I am Untamed and just like my name, my reading list and writing is untamable! I read anything I can get my hands on, but I will say that I’m impartial to Women’s fiction and Urban Literature. My written novels cover a wide array of genres: Poetry, Urban Fiction, Women’s Fiction, Action, Romance and Erotica. I’d also like to dive into Suspense and Christian Fiction. I think every genre has a unique story to tell that we all can draw from.
Excerpt from my newest release, Before Ever After:
Hmm Mmm. I already knew where this was going. “So I assume this double date is a ploy to get me to go out with Jamison.”
Peering up from her Cobb salad, she smirked. “The fact that you remember his name months later lets me know, you’re interested.”
“Ha!” I wagged my finger. “No, it lets you know that I am good at remembering names. Girl, please. That was months ago as you said. I’m sure that man hasn’t even thought twice about me, and I’m positive he has someone by now.”
“So that’s why he asks me about you every time he sees me.” She put her hand up. “And before you try to come back with a smart comeback, he more than asks about you. He wants to know if you’re still single. He’s not asking that for no reason.”
Crossing my arms, I giggled. “Good. Let him know that I still am. Problem solved.”
“I swear to God you are such a…butthole!” She shook her head. “Bout to make me curse in God’s name! Ugh! Nik. You get on my nerves. If you want to be an old maid, be my guest.
