Behind the Scenes: “I Don’t Really Care” by Waka Flocka f/ Trey Songz
I love Behind the Scenes clips and Waka Flocka so I thought this was be the perfect vid to share!
Behind the Book: Brookstone University
One of the first locations introduced in The Diamond Collection is the fictional Brookstone University. Located in East Brookstone, New York, the school is one of the primary settings in Diamonds in the Rough. Carmen, Tiara, Monifah, and Rakim are all attendees although none of them will graduate with degrees from the school for various reasons. [...]
Behind the Book: Jay Santiago
Out of all the characters that were introduced in The Diamond Collection, it seems that Jay Santiago has is the most popular. I don’t know if it’s because of his protective nature or the description of his looks, but he’s definitely a fan favorite. The name Jay Santiago came from a couple different places. I [...]

Other minor settings are San Juan, Puerto Rico, Dallas, Texas, and the fictional Copperton City, Georgia, which will be introduced in The Ace of Diamonds. When I first started writing Diamonds in the Rough, I knew that I wanted the main characters to [...]
Update: The Ace of Diamonds
“Where is the Ace of Diamonds,” is a question that I commonly hear. I get the question in person, in email, and through Facebook and Twitter. To be honest, a part of me does enjoy hearing the question because it lets me know that people are interested in my work. In addition, it also makes me feel as [...]
Bout to Explode…Nowhere for You To Run
I gave this post the title, “Bout to explode, Nowhere for you to run,” because that’s how I feel when it comes to Dawn Richard’s music. I feel like she’s about to be the next best thing and everybody is going to be a witness of it! To be honest, she’s already the next best thing! [...]
