Every Christmas, I debate over what to get my niece, Ayana. I say this because Ayana is a girl who has been given almost anything she asks for every Christmas. At three years old, her parents bought her a Jeep Barbie. At four they bought her a 25-inch color television. At five they got her a computer for her bedroom, and at six they bought her a cell phone. So you can see when I decided to buy her a... (posted by Katrina 5 years 58 days ago.)

How I Got My First Novel to Print
When I wrote my first novel, I was elated. It was in 1997, and I wrote it in under four months.
