I wear a lot of hats.

In addition to being a blogger and writing a book column for Hope for Women magazine, I’m also a speaker,  an editor and an award-winning author. I’ve published seven books for young adults and middle grade readers, and I’ve been blessed to serve as an editor for several New York Times, USA Today and Essence bestselling authors. Writing is my passion, and I love regularly sharing it with you. If you’re interested in adding one of my books to your collection, this is the perfect weekend. I’m giving away Book 1 of  My Worth the Wait series, The Pledge, for free from July 1 to July 5. You read it right: It’s free.

It’s just my small way of saying thank you to readers for helping me to find my way back to my passion. (That’s a blog post for another day.)

About the Book
Raised in a strict household, sixteen-year-old Courtland Murphy never had a date. But that was before the guy of her every dream—basketball star Allen Benson—asked her out. She’s gone from never-been-kissed to dating the hottest guy in school. And now her new boyfriend is pressuring her to prove she loves him—by having sex. But as a member of her community’s Worth-the-Wait club, Courtland made a vow to stay a virgin. Now everyone—from friends to family to fellow club members—gives her different advice, from “do it!” to “you made a pledge, girl!” It would be so easy for Courtland to go all the way with Allen, but sometimes his charming personality leaves her wondering. Who knew being in love could be so confusing?
