About Me

My photo
New York, New York, United States
.Everything happens for a reason and when we least expect it. Not one to wait for things happen, I tend to push for what many call IMPOSSIBLE. I am the self published author of "Broken Promises Never Mend" which is currently on amazon.com. I am very proud of my accomplishment seeing as though I was told many times that I cant do it and also that I shouldnt do it. I go against the grain and can be a rebel of sorts. My intentions are good and I always usually win in the end. Not one to stay idle, Ive also been an entrepreneur and created gift baskets, scented candles and incense for many customers and have been blessed to even have gifted celebrity clients such as Nicole and Boris Kodjoe of Showtime's hit show "SOUL FOOD". I thank you for networking with me and God's Blessings! ~Essence M~

Very Sweet, Not so Bitter

Sometimes sticking with your first instinct is the best. I have released my novel "Bittersweet" with wonderful feedback and reviews however the paperback wont be available til Jan/Feb 2012. Im working on interior issues with it to make sure its perfect. It is available on Kindle & Nook for your reading pleasure! http://www.amazon.com/Bittersweet-ebook/dp/B006D8FEZ4/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1324397733&sr=1-1

During this time I am working on another installment of Bittersweet......... yes already I know but this year has blessed me so and I want to keep up the momentum dig?
2011 has brought me ups and downs but through it all I kept pushing and succeeded. I published not one but 2 novels and contributed to a soon to be released Anthology and I am excited about that. I encountered people that didnt want me to press on. I encountered those that turned out to be my biggest fans. I encountered harsh criticism and I encountered strong critique that helped me hone my craft. This business is cutthroat but you get out of it what you put into it.
I place  my all into my novels because I want my readers to feel what I feel. I dont just throw words n a page and expect for it to be a hit. I strategically make love to the words and sing them as if in a symphony so that you can feel aroused, angry, sad and ecstatic simultaneously.
                  THANK YOU to all that took this ride with me and I'll see some of yall next year!

Hiatus :-/





Those of you that have been following my journey know that I have been SUPER excited about my latest release "Bittersweet". After the Harlem Book Fair I went full steam ahead with book signings and promtions and things of that nature. Sadly my body caught up with me and I am currently out on "break" with no writing. So how am I blogging you ask? VERY CAREFULLY! This always happens however when I release a book. Something happens whether its related to a computer issue or some illness and it will delay my progress. That being said my novel Bittersweet wont drop in December........ but it WILL drop in Feb/March 2012! AND........ I would love to have a big party to celebrate and have a book tour. I guess all wont be lost as we once thought. Now just to organize everything for that gradiose occassion. I hope you all will join me in celebrating :)
I still have my other novels and Im working on the final installment of the trilogy as well as other surprises. This journey is FAR from over! Love ya to pieces :-)

Internationally Known......................... !!!!! :-)


Hey lovelies! Long day but I wanted to share with you the news that I got today! It wasnt what I expected but I am still super happy and proud!
I occassionally check online for sales from Amazon and Barnes and Noble to see where my numbers are as far as sales. I decided to peek over and see if there were by chance any international sales and LO and BEHOLD  I see that there was a sale on Amazon UK! Yeah I know its ONE sale but who knows WHERE that sale was originated and Im believing that the person loved my novel "Bound by Lies" and decides to tell others about it. That would be fantastic and a swarm of new sales and international following! I think outside of the box! Word of mouth spreads quickly! I never thought that this would be occurring so soon. I believed I had at least a few more novels to crank out LOL. Im blessed nonetheless and thank you all for encouraging me on my journey! Love ya to pieces!

