MALCOLM
I jogged up the brownstone’s stairs, still not entirely sure how I’d let myself get to this point. I just didn’t know how to handle what had happened when Esme was at my apartment three days ago, tutoring Mason in person for the first time.

I’ve been getting questions about the music that inspired Sloth, so I’m excited to finally share the playlist with you. Music has always been a big part of my writing process, and the songs on this playlist really helped set the tone for Eryn and Simeon’s story. If you’ve read Sloth (or are about to get into it 🥰), these tracks are the perfect backdrop to their journey of love, redemption, and second chances.
You can listen to the playlist now on Spotify by clicking the button below. Let me know which songs hit home for you! ❤️.
Gratitude is one of those things that’s so important to me. I love giving it just as much as I love receiving it. So, of course, I want to share immense gratitude for your support yesterday. Thank you so much!
Yesterday marked a major milestone in my self-publishing journey. Taking something from just an idea and turning it into something tangible—pages and pages of words I can hold—is surreal and such a blessing. I’m beyond grateful, and I thank you for your support yesterday, for your support before yesterday, and, God willing, for your support in the future. You are truly appreciated.
Until my next post ❤️.

Blurb
Former flames reunite a decade after their breakup, given a chance to right past wrongs. Will they see it as their chance or too much of a gamble to try their hand at love again?
On a crisp morning in Oakland, California, I found myself in the heart of Simeon King’s high-end office at King Sports Management (KSM). The office, located in a sleek high-rise, boasted expansive windows with a stunning view of the city skyline. The space was tastefully decorated with modern, high-end furnishings, and the air was filled with the scent of fresh coffee.
Simeon, impeccably dressed in a tailored suit with a neatly groomed beard, sat comfortably in a stylish leather chair behind his polished mahogany desk. The room was a testament to his success and high standards, with minimalist art adorning the walls and a state-of-the-art sound system softly playing instrumental jazz in the background.
“I’m glad you came by,” Simeon said, taking a sip of his coffee. “This interview is for Dallas, correct?”
I clarified that the focus of the interview was more on him than on Dallas, piquing Simeon’s curiosity.
With a hint of surprise and intrigue in his eyes, Simeon adjusted to the new direction of the conversation. As we began to explore topics from his past, it became clear that Simeon had not anticipated this shift. His reflections on Eryn Peters, his first love, revealed a nostalgic side that was both endearing and enlightening, offering a glimpse into a story filled with emotional depth and unresolved connections.
The unexpected focus on his past hinted at a compelling backstory soon to be revealed in his upcoming story, Sloth.

This chapter pissed off a lot of readers but also made them fall even more in love with the MMC, Dallas Roque. He left his heart on the table in this chapter, and we couldn’t help but feel frustrated with the FMC, Ayanna. It was a pivotal scene that challenged the characters’ resolves and put their wills on full display. Chapter Nineteen became one of the most highlighted chapters in So This is Love—and for very good reason.

Nubia Merci. A personal favorite of mine. Nubia’s story started as a free download for my subscribers, and if I’m not mistaken, it was one of the first free offerings I shared with my mailing list, aside from the sign-up stories. Readers fell in love with Nubia just as much as I did, and they often asked if her and Naazir’s story would continue. Of course, it was an automatic yes. And not only because I loved these two as a couple, but because I was simply in awe of Nubia’s character.
Let’s get to know the woman behind the name a bit more intimately.

ESME
The sound of pots being placed on the stove ahead of me pulled my eyes away from the bag I was rummaging through. Between trying to keep my focus off Malcolm and the stunning view of Manhattan’s tallest skyscrapers behind me, I was struggling to keep it together.

As soon as Mason pushed his chair back from my desk to stand up, I eagerly got off my island stool just a few feet away.
