Sable Lit Reviews

Every writer has a story of what brought their desire to write to the surface. For some it was the strong urge to put a pencil to lined paper while others just love the lyrical sound of the words they choose to marry together. For me, it was romance and chocolate.  I wrote poetry when [...]

In keeping with the theme of this blog, I am beginning to realize that most things have a multicultural connection. With the month of November being about food, family and gratefulness plus the great family tradition, recipe or memories that many visitors have shared it got me to thinking about other foods associated with the [...]

Like I mentioned earlier, I did my first book signing at a local RWA chapter meeting.

There are two other authors that have written multicultural, one writes Hawaiian romance and the other author wrote a [...]

Wow, I can’t believe It’s Thanksgiving already. I have so much to be grateful for this year. My first book was published, this blog hit the cyber airwaves and I have had the opportunity to meet, chat or blog with some amazing people. Thank you all for being a part of it! We have just three [...]

Whether you’d rather watch or be watched, this short speaks to your sensual senses as Tiana, a dancer in search of her true professional calling, tries to satisfy her desire [...]

As a writer you should never stop challenging yourself. National novel month has been going strong every November now for nine years.  I’ve only been aware of it for the last three years now and up until this year I have avoided it. I’ve never liked the idea of setting goals around the quantity of my [...]

I’ve beat to death the notion of getting story ideas from movies, books, television and magazine stories. But some of my best ideas have come when I was doing something else.
