situationships? No. It’s actually about the dangers of apathy, of seeking comfort through intimacy to hide emotional pain, and of letting your dreams mutate into nightmares. But if a little vampire smut is what it takes for people to get into Tuesday’s Blues, so be it!

You can pre-order for Kindle here. And hardcovers here.

Check out the rest of the comics on my Instagram! Share them in your stories, repost them, comment…everything helps!

My Black Girl Book Fair is two weeks away…ahhhh! We’ve hit over 10K followers on our Instagram account, and are less than 40 tickets away from 7,000! Can you imagine 7,000 readers in one space? I’m genuinely so excited, and I appreciate every single person who has played any part in this fair.

Dripped in Lit will be hosting a Bookish Baddie Kickback in Atlanta on April 25th! Enjoy an afternoon of bottomless mimosas, vendors, music, giveaways, and more…including my books! 🤸🏾

This event is the same day as my virtual Book Fair, and part of our live interviews and activities will be streamed at the event!

Black Writers Weekend has been going on tour! They’re bringing their literary festivities to six US cities this year. They’ve got vendors, incredible speakers, and are even streaming a documentary. Take a look at what they have to offer!

This email was more like a commercial break. But we’ll be back to expressing feelings and analyzing cartoons next week.

Thank you, everyone, for rocking with me. I appreciate it more than you know.
