Author Speaks with Sparkle Riley
Star is homeless and penniless. One threesome with her husband and her boss, changed her life forever. Star was thrown out into the streets, while her Boss London played wifey and mommy to her family. His mistress was driving her car and everything. Working together in a Clinic, made matters worse. What should she do? Or better yet, what would you do? Deciding to fight for her man or not. To kill London and catch a charge, was she worth it in the end?
What inspired you to write Let my husband go!: Star Part 6?
“Star” is a young lady with a rough past! This character has definitely been through somethings! Her best friend is murdered and the tragedies go on and on. With so many obstacles, most would have given up. But not Star, she’s back as a career woman, independent and stronger than ever.
Is this a standalone novel or apart of a series?
It’s part of my “Baby Mama From Hell” storyline.
How did you come up with the title and storyline?
It was just time! I wanted Star to be an inspiration to other single mothers. We all know that nothing is easy or free. When one door closes, another one will open when the time is right! Star is successfully co-parenting with her baby daddy now. Star has definitely changed for the better!
Can you tell us a little about the main character(s)?
Star takes up a trade and gets her first job! She has the best husband and protector! Her family is her prized possession. But working in a clinic with a bunch of bitter women, is not what she expected at all. Telling them about her private life backfires quickly. Her bisexual boss wants everything that Star has, including her! So her perfect life is turned upside again! It’s real bad this time, too. Star has to make the biggest decision of her life!
Do you think the cover art of your e-book/novel will persuade readers to read the story inside?
I think so. Star appears together and all. But if you look closely, you can see the hurt in her eyes. Star clearly appears to be going through somethings!
How much of the book is realistic? Are experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life?
It’s all realistic! Infidelity. Trust issues. Insecurities. Peer pressure. Life and death. Forgiveness or revenge. I think every man or woman has experienced at least one of these in their life. I know that I have. For this particular story, I put feelings into this. I literally put my heart into to. I had to be that character. The one my reader’s hated and the one’s they loved. I was the wife, mistress and the husband character
What was the hardest part about writing this book?
Honestly, for me the format. What I put in, was totally different from the finished product! I am still learning that one. I’ve come a long ways. Twenty one books later in a nine month period. But my last few to me, are my best work. Best, but not perfect! I just love what I do! To the point, I’m going to keep trying until I get it right.
Is there a message in your e-book/novel that you want your readers to grasp?
The storm shall pass in every situation. It can be gray skies one day and sunshine the next one. Just find yourself first and the rest will follow. We all go through things from time to time. That’s life. But it does and will get better. Just take it one day at a time!
Is there anything else you would like your/the readers to know about your book?
Follow me on Facebook & GoodReads! I tend to give my readers an up close and personal front seat to my future stories. I am always open to comments and honest reviews there. On Facebook, I answer any question that’s asked, honestly!
Additional Comments?
Mz. Jetson it’s always a pleasure to return! It’s still a learning process. I am always grateful for being able to have a voice here. What you do is awesome for self-publishers especially! Most of us are still unheard of. My journey has been short. I’m just finding my own way. All of my reviews, good and bad has been an enormous help. Being discouraged is never an option for me.

Author Speaks with Nataisha T. Hill
The Beginning of Donna’s Relationship with a Mogul gave her endless Butterflies
However, Butterflies can Become Parasites After Secrets, Disloyalty, and Lies
“Dirty Donna” is the name given to her by her new stepdaughter, Monica. Donna could care less about the childish name-calling due to her newfound circumstances. She is too elated by the fact that she is in love with the perfect man who happens to be a rich and brilliant business tycoon. Therefore, childish hazing from a spoil brat is beneath her. Nothing is going to stop her from having the man that she deserves.
Donna enjoys being lavished with diamonds, elegant dresses, and day spas as if she was a celebrity. Coming from the bottoms, the extravagant house, the expensive vacations, and fancy cars are everything that she dreamed of having. Although her husband Troy could be a bit controlling at times, Donna knows everyone has flaws. She knows that after a few months of marriage, she could change some of Troy’s arrogant views and order him to make Monica respect her.
Like many things in life, some luxuries come with a high price. Donna didn’t consider everything that she would have to sacrifice. Money, greed, and jealousy are toxic mixtures. There’s no such thing as an undo in life. Everyone reaches a point of no return.
