Mind of a Black Author: Recent Episodes

As a writer, it never occurred to me how many people want to not only read my stories but also hear a behind the scenes type of tale on my process and other various tales about my work. This podcast will allow me to not only discuss those works, but also give tips on the writing processes for new authors looking to begin their creative journeys.
Let's face it, when you've written 30 books (28 out currently, with 2 coming soon), some of your work is going to get overlooked. Fear not as I discussed 3 of my books that I think are overlooked and why. All of these works are great in their own right, but check them out today. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. www.enigmakidd.comOne Man's Redemptionhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B1LV1X1VLife After Death: Rules of the Widowedhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09...Promiscuous Love: The Murder of Natalie Littlehttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B086BC78FL
For the first time, I go into detail into the storyline of Between Wives. I discuss a couple of spoilers, so if you haven't read the book, and don't want to be spoiled, don't watch this video until you've read the book. www.enigmakidd.comBetween Wiveshttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BQS9VBPH
I've spoken about this book before, but since I was in sunny Los Angeles, I thought it would be the perfect time to talk about a book that takes place in Lala Land! Get some insight into the story and some behind the scenes discussion about one of my most popular E-books.

Had a blast at my latest event and I wanted to share my experience and also offer tips that I learned along the way.
After a life filled with heartbreak, loss, and trauma, famous singer-songwriter, Serena, has retreated to a secluded mansion to live in solitude. Her music speaks to the pain and struggles she's faced, but no matter how hard she tries, the past continues to limit her as anger and hate fill her heart.
That is until she hires a new publicist, James Cade, to help settle disputes and maintain the seemingly perfect image to the prying media eyes. Cade is everything Serena isn't - outgoing, confident, and unafraid of a little work. But despite their differences, the two find themselves drawn to each other in a way they never expected.
As their professional relationship turns personal, Serena's past continues to haunt her, threatening to destroy the fragile trust she's built with Cade. Can she fully open up her heart to him and let him into her world, or will her fears and insecurities keep them both locked in solitude forever?
With emotional depth and raw honesty, this novel explores the power of love to heal even the deepest wounds and the courage it takes to let go of the past and embrace the present.

In a book that's 60-70 percent based on my life, I thought it would be cool to go through the book and reveal what's real and what's fiction. It's a little embarrassing for me, but it's events like this that mold us into the people we are today.

I saw this topic on Facebook, and I wanted to address the way I felt when I first received a physical copy of my very first book Confessions of a Call Center Junkie: The Diary of Lellow. There's a story behind everything, and here's my story behind that.

Confessions of a Call Center Junkie - The Diary of Lellow
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01I0JLL7S
Set several years prior to the events in ‘Confessions of a Call Center Junkie: The Diary of Lellow’, we see a struggling Lellow at her lowest point with drugs and alcohol completely immersed in her life before meeting her soon to be best friend Gia. They form an inseparable bond with each other as Lellow works to get her life back in order with help from therapy sessions and Narcotics Anonymous meetings. Getting clean and maintaining sobriety is battle for anyone Lellow learns as she has to work through her addiction problems while also struggling to maintain her life as a customer service representative, being subjected to mental and sexual abuse, her love life which includes feelings towards two men who she currently works with, and life as a sponsor in her N.A. meetings. Confessions of a Call Center Junkie was Lellow’s diary in her own words. The Chronicles of Lellow showcases the real Lellow, without the mask of her own words. It’s a tale that shows the day to day of a recovering addict who fights to remain sober in a world that’s built to keep her in her place, no matter how hard she tries. Take a look into the soul of the real Lellow, and become a witness to her turbulent life.

Book Review
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 29, 2019
“I haven’t lost “everything” like most of them describe. Then again you have to have something to lose in order to lose everything, so maybe my situation is much worse.”
“I wanna be happy, but for some reason I’m just incapable of being happy. I would rather be depressed cause at least while I’m depressed, I’m used to it. I’m used to feeling low about my situation and life. Happiness is what scares me.”
“I pray that God helps me find whatever it is I’m seeking to be happy. It’s just becoming too hard to live right now.”
“I think if I died today, people would mourn and week later, back to business. It depresses me to think my life has no significance in the world I live in.”
“Let me drown already. Let me forget him. Let this infatuation die in me. My heart is heavy, and I can't take much more.”
“So this was me laying my heart on the line cause at that point, I had nothing to lose.”

POTENTIAL SPOILERS ALERT
…Can't find the words that can even begin to sufficiently express my emotions & feelings…
This book resonated so deeply with me, it reduced me to tears that won't stop falling!
As a person who struggled with anxiety, depression & suicidal & self-harm tendencies, coping with mental illness impact of, on & for the rest of my life, I am grateful for bringing this story to life. It genuinely touched my heart & made me even more grateful to the people who chose to love me enough to stay & save me from me more than I was capable of or cared to for myself!!
Introducing & identifying the inescapable torture of debilitating pain so overwhelming that the desperation to avoid or evade it for even the briefest moment is perceived as an improvement, you're willing to physically destroy yourself is to recognize, remember & relate to the characters, storylines, darkness, self-deprecating, self-destruction that is everyday life for people dealing with mental health needs.
"ʼLife is misery with a few good moments in between. Cherish them as best you can, and don't waste those precious moments that you do have cause they are far and few in between.ʼ Lellow Cook.... Always remember...”
Excellent job putting words that relate the unexplainable & expresses the unfathomable to those who haven't been there themselves.
Secret Lovers: Side Chick Chronicles. Published on 10/28. Get a look into my mind on the characters and story lines of this fun book.
