The first leg of the Invisible Love tour is winding down. Thank you all for taking the tour with me. I have a few more stops and then I’ll be taking a break. I have another manuscript due so I’ll be incognito working on it.
I had fun on my latest stop on the Invisible Love Virtual Tour. Check out the interview I did on Drewzee23’s Weblog. You might be surprised at some of the questions and answers.
Drewzee: Shelia, how often do people misspell your name?

How to Love a Black Woman
By Guest Blogger John R. Williams
This may not be popular but I feel that it can be somewhat complex to love a Black Woman. It’s not impossible but it is multifaceted. Although it may be difficult, I must acknowledge that the root of the problem is us, men. We have scarred, abused, let down, under-appreciated, deceived and hurt our women so badly that they have erected such high safety guards that once we scale those emotional barricades as well as the, physical and psychological barriers we are either too angry, too resentful, too stressed or too exhausted to love our women properly.
Today’s Black Woman wears dozens of hats. She is a wife, a lover, a career woman, a housekeeper, a friend, a mother and in some cases the father too. Juggling all of those duties successfully and consistently drains them. At the end of the day she may not have anything left for herself. This can lead to high stress levels, health problems and even death.
Today’s male must be a master at making his woman’s life simpler. He has to be her calming agent and her rock. The recipe is simple. Listen to her, communicate well and often, be affectionate, be a financial contributor, take care of her sexual needs and keep things exciting for her. Most women will agree.
1. When women get hurt in a relationship what road blocks do they put up?
2. What are (5) traits that ideal men have?

His gifted writing ability, common sense and unwavering loyalty gained him lifelong friendships and a suitable following during his years there. After graduating, Sean moves to Dallas , Texas to attend college and pursue his dream of writing and directing stage plays.
While in college, Sean meets Eva Sparks, a sexy graduate student with attitude. They hit it off right away. Things start out fantastic but Sean soon realizes that Eva is more than he can handle. She is insecure, controlling, possessive and insanely jealous. She is a hot mess! In comparison, a far cry from Jade Brown, his high school sweetheart and true love from more than a decade ago.
Now a graduate, Sean has received $100,000 to produce his first major stage play. Between his career demands and problems with Eva, things are absolutely crazy! At the height of his dilemma, Sean receives an invitation to go back home and attend his 10-Year High School Class Reunion . This is great news!
Although Sean’s life is chaotic, he will attend. The reunion is sure to be the highlight of his summer. A vacation from Eva couldn’t have come at a better time. As exciting as it seems, Sean understands that the reunion will rehash tons of mixed emotions as well as force him to confront Eva and re-examine his failed love with Jade. Will Sean’s departure lead him to lost love or send his girlfriend Eva into one of the most frenzied fits of jealousy ever captured on paper? This book will not disappoint!

ABOUT THE BOOK
Julia Turner, an ambitious educator in her mid-thirties, leaves a high-profile job in Chicago to return to Dayton, Ohio to serve as superintendent of Christian Light, the K-12 private school system from which she graduated two decades earlier. A single mother with an ugly divorce and a complex childhood in her rearview mirror, Julia views her mission as a chance to contribute to her hometown and conquer the demons from her past. But she never expects to confront the one sin she and her childhood friends agree to bury as teens-the accident that left Eddie Walker hospitalized and incapacitated.
Meanwhile, Detective Peter Whitlock, Eddie Walker’s older bother, is still determined to find the person(s) responsible for his brother’s condition. As an unrelated investigation leads to another woman who is involved in the accident, the responsible parties must decide whether they will keep their dark secrets, or tell the truth and let God decide the outcome.
God Only Knows by Xavier Knight will be in stores March 23, 2009 or you can order online from Amazon.com.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Herschel Henderson said, “I do,” to gain access to his wife’s money, Lexington Lewis vowed for his better and her worse, and Brian Flaw meant until death do we part, yet none of them are dedicated to their wives.
Herschel has a mistress that he sexes more than his wife, Lexington is making love to as many women as he can, and Brian is sexing women of every ethnicity because he’s become bored with his wife. The one thing these men do share, is the fact that neither of them will give up the sexual freedom they enjoyed as single men.
Single Husbands by Honey B will be in stores March 16, 2009 or you can order online from Amazon.com.
