Readers & Friends,

I’m celebrating the release of my fourth novel this week.  I am excited and nervous at the same time. I’ve been building up to this moment for a few months and now it’s here. I hope you enjoy Parris Mitchell’s story. 

If the story interests  you, I need your help to make this book release a success. You can find the book in all the major chain stores and if by chance its not on the shelf, ask for it. If you’re in one of the states where there’s bad winter weather, its available at any one of the online retailers such as Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble. 

Thank you in advance for making Double Platinum a hit.

Double Platinum – One Writers Ode to Women in Music

I am proud to present to you my fourth novel – Double Platinum. This book was written to celebrate my love for music. My goal was to show that celebrities are people just like you and I. I’ve interviewed various singers over the past few years such as Mary J Blige, Lisa Marie Presley, India Arie, Teena Marie and the list goes on and on. Although their backgrounds are different, each one of these women have one thing in common–they did not give up. They pursued their dreams so that we now have countless hours of music to listen to.

I listened to every thing from Sade to Janet Jackson while writing Double Platinum. The title of each chapter is purposely used to ignite your memory of classic songs.

Here’s what Double Platinum is about in a nutshell:

To the world, R&B mega star Parris Mitchell has it all: fame, money, jewelry and several gold and platinum records to go along with it. But now, with her singing career declining, she struggles with depression. Her last few albums were disappointments not only to her record label because of low sales, but to her devoted fans.

Casper Johnson is one of the hottest and most sought after producers in the music industry. All of the media attention has garnered “The Hit Maker” a playboy image. He’s getting tired of the same old sound and he’s looking for the right voice to help take his career to the next level. Parris agrees to give Casper a chance to revive her career.

When they get together, their working relationship quickly crosses the line and their drama from groupies and people from their past becomes the source of plenty of print for the paparazzi.
