FOR MY KINDLE / NOOK / EBOOK / GOODREADS LOVERS

On what was supposed to be a normal Tuesday, Dr. Natalee Morgan’s world is forced into reverse by the literal uninvited presence of a love long forgotten – she thought. This is the story of love that broke her heart into pieces that, over the years, have been difficult to glue back together. 

On the surface Natalee wanted to repress all memory of that time. Lock them in a chest, chain bricks to it and throw it in the sea; but there was one thing that prevented her from totally forgetting - her diary. She wanted to burn it so many times, but, as with diaries, it documented good times and not so good times. And now, in the midst of investigating a harassment and discrimination case, she is forced to relive those good and not so good moments. 

 A State of Affairs: Deception 

is Book 2 of my Earl Grey Chronicles Series in which Dr. Natalee Morgan is the top investigator for The Honorable Congresswoman Constance Abraham of Georgia. Natalee is a retired Chief Petty Officer in the United States Navy. In Book 1, Uninvited Memories. Because of her experience with the Navy she has been assigned to investigate a letter received from the mother of a sailor onboard the USS GREENWOOD LAKE. The letter urges Congresswoman Abraham to aggressively investigate harassment and discrimination that has been directed towards her son. As she begins her investigation in State of Affairs: Deception, Dr. Morgan encounters three issues. First, how is she to react to the sudden appearance of an old love who broke her heart 20+ years ago? Second, how does she find answers when they are hidden all over a United States Navy vessel? The third and most disconcerting…nothing is ever as it seems.  

A State of Affairs: REVELATION is Book 3 of my Earl Grey Chronicles Series in which Dr. Natalee Morgan is the top investigator for The Honorable Congresswoman Constance Abraham of Georgia. Natalee is a retired Chief Petty Officer in the United States Navy. Because of her experience with the Navy she has been assigned to investigate a letter received from the mother of a sailor onboard the USS GREENWOOD LAKE. 

With every document, every newspaper clipping, and every photograph touched by Dr. Natalee Morgan, Nancy, and Lieutenant Zackery Wilson, the investigation aboard the USS GREENWOOD LAKE became a complex puzzle with pieces that didn't quite fit together. She knew she needed to trust her instincts, confront her past, and navigate the labyrinthine secrets hidden throughout the passageways of the GREENWOOD LAKE in order to uncover the truth. As she faced these challenges head-on, she couldn't help but wonder if Commander Scott’s reappearance is just another layer of the mystery, and if he held the skeleton key to unlock the secrets hidden, not only within the heart of this navy vessel…but her heart as well.

 More than 100 years ago, a group of musicians, artists, poets and authors started a movement that would influence history and African American culture for years to come. Today, 12 authors have joined forces to honor the trailblazers of the Harlem Renaissance with A New Renaissance. This beautifully written collection of original fiction, ranging from children's to contemporary by both new and established authors, will make you laugh, cry, and even shout out loud. But most of all, it will make you proud that the griot tradition lives on and is here to stay. 

Thanks Much

I loved Mama’s house. When I was really young my sisters and I were the only children. Eventually, my cousins came along and every summer that little house hugged four adults and a bunch of children. Some of us slept with our aunts or grandmother, but most of us slept on “pallets” on the floor. Contrary to what you might think, it was a comfortable pile of blankets, sheets and a pillow. We were normally there during the summer, so it wasn’t cold at night. 

Those summers were full of fun and adventure. I learned how to cut wood for the wood heating stove and cooking stove. That stove made the best cornbread, fried chicken, greens, pinto beans, cakes, pies and anything else Mama decided to cook on it! I remember watching her cook food that was plain but more delicious than any restaurant. 

This little book will tell you the rest of the story about my grandmother's cooking and stories of other grandmothers.
