Welcome
Thank you for taking the time to visit my little slice of the world. I hope
you enjoy your stay. As you peruse, you will see pages of interest for both
authors and readers. I designed, implemented, and now update this site (yeah
I'm proud of that), so if you have any problems navigating, comments or just
want to say hi, please email me at
deatri@deewrites.com. I'm one of those evil blogger people. Go check me
out at
What's Up With Deatri or see what I have to say in my monthly
article in
Blogging In Black. I also have a blog about my
Journey to Nubian Locs.
Though I still write and read more than the law allows, I've been spending a
lot of time building up the Romance Slam Jam Organization. So if you don't
see a new book from me for a bit, don't worry. I'm still at it. The Romance
Slam Jam is THE place for readers and authors of Black romance. In 2010,
we'll be celebrating our 15 year anniversary by taking a cruise. Come on and
join in on the fun. Information can be found at the
Romance Slam Jam web site.
New Release
Jodie
has never left her family farm, never heard of print media or many of the
technologies of the modern society, and never knew love until Ashton Tolliver
came her way.
Dr. Ashton Tolliver has known Linda Shell his entire life, so knows she doesn’t
have children. When Linda is in a car accident and pleads with Ashton to go to
her farm and watch after her daughter, he is sure he is about to make the trip
to see a beloved pet. The beautiful, vivacious woman who answers the door is
definitely not a pet. Ashton sets out to save Jodie, but soon finds he is
fighting against love.

Six Authors, One Worthy Cause

While
on a cruise to Jamaica, six couples discover the “Love Boat” is a lot more than
a television series from the 1980s, and this time the destination is hot, steamy
romance.
African-American women are the fastest growing population being diagnosed with
HIV and/or AIDS. In this season of giving, six award-winning authors have teamed
with Red Rose Publishing to donate all proceeds from the anthology Destination
Romance to the South Side Help Center, an HIV/AIDS prevention intervention and
education program for African American women in Chicago, because, after all,
sometimes it is better to give than receive.