If You enjoy Urban Romance with page-turning suspense and unpredictable plot twist, you’ll definitely enjoy this Urban Thriller!
What inspired you to write Days of Her Life?
I felt I needed a stand-alone book outside of the Partially Broken Never Destroyed Series.
Is this a standalone novel or apart of a series?
Stand-alone.
How did you come up with the title and storyline?
The title identifies with what the main character (Donna) experiences in a short period of time. The storyline stems from a vivid imagination.
Can you tell us a little about the main character(s)?
Donna is a young woman who had a rough childhood, but manages to keep herself afloat. She lands a rich businessman who seemingly makes all of her dreams come true. However, her new husband’s daughter hates her and tries to intervene in the worse way. Although Donna is determined to maintain her extravagant lifestyle, her stepdaughter is that much more determined to ruin it.
Do you think the cover art of your e-book/novel will persuade readers to read the story inside?
Absolutely.
How much of the book is realistic? Are experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life?
I feel every story has a bit reality in it. Even if it’s not an experienced situation, it’s the author’s idea or perspective of how a situation probably would be handled or has been handled indirectly or directly.
What was the hardest part about writing this book?
The hardest part is the tumultuous editing process.
Is there a message in your e-book/novel that you want your readers to grasp?
Actually yes. Be careful of what you do because the good or bad energy you put out in the Universe comes right back over to you.
Is there anything else you would like your/the readers to know about your book?
It’s a very entertaining read with plot twists that you wouldn’t expect.

Author Speaks with Latrese Riley
What can I say? My most popular book ever is back! Baby Mama is back! Starlet had her C- section and delivered! Big Mama, said it’s best to keep it a secret! Not, somebody owes her double child support now! Yes, our girl is finally a real Baby Mama this time! The question is, who’s the Baby Daddy? What would she do, if she didn’t know? Her pregnant bestie Nic comes back as her ride or die, that’s what’s up! Yes, I took it there!
What inspired you to write “Baby Mama From Hell Part 3!” Starlet is BACK!: World Premiere!?
I am a baby mama myself! I wanted to write an enjoyable read that people can relate to. Being a single mom or dad has good and bad days. Really all parent’s have rewards and challenges. I like to add personal touches in my books, so my readers can know a little more about me. I had a blast writing it. There were times, I laughed or cried! I couldn’t believe that I actually wrote the line, Lol! Writing is freedom of speech and you can freely express your art in any way that you like. I can be creative in all of my stories I enjoy that part of it the most! It’s so rewarding for me to be able to share my thoughts and ideas. As a New Author, there’s always more to learn and experience! There’s always room for growth with each book that I write!
Is this a standalone novel or apart of a series?
It’s part of a group. Part One was ” Baby Mama From Hell” my first book ever, Woop Woop! Part Two was ” Mommy, Daddy, Baby and Me”. I was feeling Halloweenish, so I created a Spinoff ” Granddaughter From Hell” staring the one and only, little Casmere Riley and her Grandma ” Gigi”. Now I am introducing ” Baby Mama From Hell Part 3!, y’all!
How did you come up with the title and storyline?
The title of course is based off of society’s perception! That’s all you hear about nowadays! That title trends everywhere! But for me, I decided to write about the day to day life of single parents. We have to balance work, family and our personal lives at one time. Trying to date, is no summer breeze, Lol. Each parent’s experience is very unique and different. Single mom’s face the same challenges as single dad’s. It doesn’t matter their race or origin, it’s just a way of life.
Can you tell us a little about the main character(s)?
I’m glad you asked! My main girl and baby mama ” Starlet” is something else! Part one, she was young and wild. Part 2, I made her more mature and independent. Gave her self-confidence and esteem, but it didn’t last too long. She’s back to her ghetto self in Part 3. Then there’s Tank. A single dad of possibly four, with three different baby mama’s and one ex- wife! He’s secretly bisexual and having an affair with his dad , who’s a Pastor and openly bisexual. His wife is a beautiful Transvestite! He was a thug and definitely was ready to have any babies. He loved partying hard, drinking and smoking grass.
Do you think the cover art of your e-book/novel will persuade readers to read the story inside?
