@janecurrylee Thanks again to you, June and Felicia of Sistahs Book Club of San Diego for hosting me this past Saturday at the Valencia Park Malcolm X Library.

I had a great time as a panelist at the 12th Annual Fall Into Fiction Conference, hosted by the United California African American Bookclubs (UCAAB) in Long Beach, CA. I spoke about my novel Dorothy Jones A Jazz Age Trip Through Oz and my series La Rose Le Baton Chronicles, as well as sharing my experiences on writing and life. I met many great authors, ingesting their stories, journeys, and life lessons. Many thanks to the UCAAB members, who embraced me and made me feel at home. It was a spectacular event.

I just read an excellent essay on www.onshegoes.com by Nadia Alexis entitled: Without Language: A Haitian American Experience, chronicling Nadia's experience as the child of Haitian parents, attempting to connect with her roots and the native language of Kreyol. Beautifully written!!! I encourage you to read it. It is thought provoking, illustrating how we see ourselves in contrast to how others perceive us – igniting our will and resolve to embrace whom we are. http://www.onshegoes.com/stories/without-language-a-haitian-american-experience/ #sandiego #bookaholic , #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booklovers #paranormal #bookslut #bookaddict #bookaddiction #goodblackreads #blackliterature #blacklit #blackwriters #books #summerreading #blackbookclub #blackbookstagram @nadialovestocreate #nadiaalexis @onshegoes

I picked up a can of #cafedumonde coffee at World Cost Market. Before I knew it, the can was empty. Someone drank all my coffee! I suspect I’m the culprit. So, while shopping at #wholefoods, lo and behold – Café du Monde! However, there was a catch. It contained #chicory. It’s not that I hate chicory, because I don’t. Yet, I must be in the mood for it. I told my mother, a #louisiana native, about my dilemma. Her reply: “Why aren’t you drinking #communitycoffee? We always drank Community at home." Coffee Dilemma: Café du Monde or Community? Chicory or without chicory? How do you take your coffee? #bookaholic , #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booklovers #paranormal #bookslut #bookaddict #bookaddiction #goodblackreads #blackliterature #blacklit #blackwriters #books #summerreading #blackbookclub #blackbookstagram #familysaga #neworleans #laroselebatonchronicles #coffee #expresso #comiccon

I began reading Just Above My Head by #jamesbaldwin awhile ago, but never finished. I will move this up in the rotation, once I complete Black, White & Jewish by #rebeccawalker.