My Prerogative
            A juicy gob of spit dripped down her chin. Brianna had never done this at work before but as soon as he mentioned he would pay extra for private service she decided to go for it. I mean what the fuck! Women have been giving up pussy for years without being compensated for it. Its time to get paid for services rendered!  
            Her hand moved up and down the shaft of his erect penis as she kept it in her mouth, He groaned and grunted in pleasure while Brianna sucked on his dick like a Hoover Vacuum. The throbbing in her mouth was felt as it bobbed and remained warm and wet causing her to taste his pre cum. Brianna knew he was about to blow his wad down her throat and was ready to keep sucking  and stroking until he did.
Brianna said she would only do this when she was in a relationship but lately was tired of being mistreated for where she worked and how she made her money. Any man that wanted to be with her would have to know and understand that Brianna was an exotic dancer or a plain ole’ stripper and this is how she made her money. The Golden Palace was a place where friends and foes were made on a daily basis. Every man/woman and child for themselves and no one was exempt from being a target no matter who you were.
            Brianna began to hum so that the back of her throat massaged his dick in her throat and tickled the tip. She was determined to keep her mouth wet because Brianna decided she wasn’t going to fuck him. That was really the last resort. This man was big as a house, about 350 lbs and smelled like stale cigarettes and Heineken beer. His sweaty belly kept hitting her in the face when she changed positions and she felt the prickly hairs on his crotch rub her hands as she grabbed and massaged his dick.
Brianna wanted to get this over with so she could get her dough and finish her shift. One more hour was left on her shift for the night and she wanted to get home to rest up for her other job as a Home Health Aide. She hated that she had to have two jobs but it was the only way she could legitimize why she couldn’t finish school when she was suppose to. Financial aide ran out and she had to take a semester off but that was a year ago and now she’s stuck stripping by night and nursing by day. She was determined to move out of the projects if it killed her. Way too many things occurred and she was beginning to be fearful of her life. Living at home wasn’t an easy task either and that’s another reason why she remained at work.
With the task at hand, she focused back at her client and sucked harder in order to speed up his process. He grabbed the back of her dark brown hair and began to fuck her face hard and fast causing her to gag, He knew he wasn’t going to get the pussy so her tongue was the next best thing. Brianna had her 42DD’s out of her purple bikini top and he played with her nipples and she kneeled between his legs going to work on his chocolate penis.
“Uh Yeah, Ooh take this dick! Ooh Damn! Im gonna cum!”he said as she took her mouth off and let him bust his jizz all over her tits. She was supposed to swallow but at the last minute decided against it.
“That’s a dumb move bitch!” he said wiping the tip of his dick with a baby wipe and pulling his pants up above what should be his waist but his big gut hung over. He struggled to buckle the belt and just left it dangling which made it jingle when he walked.
“This is why they call it ‘VIP’ and you didn’t treat me like a very important person!” He pulled out his wallet and began to count out five single hundred dollar bills. They were crisp and rustled as he did so he licked his fingertips and used the saliva to separate the sticky bills.
“This is why they call it ‘prerogative’. Just run me my money so I can tend to my other clients. I got shit to do” Brianna adjusted her bra top and grabbed some baby wipes to clean up her mouth and chest which was dripping in his ejaculate. She didn’t want her next client to know she did this or else they’d all want it and while he was her first, she didn’t particularly care for it. Besides going home to her mom’s house, she didn’t want to smell like sex. Smelling like old people was bad enough and she did that every day to pay the bills. Stripping was for extra shit she wanted and she didn’t intend to stop until she got what she wanted.
“You know I give two fucks right?! I just did you a favor so give me what’s owed to me and I’ll be on my way”.
Her mouth was slick and she knew how to make people give her what she wanted. Brianna stuck a piece of gum in her mouth and re applied her ruby red lipstick.  She stuck her hand out for payment and waited patiently for him to give her the money owed. He placed it in her hand and he smirked. She counted the money and rolled her eyes.
 “This isn’t all my money”
 It wasn’t what was agreed upon and she kinda wished silently that she did what he wanted.
“Its my prerogative remember!” he said as he kissed her on the cheek and walked through the curtains. He looked back and said, “next time do what you are supposed to do and you’ll get all that you want”
“Shit!”, she exclaimed as she threw the money on the rust colored sofa in the VIP section of the club. Another fucked up night at the club but it gave her an idea that would change her life forever!

Behind Those Books Premiere

On Friday May 27, 2011 I attended the premiere of a documentary that took three years to bring together and was told to us through the eyes of authors and readers in less than ninety minutes. The documentary was entitled "Behind Those Books" and it was created, produced and directed by Kaven Brown and Mills Miller.



In the film, which premiered in New York City it opens with a rapper speaking of how he is not a role model yet he speaks on that which he sees and is surrounded by in his environment. It then continues to show interviews by the likes of such authors such as Omar Tyree, Michael Eric Dyson, Caroline McGill, T. Styles, Terry McMillan, Treasure Blue, K'wan and more. What these authors tell are the foundations to why they author books and how it affects or doesn't the society to which we live in. We also hear from the minds of creative designers such as Davida Baldwin as well as vendors that sell the books that we love to love or hate.


Tales of "tits and ass" being all over book covers, misspelled words and copycat "rap songs" are praised as well as frowned upon. One author even gets personal and speak of his living situation as a child and how he brings it with true grit and passion to the novels that he writes.


This film is something that we needed to unleash to mainstream as many only see a one dimensional side of the literary world. Authors and readers alike will now understand what goes on behind the pages and even moreso Behind Those Books!!

On to the Next

Once again I am a published author! I have released my sophomore effort and its getting rave reviews! Its even prompted others to pick up my first novel to catch up. I love the feeling of knowing people read, appreciate and value my work. I never knew others paid attention to me until I began to write. Things that are said take on so much more meaning and recognition. Many thanks to those that have followed me on my journey and to those that have encouraged me along the way. I am well on my way on this long road to success but Im making strides!

I HAD A DREAM

As a child I used to play secretary with my friends. You know when we used to have President, VP, Secretary and Treasurer. I used to always be the one to take minutes and write! That was the beginning of what I have set into fruition today. I always had a pen and paper in hand. I've read countless books, from Judy Blume and VC Andrews to T Styles and Terry McMillan. I never stopped reading until I decided to write. Even now, as a published author I said I wouldnt ever stop reading because thats something we do in everyday life and we tend to just look at pictures and mull over things as opposed to totally and wholeheartedly ingesting what it is we are trying to learn.
Putting my work into the hands of another is something I said I would be skeptical to do but I've placed so much faith into my wonderful editor that its like when I go to do my always manicured nails.
Do what you need to do, just make it fabulous.
Putting out my 2nd published novel, I am now exposed to so many people that I wasnt privy to before. I am so thankful once again and this is truly like a dream come true for me. As a matter of fact, it IS a dream come true and honestly it wouldnt be happening if I didnt have FAITH. Follow your dreams people.... its one step away from making it a reality. We are only as great as we attain to be. Martin Luther King Jr, had a dream and his dream was FAR more important than mine but he wasnt able to live to see it come to fruition. His legacy lives on within us each and every day. Love one another as you love yourselves and know that whatever you pray for yourself, you can pray for another. It costs nothing to make that happen and you will be blessed because of it. 


Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase.

US black civil rights leader & clergyman (1929 - 1968)
