Bio:

Hiya...love reading interracial romances and attempting to write a few. I'm an anthropology major but I love to read. Oy...this bio sounds awful. I'm Haitian-American who was born in Haiti, raised in New York City (Harlem) and lives currently in Paris, France.

================================================

As far as my fics. I decided to take a chance and write a few. They will be a mixture of Original fics and fanfics. For the fanfics---they will be geared toward interracial pairings I guess---on shows. Since those seems to be shows I'm watching or one in particular which is Justified. In regards to the original fics, I focus entirely on various interracial pairings with some constants: Black women---always and sometimes Black men. But Black women are the lead female. Lead males are culturally different from East Asian to West Asian, to European, to Latin American and so on and so forth.

Other constants.

1. Lead females characters are always virgins. I write about those I can relate too---so as one--I write about them.

2. Minor female characters---not always virgins.

3. 97% of Female leads will have locs. As a woman with locs I promote locs and natural hair. I do not in any way support relaxers and will not feature women like that as my primaries and probably not minors. If they have a relaxer or weave---they'll probably be a villain.

Just a heads up. :D

Six Feet Under by Renee Banks

Rated: Mature Content

[Reviews - 57]

Summary:

Photobucket

At seventeen years old, Leah Henderson is homeless and pissed off as hell at the world. Pick pocketing is a trade she's become accustomed to and used as payment for what she thinks society owes her. However, her most recent victim is definitely no push-over or willing to let a "criminal" out of his sight until she is behind bars where she belongs.

Officer David Greenburg is a kind-hearted man with a loving temperament and wholesome family that, in his opinion, could use another addition and the young lady soaked to the bone sitting in front of him seems to be the perfect candidate. David's eighteen year old son is less than thrilled and more than happy to see her go, at least that's what he keeps telling himself.

Title: Chapter 4: CapitoloTre

Another great delivary. I can't wait to find out how all these guys are related if they are. I'm assuming that Eric went to college---but he's working there as a bartender. I wonder if he's like a professional bartender (they go on competitions and stuff). And I noticed there were several Italian guys...I got to wonder if they all are related or just friends.

Title: Chapter 2: Capitolo Un

Wow, what a great start and so bloody engaging. I love this story. I'm a bit late to the game, but I'm here now and I'm glad to be reading this story. The characters grab you right off the bat the mixture of third and first person is well done and it feels like I'm in the story along with the characters. It's just great stuff. Please continue---as I see you're doing. Off to R& R the second chapter. Again, this is brilliant. I'm all over Ernesto and Mary--as characters not a couple. Ernesto is cool and Mary is a sweetheart. I'm in the same boat---I've got a $80,000 university debt I have to figure out about paying. It's too bad I hated the finance side of Economics and focused on the theory of it all. Ugh. Theory doesn't pay bills.

Nice Guys Always Win by Renee Banks

Rated: Mature Content

[Reviews - 113]

Summary:

Photobucket

Jonathan Denson isn't what you'd call the life of the party but when he enters a room, he commands attention. The only problem is, the attention he craves isn't the attention he's getting. It's just too bad that the only person he ever truly wanted isn't ready for what he has to offer. Left with no other option, John decides that he's sick of leaving romance up to fate and takes his love life into his own hands.

Huge shout out to KKMonroe, formerly CPM09, for my title. This story would have been called something I wasn't completely satisfied with if not for her genius. Thank you, lovely lady :)

Title: Chapter 1: Short 1

This is a briliant fic. I'm obsessed now a days with Justified. I'm catching up from S1. And I have to say I'm definitely entertained. I'm not an obsessive shipper. But I like the way Rachel interacts with the guys and in particular Raylan. I can see them having R/R Bathsheets---cheesy but I feel it might appeal to Rachel's secret feminine side. Thank for this nice fics. Please write more.

Author's Response:
Thank you for reviewing. I wanted to but the gap between seasons has dampened my muse. Maybe I'll trying again after I've satisified my Suit's muse.

Title: Chapter 1: Mornin' will come

I feel sorry for the man who was still invested in this relationship. I'll love him. She doesn't need to for herself---I hope he finds someone who loves him unconditionally, everlasting. As my mother said---you can't fall out of love with someone. You just never loved them in the first place. Because love is forever and I sincerely believe that. I realize the story is not really about him---more so her and how she's fallen out of love with him. But he's more interesting to me.

Stereotypically Yours

Matheson felt that VaLysia was just another angry black female when she brought her grandmother to dinner at his mother's request. VaLysia thought Matheson was just another uppity white prick. Neither of them expected the sparks to fly!

Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 9 Curiosity and Compromise

This is a totally brilliant story. There are not many Black women as virgin stories and as one who's in her 30s and waiting for marriage--we're depicted as rare and impossible to find. I'm glad you wrote this story for some of us. Some of us have an ideal we're waiting for and aren't ready to go with just anyone, even the flatterers. Not to mention I think Val is a great person. At first I was a bit put off, I've been said to be militant---since I've always been natural and hate relaxers and now sport dreds. So it's great to see she put her hang ups to the side to see what she can have with Matheson. Thanks again for this story. One thing that irked me. Emily said some rather stereotyped/racialized things about Black women and then a few chapters later she's talking about them being family. I'm a bit weirded out by the switch. It doesn't seem natural.

Author's Response:
LOL. The reason why this story is called Stereotypically Yours is because I wanted to bring out all of those racist things that everyone has in the backs of their minds.

Now Emily said this because she really had no contact with the black community. Like most white folks she draws her conclusions based on what she sees in the media. Her response to Matheson is due to fear of the unknown.

Now she knows Mavis is black and she loves Mavis with all her heart and there is no fear there. It's not that unbeliveable. The point I was trying to make with Emily is that people draw conclusions about others until they get to know them and then their perception of people changes. I have more of that throughout the story.

I met a woman once and my impression of her (before I got to know her) was that she was straight up ghetto with her gold teeth and weave and tight clothes and fake nails and fake designer bags. Once I got to know her though, I found out all she had perservered through so much as a child. Her mother was killed when she was six, she was raised by a sick grandmother, she had four children at a young age, etc, but she was smart and working and was a really good mother with nice mannerable children.

We all draw conclusions about other people we don't really know. It's just human nature. My purpose of this story is to bring all these things to light and have a little fun doing it. Thanks for the review.
