I was blessed with 5 sisters. Two I grew up with Stephanie and Antoinette. Two I found out about when I was 13, Bridgette and Kimberly. One I met as a baby and didn’t see her again until she was an adult when I found her on Facebook, Socrotiff. I always wanted brothers and was blessed with nine when I married my husband, Eric, Johnny, Craig, Tim, Nathanial, Wallace, Jamel, Darren and Tarron. Family is

The first fan letter I wrote was to Romance Writer Rochelle Alers. She was featured in Essence magazine and included her mailing address. I wrote her a letter and to my surprise she wrote me back. That letter was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. I loved Rochelle’s books and she will always hold a special place in my heart because she wrote me back. I received my first fan letter last year after my
I thought I found God when I was 25 and became a Christian. As I began to grow in my faith I learned I was the lost one. God was with me when he placed me in my mom’s womb.

I’m the perfect example of not giving up on your
2015 was an amazing year for me. I learned a few things on the way. 1. DO IT SCARED – The biggest lesson I learned in 2015 and one I will continue using is that I can do it scared. There were a lot of things that scared me in 2015 but I didn’t let the fear control me or stop me. I continued to move forward. I did it scared. 2. Be Ready For
I had my first online radio interview as a published author this month. It was with Dr. Maxine Thompson, who also was the first person to interview me about SORMAG when I first started it in 2000. I was a nervous wreck the first interview. I read somewhere if you stood while you did the interview it would help with being nervous. I will admit it helped a little. This interview I had a little
When I was a member of Romance Writers of America, the writers use to talk about getting “The Call”. It was the call you received when a publisher or editor wanted to offer you a contract to buy your book. As an aspiring writer, I dreamed of that call. This year I published my own book and I honestly thought I would continue publishing my next books. I had kind of gave up hope on
I’ve decided to publish my first book. One of the steps in the process is creating a company name and logo. I decided on Hoffman’s Contents LLC. What do you think?