Hopefully, I wish I knew how to design my own. That’s definitely on my to do list in 2020! The “Look Inside” feature is cool, it allows reader’s to get a glimpse of what’s inside! I think the Covers are very important. If it doesn’t catch the reader’s attention than it can literally go nowhere. My covers are Ok, but it doesn’t give justice to the super creative stories inside. I try to select the best covers, but it’s not always easy.
How much of the book is realistic? Are experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life?
I would say all of it, because it’s relatable. There are true bits and pieces in it from people that I know or have met. Like I tell my reader’s stuff about me all the time to make them laugh!
What was the hardest part about writing this book?
Being new and Urban! It’s hard to fit in certain groups. As a woman writer, people generally wouldn’t expect me to use such vulgar language and vivid scenery. As a daytime Medical Professional, I am also critiqued by peers as having bad grammar, editing and blah, blah blah. You know how that is. Urban is about street life, some positive and some negative. The topic’s, conversations and storylines are there for people that want to read my types of books. I strongly encourage people to read my work before booking, so that their not surprised. With anything, you just have to have the right audience or group. My current audience is very diverse and I love it!
Is there a message in your e-book/novel that you want your readers to grasp?
Be the best that you can be. Single parent’s can have healthy and fulfilling lives too! It’s a process that takes time, but it can be done! I personally enjoy it and have finally achieved balance, Woop Woop! I made that word up, now I can’t get it out of my head or in my books!
Is there anything else you would like your/the readers to know about your book?
Please look out for free offers, that’s my favorite part. It gives everyone a chance to get a copy.

Author Speaks with Latrese Riley
Jade’s forced into Human Trafficking and Stripping at the Hands of Sparkle and Adonis! A deadly infection takes one lover and one’s a Dying Drug Addict! What’s the fate of the two lover’s? Can their love survive the streets or is it too late?
What inspired you to write That Trick!: ill Fated Lovers Jade & Denim Part 2!?
My love for Urban Fiction<3!
Is this a standalone novel or apart of a series?
Part 2.
How did you come up with the title and storyline?
It is a biracial love story! Jade was picked for her emerald green eyes & Denim was named because he loves to wear jeans!
Can you tell us a little about the main character(s)?
Jade is Korean & Denim is black. A tragedy happened to Denim. Jade’s family took him in. The two grew up together, fell in love and then we’re separated. A life of Drug dealing, Pimping and Crime tore them apart. Their love spanned for years….
Do you think the cover art of your e-book/novel will persuade readers to read the story inside?
Yes. It looks pretty, romantic & sweet! But that’s far from the truth!
How much of the book is realistic? Are experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life?
I would say most of it! We’ve all been in love, been in bad relationships, and we’re devastated by a break-up. You know when people fall on hard times, they going to do what they have to!. Many people fall into the hands of the wrong crowd and get turned out. We all know someone that maybe in a domestic violence relationship. Those in the streets, mayhave caught deadly infections! Me personally have not experienced the street. Working in the Inner-city, in the Medical Field has taught me a lot. As a woman, I’ve been in love, was cheated on and a side chick. I admit I have competed to win a particular guy. I was desperate and had low self-esteem. Like many of my characters! I am also a single Baby Mama! Not as bad as my ” Baby Mama From Hell” book, lol.
What was the hardest part about writing this book?
I can relate to all of my characters to a certain level. I had to literally walk in their shoes through out my story! I had to breath their air, read their intimate thoughts and struggle with them. It was hard, because there were times, I had to think out the box, by keeping an open mind! I was the addict and society all in one. I had to visualize their stereotypes and bias towards one another. I had to play both sides. I wanted to have that raw mystery and urban suspense to it!
Is there a message in your e-book/novel that you want your readers to grasp?
Anyone of us can lose everything unexpectedly. Always remember the people that got you to where you are today! Be careful who you trust and keep your enemies close! To also remember, that tomorrow is a better day. Believe in yourself and change, if it can make your life better!
Is there anything else you would like your/the readers to know about your book?
It’s Urban! It’s not perfect! It’s about street life, love and tragedy. I always loved the “look inside” feature of the book! It gives Readers a sample of what to expect and they can decide to continue or not.
Additional Comments?
I have several books for everyone’s taste!. You can find mystery, suspense, romance and romance in all of them! Even a little humor and personal things about me! Ilike diversity and a variety of characters.
