Look for Until the Next Time and The Camp to hit the bookstores in January.

Until the Next Time is a journal written by Sonia Marlon, and you will get the opportunity to take a sneak peek at her thoughts as she chronicles her escapades in her diary. She struggles with her weight, skin color, and relationships. Sonia is married but is looking for love on the other side of town. Her husband battles with work inside and out of the bedroom. It seems like their storybook marriage turns into a horror story after he makes her faucet go dry. The clock is ticking like a time bomb. There is more to this journal than meets the eye. You will be introduced to international love affairs, violence or homicide or crime, and romance. As one reader states: “There is enough drama for your mama in this book.”

The Camp is a novel that delves into another world that exists inside our society. You’ll meet beautiful Taneal who is returning to the dating scene after experiencing an abusive relationship. She meets her African Prince Tariq. What Taneal doesn’t know is that Tariq is not the man she thinks he is. He is involved with a group that is about absolute power and mind control. Absolute power corrupts absolutely! You will witness the true strength of love and how love conquers all. This is not a romance novel; but it is a novel about a father’s love. As one reader states: “I could not believe that people like this exist. With all the twists and turns in this book I couldn’t put it down.”

“Reading a book is like re-writing it for yourself. You bring to a novel, anything you read, all your experience of the world. You bring your history and you read it in your own terms.”
Quote from Angela Carter 1940-1992, British Author.
