One Black Rose
One of three Black Roses, we grew up on the west side of Detroit, Mi. Born to the Black Rose at the bottom of this page we have grown into quite beautiful Roses if I say so myself.
I went to Cody High school and then on to Marygrove College. I majored in Art and minoring in Art History. I received a bachelors degree with a 3.5 gpa. After looking for a job in anything art I ended up at an airline working as a Flight Attendant. I began writing when I was in the fourth grade. However at age 20, I decided to try and make a real go of it. After 20 more years of writing, Dark Reflections was born. I also recently received a certificate of creative writing from Interlochen Academy of Arts.
After completing Dark Reflections, the flood gates of my mind opened wide and writing became a passion. Soon after that A through Zack came fourth, then In The Footsteps of a Killer and the sequel, Through the Eye's of a Killer.
My novels all have a familiar theme to them as they all are set in whole or in part in Detroit. They have strong black women (roses) characters, some have white love interest or white antagonist. Don't get it twisted there are some brothers in there too but in my other world it's a mixed bag of people. Just like the real world. Two short stories one in The Horrorzine Magazine and one in a collection called Creative Differences. A full novel published by a new company, (At the time) Artistic Words Publishing, which unfortunately went under and a few self published. (Had no clue what I was doing with that.)
I create worlds where people are people and the strange and the ghostly rule. All my novels are looking for home at this point as I am in an active search for a book agent who likes to be scared. They may contain some content that may be offensive to some and for that I apologize. I can only write them as they come to me if I am to be true to this craft. By the way here is the Rose that started it all, my mom. She has made her transition but is always present in our hearts and in our minds and in our very lives. Like all roses we have leaves and thorns. It's always been family affair and it will always be. Say "Hi" if you see us. And let's not get it twisted about this either, I'm a Catholic with a strong belief in God. I write my horror to honor Him and to show you that when you believe, God will come through. Sometimes the answer is no.
