Norfleet and I’m an avid reader and a national best-selling author of over twenty novels. I write category romance for Kimani Romance, single title romance for Kimani Arabesque and young adult for Kimani TRU. My romance novels are realistic with a touch of humor. They depict strong sexy characters with unpredictable plots and exciting storylines. My young adult novels are dramatic fiction, reflecting current issues facing African-American teens. <br /><br />This evening I’ll be participating on the young adult panel so make sure to stop by at 9:00pm and 10:15pm. See you there!<br /><br />Blessings & Peace,<br />CelesteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15713569.post-51185595421553882682009-08-25T00:26:38.133-05:002009-08-25T00:26:38.133-05:00Hi all,

So you all have a lot to teach me :-) I'll be chatting this week about journaling and writing book reviews. <br /><br />In my day job, I'm phasing out of a family owned heating company to put more full time into my own purposeful life coaching, non-fiction, and speaking career. I will be teaching an 8-week online class based on the Gems of Wisdom series (first book) and giving away a few attendee spaces over the next month ;-) Be watching.<br /><br />So nice to be here with you all this week. I'm learning so much as an attendee and hope I can help someone else when it's my turn to be on topic.<br /><br />God bless all of you,<br />Angie<br />http://www.MyGemofWisdom.comAngBreidenbachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193337694193623903noreply@blogger.com
