My first interview as Sparkle has been posted and if you haven’t already, please listen to an audio excerpt of my new book Sade’s Secret. A special thanks to Ella Curry of EDC Creations Creations Media Group for the audio-postcard presentation and Kandie Delley of KandelMedia for my new graphics.
BPM: Why is SADE’S SECRET written under your pen name SPARKLE, instead of Shelia Goss?

“Sade’s Secret is a very timely story that should be read, by mothers and daughters, men and educators and discussed widely. Kudos to Sparkle for a story that could have been dark and heavy but was relatable and interesting at the same time.“ ~ Angelia Menchan

I had a wonderful time at the Romance Slam Jam held in Little Rock, AR. I got a chance to meet people I’ve known for years online in person. I felt like I was at a family reunion. I will cherish the memories. Besides doing some sightseeing at the Clinton Presidential Library and Central High School, I also got a chance to revisit several places that I lived at the first four years of my life—the air force base and a house where we lived.
Michelle Monkou did a great recap of the RSJ on USATODAY, so please check it out by CLICKING HERE.
Although Delilah didn’t win in the Inspirational Romance category, I want to thank everyone who voted because it’s the first time any of my books has ever made it as a finalist.
One of my favorite highlights was the meet and greet with sister LLL&B members Thursday night. You ladies rock!
