Hello Everyone,
TURN THE LIGHT ON WAS MY VERY FIRST PUBLISHED Short Story. I will never forget the feeling of relief that came with finally pushing it out into the world, and the joy is still there.
What impressed me the most about the book was the manuscript itself, the book cover, and the book trailer. All three elements present the strength of a southern black woman and touch on the reality of a daring and courageous woman that many people don’t see, thereby challenging the readers’ perspectives.
TURN THE LIGHT ON
Fear engulfed her. What if he was not only a counter-terrorist, but was also using her to launder money? Her hands shook as she considered the consequences of the mistakes she’d made and what could happen to her. She didn’t relish standing before a disbelieving judge trying to explain her stupidity.
Macey grunted, causing Della to uncross her legs and lean in closer to her boss’s desk. She had hoped Macey would simply speak her mind instead of grunting and bobbing her head back and forth, while examining her bank statements.
Never again will I forsake my principles because of a man with sad, lonely eyes.
Macey’ heavy sigh shattered Della’s thoughts. Della tensed, not knowing what to expect.
“Della, your story is preposterous. No…let me say it would be truly unbelievable if I hadn’t seen this with my own eyes. Macey pointed at the bank statements on her desk. “So, tell me what do you plan to do? Do you really think he’s the man that’s been depositing the money into your account? And how are you going to find him since you don’t even know him name, for heaven’s sake?”
TURN THE LIGHT ON is available on all Amazon outlets.
Have a lovely day and take care.
Shalom shalom
