After a brief hiatus, I returned to my first two books* and decided to continue writing by making a series out of the characters' personal stories. There are nine women in my SistaGirlz series: Rachael Wallace, Layla Michaels, Raven Powers, Imani Powers, TaMeeka James, Angela DeVille, Nina DeVille, JaShel Jackson and Clarissa Revelin. Each of these women has a special man (in some cases MEN) in their lives.
