I'm a publicist and PR consultant based in Cleveland, Ohio. I am a tech and social media junkie who uses the information I've gleaned to assist clients and friends. There's so much to tell about me, so I won't, but you're free to ask me questions. :)
Hometown:
Cleveland OH
Education:
MA Communication
Children:
0
Interests:
Many...reading/books, film, dance, music, thrift store shopping and people. People really interest me. I am a novice belly dancer, cabaret style is my favorite though it wasn't initially.
Favorite Music:
Love girly music: women and men who sing to my soul. Can be gospel, rock, classic R&B and soul, opera, C&W... I love music. Good music.
Favorite Movies:
Imitation of Life (both versions), Back Street w/ Susan Hayward, almost anything with a young Natalie Wood... Chick flicker, that's me.
Favorite TV Shows:
Too many to list but A Different World is on the short list.
Favorite Books
Another long list but I love Stephen L. Carter, Malcolm Gladwell, Dorothy West, Nella Larsen, Terry McMillan's The Interruption of Everything (her best next to Mama) and Bebe's 72-hour hold.

"Bernice L. McFadden's first novel begins with the brief, poetic description of a crime so startling that the reader is helplessly drawn in, as if a bright red door stood ajar on a bleak and forbidding house. Pearl Taylor's daughter, Jude, has been found murdered and mutilated near a field at the edge of town. "The murder had white man written all over it," writes McFadden. "But no one would say it above a whisper. It was 1940. It was Bigelow, Arkansas. It was a black child. Need any more be said?" In the years that follow, Pearl catches sight of Jude in so many strangers that when Sugar Lacey comes to town and sets up her unwholesome "business" in the house next door, she doesn't know whether to believe what she sees in Sugar's face: a striking similarity to Jude, dead 15 years. In her sedate but supple prose--rising at times to a light, unforced lyricism in the description of landscape or character--the author perfectly renders the closed and protective society of a small Southern town, the superstitions, gossip, and prying."
In order to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of Sugar I am campaigning to sell 10,000 copies by Jan 9th, 2010.
Please purchase one for yourself or a friend. And yes, Kindle purchases count!
Hi Robin, I just wanted to let you know that your request to add as a friend was not being ignored. I've been extremely busy and my feet finally landed here today. Nice to meet you...
Thanks so much for your support. I think with more people like you, who understand how to use social media, we can get this thing going. It has been a slow start but now I am attracting people with something to say and a desire to hear other's opinions as well.
