I was just thinking by Erica

Dear readers, fellow authors, bill collectors and the such,

Please excuse Erica N. Martin's absence as she has been working like a crazy woman to release the much anticipated (at least that's what I was told, hmp!) sequel, Straight with no chaser. She has sat tirelessly at her computer for 14 days straight, forgoing all calls and appointments to finish this book. (Car note people, I've been meaning to call you but what had happened was....)

So when you come to her house to collect your money, please excuse the condition of the house as Gary and Mookie have basically been living like bachelors (Hot and Ready Pizza Nights and lots of them). Excuse all the Red Bull Energy Drink Cans and boxes of No-Doze (hell I had to use something!) The pile up of dishes...well we decided to throw them all away and start from scratch... (I'm kidding. I had to laugh at that one, as I imagined my mother's face when she reads this like , "Oh hell naw! I know she don't have my grandbabies over there living like that. Let me get my purse. Where's my damn keys!" I'm just joking Ma!)

But alas, the project is finally finished. Sydni, Blake, Ariel and Mya have dominated her life for over 7 months and finally she is free of these $%^&'s ahem, women. (I never want to be this close to 4 women ever again in my life!) As much as she loves them, she's happy to be finish with her beloved characters! So please be patient as she regroups, cleans her house, pays some bills and brings her children back to a healthy eating state of mind.

She is going to rest for another week and then it is on to Indianapolis to release "Straight with no Chaser" at the Black Expo.

Thanks for understanding,

Erica...I mean her personal assistant (Ha! Yeah right!)
